Hi MartinCan you put the SimConnect.ini file into your "My DocumentsFlight Simulator X Files" folder.When FSX starts a cmd dialog will be lauched showing the version of SimConnect in use. After a few seconds you should see the cmd Dialog being populated with data as ASX talks to FSX.Please advise if this is happeningThanksCarl Hackmanhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-dev-sigbanner.jpg

Hello Carl,thanks for the speedy response. Yes, SIMCONNECT.INI is in the "My DocumentsFlight Simulator X Files" folder. And I can see ASX talking with FSX through the CMD dialog (this window is titled "SimConnect Diagnostic Output" on my machine). As I wrote, I assume that ASX and FSX are already talking (as ASX correctly identifies my startup location).Yours,Martin Georg/EDDFDirector, VATSIM Europe Division (VATEUD1) *** mailto:[email protected]

Thanks Martin Looking into possible causes now.Have you any other applications using SimConnect from the client?Is your IP address assigned or fixed. You can try using the Server Name instead of the IP as that will always resolve to the current IPRegardsCarl Hackmanhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-dev-sigbanner.jpg

Try a different port. A list of ports can be obtained at the following url http://www.iss.net/security_center/advice/Exploits/Ports/ and what I did was print it off. I found using 8002 worked for me. Also try the AI traffic example from the FSX SDK folder. It should show connected to flight simulator and a number under that. I found that was when I had a good port. I was able to get Connected to Flight Simulator but until I got the number 2 under it it did not work. Ken

Hello,Edit: For some very strange reason, now ASX connects to FSX via Simconnect over the network. I swear I have not changed anything since yesterday :D . Perhaps the system just needed some sleep :) :) :).OK, now looking to solve a different porblem: The ASX log reports masses of "Exception received:16" messages. Will try the forum search to see if this was mentioned already. Yours,Martin Georg/EDDFDirector, VATSIM Europe Division (VATEUD1) *** mailto:[email protected]
