Hello to everybody!
I have searched for this topic and found several questions and answers, but not specifically addressing my issue.
I have my system operating on two computers, connected via a home network.
I use one, home, computer to fly the P3D v3 simulator, and the other, remote, for all flight planning programs.
Both computers operate on Windows 7 Pro.
I know that the connections between the two PCs are OK, because the Display Unit on the Flight Planning remote PC connects with the DataProvider on the home P3D PC.
I know that the DataProvider is connected with the P3D simulator, because if I start the DU on the home P3D PC, its status indication immediately turns to green "OK" and the Moving Map icon is available.
At the same time, unfortunately, the DU on the Flight Planning PC, shows a yellow "Flightsim" status and the Moving Map icon is grayed out (this also happens if the home P3D DU is not turned on).
What is interesting, is that the DU on the Flight Planning remote PC, operates with the Moving Map "off", as the red airplane appears on the map, but does not move, unless I change the view (ground, departure, enroute, etc.).
Given all of the above, I know that:
1) the DataProvider is properly connected to the simulator on the "home" P3D PC,
2) the DU on the remote Flight Planning PC is properly connected to the DataProvider on the home P3D PC,
3) but unfortunately, the remote PC does not seem to know that the DataProvider is properly connected to P3D.
I am at a loss as to how to diagnose the issue or what to do next.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
regards,
Roberto Stopnicki
