Hi.

Please have a look at my configuration (see attachments).

I need help.

What do I do wrong? I don't have connection.

Thank you

Please check that your computer's firewall allows inbound and outbound connections for this port for the Aerofly executable.

I don't know.

I'll be refund for the FSWidget app (it is an expensive caprice after all).

Unless ApfelFlieger is able to give the solution (on Mac)...

Thanks

You don't need to enable 'Broadcast Flight Info to...'. For FSWidgets app, just enable 'Send Flight Data to FSWidgets app', thats all.

Then in the FSWidgets app ( either mobile or macOS or Windows ) enter the IP address of the computer that is running Aerofly FS 4.

Also ensure you enter the port 58585 in the app.

That's all. Simple instructions can be found here.

The option 'Broadcast Flight Info to...' can be used with apps like ForeFlight to show the flight path.

admin thank you, it works at all.

But, for FSWidgets, I will wait an update (the last one was 2 years ago and it does not smell like good health and their site is under maintenance for months).

Unfortunately, I can only get in touch now:

Setting on my Mac with FS 4:
Setting on my iPad with iGMapHD:

The IP address is that of my Mac in the house WiFi.

Does anyone know which apps / software 'Broadcast Flight Info' works with? I know admin mentioned ForeFlight - any others?

Thanks

As far as I know Garmin Pilot App and Foreflight should work, too.

Thanks Jan. Apparently it works with 'Enroute Flight Navigation' - I haven't had chance to try and set it up but it says its supported.
