<html><body><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><div>Funny story:</div><div><br></div><div>So, earlier this week I spent pretty much all my free time getting my KingAir sim into a state where I could "Show it off" to family members that would arrive (A few days ago)<br><br>Satisfied that I'd perfected the startup sequence and eliminated any weird quirkiness so as to exhibit the KingAir in all its simulator goodness and glory, I went to bed and dreamed of skies full of King Airs.</div><div><br></div><div>Enter the visiting family members:</div><div><br></div><div>About halfway through firing up the KingAir-Beast, the radios, gauges and Avidyne displays refused to behave. Switches were behaving erratically, and just a general malaise set in to the hardware like some giant invisible sim virus which I will name the "FAA" virus. (Make up your own acronym here).</div><div><br></div><div>My work... my crowning glory, would not spread her wings and take flight.</div><div><br></div><div>Checked everything... Everything pinged eachother, all was as it was the day before. In perfect working condition, except.. it wasn't working.</div><div><br></div><div>Long story short:<br><br>Family member "A" had an iPad, which connected to my wireless network. Simulator computer "B" had a static IP address set in the range of my wireless segment.<br><br>iPad A and computer B were on the same IP address.<br><br>...at which time I cracked open a bottle of wine for the night.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
