I'm sure that most people have a laptop, but "having it", and using it for flight sim, it's not the same thing.
If it was true that most people that use our products use multiple networked PCs for flight simulation, we should have seen it in the sales of the "Volume License", which is a specific license available ONLY to users that want to have more activations, because they need to run our products over a network.
This never happened so far, I don't think that sales of the Volume Discount option ever reach 0.1% of the total sales so, from this data, we can only assume that a very tiny minority of users use a network for flight simming.
Or, at least, only a very TINY minority of them is prepared to pay for it which, from our point of view (deciding if it's worth spending valuable time that might be spent otherwise), it's the same thing...

..maybe GSX can be controlled via FSUIPC Offsets ?
That would be great.

GSX doesn't requires or interacts with FSUIPC in any way.
But even if it did, it's not like that using FSUIPC could magically "control" GSX, it's not an issue of HOW to control it (we would surely use standard Simconnect ways, like how we'll connnect to SODE, for example). The issue is it must be AWARE of an external control and programmed to react to that in ways different than standard.
So no, it's not something that can happen easily or automatically, it would require (as explained so many times), an investment of time/manpower that we cannot afford to divert now from features that, instead of being used by a tiny minority of users, would benefit everybody.
I'll revert the question, so you can probably understand it more easily:
- Do you think GSX is 100% COMPLETE right now, and it doesn't need ANYTHING else, EXCEPT for a remote control option ?
If you can reply YES to this question, then it might make some sense discussing on a remote control option. But until then...we'll work on the rest, first.

What you did first is your decision, it was just an idea because many other Programms do it the same way and
FSUIPC is great (not only) for that.

Again, FSUIPC wouldn't be needed, since Simconnect provides any means of communication between add-ons in a client-server mode.
But as I've said, you are confusing the mean of communication (which is just an implementation detail), with WHAT a program should do when connected to something else and what different behaviors it should have. THAT'S the time consuming part, not the way the program communicates with its clients.
