So I tested it myself, no problem.
Yes, the 1200 port is correct, unless it's already in use by your PC.
Otherwise you have to enter the full path with the .exe
Example:
C:\BeyondATC\BeyondATC.exe
If you still have a problem, there should be a Flow_LaunchAppli_Server.exe window open,
What does this window say ?
If Flow_LaunchAppli_Server.exe not open, it's because :
you haven't launched it,
or it's crashing, perhaps because port 1200 is already in use, or because .net framework 5 isn't installed on your machine.

If you don't see it in the widgets, you probably don't have the right version of flow Pro.
The latest version is v2023.33.3.18

Try this Launch Windows Explorer and navigate to the Flow_LaunchAppli_Server.exe directory and type cmd in the address bar,
then type Flow_LaunchAppli_Server.exe and enter. The window should be minimized, but not closed.
Enlarge it again and send me a screenshot of the window.
On the Parallal 42 discord in u2u-Widget there's a topic about this widget or in PM on flightsim.to
I have a new version coming where the communication port can be selected. But before deploying it, to make sure there are no other problems, some feedback would be useful.
Thanks
