It would be awesome if the SimfestUK crew could post the IP for our PSX connections. Loved that feature last time.

Thanks!

[Gary Oliver]

Just setting that up now...

[Toga]

What's that?

Very nice! :thumbs up:

@Toga
You can connect your PSX client to SimfestUK's PSX server (probably a Router) in read only mode. I.E. you get their complete sim state but can't turn their engines off.

[Toga]

So do i just put their IP in the Preferences > main network > localhost (here) ?

[Jeroen Hoppenbrouwers]

Yes -- but wait until they publish it.

[Jeroen Hoppenbrouwers]

Just a few hours . . .

 Is there a significant risk of too many PSX enthusiasts hooking up to a flight or flight segment and overloading a server or some other critical flight sim resource? 

I don't have a clue as to how many might try to connect to this or other flight segments and I also don't have a clue as to how much resource stress might be created.

Basically, I would also like to hook up but I don't want to interfere with their flight(s)!

[Jeroen Hoppenbrouwers]

In theory the Router/Switch intermediate buffering system should prevent exactly this. Whether this works in practice needs to be experimentally verified  :-D

Server:


There is no risk of overloading any sim-critical resources.

Little PSX add on I made to spit the data to a webpage

[Berndo]

Connected, working fine!

Thanks again.

[Toga]

What a fantastic feature! Kudos Hardy!

I'll be joining on UAL1120, a Williamsburg VA-based B737-800...

[Phil Bunch]

I successfully joined at 52.31.234.104

Thanks for making the flight(s) accessible through PSX!

I just tried this, but I get a completely fronzen cockpit, at 39.000 feet engines at idle.

Any thoughts?

Same for me - I posted success too quickly in my previous post.

I tried all sorts of things to make sure my client PSX was set up correctly and can't find anything wrong.

If I restart PSX, having first set the IP address, and after connecting as a Client, the aircraft seems to go through all sorts of strange malfunctions but the altitude never changes.  The other segments of the instrument panel seemed to change but I couldn't make sense out of the flight's "progress".

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions of how to connect to the flight with a more reasonable/normal result.

I've been able to connect a few times... however, my client consistently shows EGT exceedences (each session, so a ham handed pilot ought not to be the variable ).... other than that, I am able to view.... wishing ALL teams much success in this worthwhile endeavor...
