3PC midi slaved to iPC master, but flying faders?....

I have a new Whole Hog iPC and a backup with widgets in a computer with 3PC running. I have successfully hooked them up now so that the board will fire midi out commands to the 3PC on the computer (with a $15 midi interface) and the 3PC will follow it with the cues running correctly, so have a slaved backup of the board so I could switch to backup if the board ever froze. But the virtual faders on the 3PC don't follow. Beause my show is pretty complex, if I ever had to flip the A/B switch, I would have to match the faders positions from the board to the computer virtual faders, but do it for every page of faders before I would be back to the same point in the show, and that cuold take a long time with a complex show, particularly if you can't remember them all off the top of your head.

In the Midi Windows there are windows about NOTE MAPPING and playback bars, is there any way to get these to make the faders on the 3PC track to the actual console?

Or any other way to do a true slaved backup?

    The errors were many over a 5 hour period while I was trying everything I could think of in synching linking.

    I can't remember them all, but best said it wasn't so much in errors on screen, but errors in behaviour, ranging from 3PC syncing but kicking off after a minute, to synching but all responses from IPC were slow and delayed, with the delay increasing over time from half a second to 5-10 seconds after a minute, with all fades being very jerky in execution.

    Most commonly, on the 3PC, although it would appear to sync normally, there was a yellow emergency icon in the bottom right corner of the right screen and none of the soft keys would work. That was the most common one.
