I've been trying to get this Demo to run but somehow I always get an error that in the demo version the flight should be less than 200 miles.
I tried different plans, now I'm down to 57 km. If I make it any shorter I might as well walk

Could someone look into this please?
Files attached,
cheers,
Luc

Well, it seems that PF3 gives a wrong error message

I run PF3 on a networked computer with WideFS and that seems to be the problem.
When I run PF3 on the MSFS sim computer then it doesn't give the 200 miles error and
connects to FS.
I'll make a new thread concerning the networking issue.
Cheers,
Luc

Just to clear up some things if anyone else would stumble on this thread with the same issue

Dave found the reason why I got this error, namely that my Client PC and the Server were configured in Windows with a different Region.
One was using "decimal point", the other using "decimal comma". So yes, therefore the coordinates didn't match, hence the error.
Conclusion; The error "...... more than 200 miles...." DOES make sense

Thanks Dave for your support.
Cheers,
Luc

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
