twgin Posted June 7, 2016 Report Posted June 7, 2016 I saw in release notes for an update a while back that corrections had been made for multi computer setups. I don't see anything here in the forums about this topic. I run two Windows 7/64 PCs with a crossover ethernet cable; one for cockpit view (master) and the other for out the window view (slave). I use FSGRW as a weather injector and SMP/RWC. What would best practice be with these components ? I currently run FSGRW on the master only, SMP/RWC on both the master and the slave, assuming that weather is passed to the slave via the network. What settings should be set on the x-plane environment tab for each computer ? Thanks for any comments... Terry Quote
sundog Posted June 7, 2016 Report Posted June 7, 2016 It comes down to the details of how FSGRW deals with networked setups like yours, which I don't really know. What I can say is that if FSGRW appears to be updating the METAR.rwx file on both of your PC's (are they both the same size with the same modification time?) then you should be in good shape; just set RWC to "automatic" and it should pick up the weather that FSGRW is broadcasting. My understanding is that FSGRW communicates with X-Plane to set the settings it needs automatically while it is active. If anyone actually has this sort of setup themselves, please chime in! Quote
