Ah ha! There's your problem. Your Windows Regional settings is different than on your server. The Lat/Lon coordinates have comma separators rather than a decimal point. And the frequencies are incorrect too

[WP0]
sWPID=EBOS
sWPType=A
sWPLat=070,25
sWPLon=087,73

sWPCtr=18
sWPSec=582
sWPFreq=12575,
sWPAlt=500
Accent=1
Backup=2
Dist=00
Route=

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

I changed the region in the client to the same as the server but the problem persist.
However, come to think of it, the FP has been made with LittleNavMap (yet) on another PC.
So that might be the culprit, not he PF3 client PC.
I will check that tomorrow.
I always pull my hear out with Windows, I didn't change anything, just installed the same windows on all my Pc and yet
it still manages to screw thing up :-(
Cheers,
Luc

I just had a quick look and they're all on the same region.
But, in Belgium we use comma, not a decimal point.
So how could I fix this?
Cheers

If its working on your server there's another setting somewhere that's different on your client. I'm not at my pc right now so can't tell you exactly but you can change the number format separately from regional settings. Try Google.

Thanks Dave for your support. However it looks like this Networked installation is going to be an uphill battle :(

First I finally got ht Regions setting fixed in Windows 10, which btw, is not as straightforward as you might think, but I managed.
Then I could connect to the FS2020 but I got the error "MSVCP140.dll was not found" which I solved by installing vc_redist both x64 and x86.
Then I got the error "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll not found". I got so frustrated I installed ALL vr_redist, from 2005 till 2015-2017.
So that cleared that error and I thought we're in business. Think again.
Next problem is that after connecting PF3 "initializes" and you get the "ding-ding" but nothing showing up on the screen (Server and Client)
I have then both Remote Text and PF3 successfully running and connected on the Server (FS)
But I still don't get a window popping up with the different frequencies in my Originating airport.
When I run PF3 on the server, after connecting I get the "ding-ding" and a window pops up with the frequencies, but not with PF3 running on a networked PC.
Any idea how I can solve this?
Cheers,
Luc

Please attach the PF3.INI file from your server and client
