Running on different computers

As PACX uses FSUIPC as its simulator connection, WideFS and/or XPWideClient will allow it to communicate across multiple computers. The process for configuring PACX to work across a network is as follows.

1. Install WideFS (for FSX or Prepar3D) or XPWideClient (for X-Plane) on the computer the simulator is on and configure it.
2. Install PACX on the computer you wish to run PACX on.
3. Determine and record that computer's IP address and the network port setting in PACX.
4. Install PACX on the computer that the simulator will run on.
5. Open PACX on that computer and allow it to install PACXBridge.
6. Create (or edit, if it exists) the Settings.xml file in the %localappdata%\PACX folder on the computer the simulator is on.
7. Edit the Settings.xml to reflect the IP address and network port of the other computer (from step two).

An example of the Settings.xml file is provided below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PACX>
  <Settings>
    <NetworkIP>192.168.0.3</NetworkIP>
    <NetworkPort>9000</NetworkPort>
  </Settings>
</PACX>
