Networking Plan-G

[grumman]

I normally run Plan-G on the same PC as FSX and everything runs fine. But just as an experiment I tried running Plan-G on a laptop on my home network, using Simconnect with the XML file modified as per the manual. It worked well, but I found that FSX slowed down, which was the opposite of what I expected.

I have a traffic monitor (DU Meter), and it showed a constant steam of data (about 8kB/s) going to the laptop.

Any ideas?

I have MonitorApp running on my Plan-G (v. 411) laptop, and it shows INTERMITTENT download bursts of 5 - 10 kbps while connected. I don't notice any slowdown of FSX on my FSX PC while I am connected.
