Re: PF3 not connecting
Doesn't appear to be anything wrong with that log... it was certainly connected to FS. Maybe you sent the wrong log. What error message do you get?

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

Re: PF3 not connecting
Thanks for answering, Dave. I get the following msg: (paraphrased) PF3 error window states <P3D not running or wrong FSUIPC>.
Here are more logs: Wasn't sure which ones were relevant... Thanks agn,

Re: PF3 not connecting
Actual error msg is: "Maybe running on WideClient, but FS not running on Server, or wrong FSUIPC." Next window says: "problem connecting to Flight Sim or Flightsim/FSUIPC not running!" P3D and FSUIPC are running on server (ALPHA PRIME) client is ALPHA.
(Rhetorical question) What could have my win11 pro upgrade have changed? Should I re-install PF3?

Re: PF3 not connecting
OK. I just tried using PF3 again just now and it failed to connect again. This time I'm sending two logs time stamped with the time of this most recent attempt.
These are the only 2 logs with the appropriate timestamp. max.

Re: PF3 not connecting
To my surprise... I solved the problem. In reading the WideClient help I found that adding the <ServerName=XXXXXX and Protocol=TCP> to the WC .ini file could solve connection problems. My PF3 is back to normal... so far.
Thanks Dave.
