hello folks i have a problem that i dont understand, i had to reload FSX deluxe and the sdk , after doing so i found the xml file to be differant than the the last set up i had .this is all the file showed , when i had fsx loaded the last time the xml was much larger in size , i see no global .im trying to get asx running and i do not see what they are telling to change to get it to work.the xml ile in this reload of fsx is much smaller than the last one , what changed .also i get a little confused on all these sp1 , sp2, sp1a updates.so once again im confused on why the sdk xml file is much smaller, when in fact the last set up i had before i had to reload FSX the xml file was much bigger.what am i doing wrong thanks.this is the xml file that i have now and it is not the same as the last one.thanks.......Robert<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?> - <SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0"> <Descr>SimConnect</Descr> <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename> <Disabled>False</Disabled> - <SimConnect.Comm> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Protocol>Auto</Protocol> <Scope>local</Scope> <Address /> <MaxClients>64</MaxClients> <Port /> <MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize> <DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle> </SimConnect.Comm> </SimBase.Document>

Your original XML file probably came from RTM, but in SP1 or SP2, we made the Local options automatic (ie they are started automatically, unless they are specifically disabled in the SimConnect.XML file, so they don't need to be listed normally - and in fact, for local only connections, you don't need a SimConnect.XML file at all).Global entries have always needed to be added by hand (or possibly by a 3rd party addon installer) - if you have the SDK installed, there is a sample XML file in there with all 3 (IPv4, IPv6, Named Pipe) of the global entries you are remembering (that might be where you got that one last time :-> ).
