EHM-1358 Tim:
But what if I want IVAC on one PC and FS2004 on another PC, how will that work?

EHM-1883 Matt:
I'm not sure myself. If the two screens are counted on the one computer, the connection will apply to both screens, so you could start IVAI on both sides, start IVAC, and hopefully the connection will show up on both screens. If that can happen, then you could use the other screen to start up FS, but I'm not totally sure. Since Murray has a two screen setup, maybe he could explain this better.

EHM-1798 Conrad:
No, it wouldnt work that way.

IVAi acts as a proxy and just allows two connections to show as one. If you had it running on two computers, then it would show 4 as 2 etc.

EHM-1798 Conrad:
Bear in mind that you will only be able to appear as a Control Tower, not able to fly...

You can do it over a network:

Start IVAi on one pc, choose IVAC to look for "Localhost" (instead of the server list). Then when connecting in flight sim, choose the networked pc's IP eg : 10.0.2.1.

This should then work.

EHM-1617 Iain:
The IvAi manual says that it can be used both to supply a radar for a pilot, and to supply a tower view for a pilot. It also says that the PC does not have to be the same for each component.

I think this should work:

1. Run IvAi on any of the PCs. Better to do it on the one that will be under less load or has the faster connection. Connect IvAi to your chosen server.

2. Start whichever program relates to what you want to do (FS for flying, IvAc for controlling) and then connect it to IvAi. To do this type localhost as the server address if IvAi is running on the same computer as the program, or if it is on the other computer enter it's IP address instead.

To find the IP address for a computer, type ipconfig into a command prompt on that computer.

3. Start the other program. Connect it to IvAi in the same way as above.

4. Go fly/control.
