Connect VRC to ES via Proxy: works / allows inline windows

I do not know if this topic was ever raised, but I am so amazed that I want to share it. Euroscopes proxy server allows VRC clients to connect. I know, it might be old news for some of you, for others it might be interesting.

 

My VRC setup as TWR always had a small window "on top" that would show the final of the active runways thus no need to zoom-out to get an airport overview.

 

EuroScope does not support resizing windows nor making them "always on top", and after reading the "2 scopes" topic I gambled around a bit. Here is the solution:

That makes me happy and jumping around

 

The easy steps:

1) download a program that allows to stick windows "always on top". Via Google, I found http://www.codeproject.com/KB/DLL/WinPin.aspx (26kB, you need to register for free). Run it and make VRC "always on top".

2) in VRC, add the line "localhost localhost" to the myservers.txt

3) In EuroScope, start the proxy server. In VRC, connect to "localhost". (Works only if EuroScope is connected to VATSIM).

 

Works like a charm and saves you the F7 or the m[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ive middle mouse scrolling.

Thought ahead means you can mix your multi-montor setups with VRC and EuroScope instances (if you should ever need it...)

Hmmm. To be honest I am a little bit surprised about this. The proxy connection needs some additional communications that is surely not available in VRC. So it is not intentional.

Hi,

 

Euroscope have some features to show windows in part of the screen (right click maximize windows), so you can also do that using only Euroscope.

unintentionally: yes, I was surprised that it worked. Well it does no harm to the network at least. You cannot use VRC at its full function via proxy (no flightplans are transmitted etc.) but it is OK to show the traffic.

 

maximize window: no, that exactly (an inline window) is not possible with the built-in functions (so far).
