Swift Enable Proxy

Hi,

 

I currently use XSquawkbox to connect to VATSIM.

 

It has an enable proxy feature which allows my two visual x-plane pc's to connect to the master x-plane pc XSquawkbox.

 

All this means I can see VATSIM aircraft on all five of my external visual displays.

 

Can I do something similar with Swift or will I be restricted to only seeing aircraft on screens connected to my master x-plane machine ?

 

Cheers,

 

Duncan

Hi Duncan,

 

We use this feature to fly in a shared cockpit (Using SmartCopilot).

 

Of course, in this case, the second pilot (OBS (copilot) will use his own ID and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word.

 

The problem we have: On the OBS pilot side, only very near traffic is catch (May be less than 5 miles), as well on the Radar tab of swift, in external visual, and as TCAS alert.

 

As a ticket is opened here: https://dev.swift-project.org/T703, can you share your experience?

 

Regards.

This is what I plan to do.

 

Screens 1,2,3,4,5 from left to right.

 

Computer One (X-Plane Master) (screen 3)

 

Install Swift Core (Audio on core side).

Install XSwiftBus

 

Computer Two (X-Plane Visuals) (screen 1 & 2)

 

Install Swift Gui (more convenient for the gui to be here)

Install XSwiftBus

 

Computer Three (X-Plane Visuals) (screen 4 & 5)

 

Install XSwiftBus

 

My only concern is will the AI aircraft be drawn on all 5 screens.

 

If not I will stick with XSquawkbox which can do this.

Thank you for your answer,

 

Fantastic and interesting setup.

 

Will see what will happen with the traffic on screens 1,2 and 4,5, on ground and in flight.

 

PS: On our side we use the X-CSL package recently updated with the X-CSL updater 1.20.
