Hello Guys,Few days ago i have been purchased the Active Sky X and tried to use it on a home network: Desktop PC with FSX (Server) and Laptop with Vista (Client).....so the problems are started here.I figured out i need to have the Simconnect client on the Client PC.What I did:On Server:- I have FSX SP2 installed- SDK SP2 installedOn Client- SDK SP2 installed- SimConnect (from the SDK SP2 package) installedOn both PCs the firewalls and antivirus softwares has been switched off.I have the required folders shared with the required permissions ( i have tested and i can reach everything from the Client PC).As per the simconnect instruction i wanted to test the connection: i have started the FSX on the Server (FSX main window) than the AI traffic on the Client. What is happening is just a blank command window for a quick flas, without any text on it.I already tried to uninstall the FSX SP2 than install again the SP1, SP2 in order to repair the maybe damaged simconnect, but nothing.Of course with the ASX i have problem as well; at the start-up it writes an error message concerning not valid simconnect SP1 found.I think the two problems are somehow related to eachother.I have checked many forums, checked and tried several things, but nothing happened.Maybe any idea, suggestion?Thanks guys in advance.Regards,Tibor

You need to run the SP1 version of SimConnect.MSI on the Laptop (since that is the version of the client lib the application is looking for). You can find this under the SP2 install of the SDK, look in:sdk\core utilities kit\simconnect sdk\legacyinterfaces\fsx-sp1\SimConnect.msiTim

Hello Tim,Thanks your answer, it is partly solved my problem, the ASX can start without any problem now.But the simconnect is still not working: the same blank command window just for a flash when i start the AI Traffic, and also the ASX not connected to the FSX.This is the header of the Simconnect log file:0.00000 SimConnect version 10.0.61259.00.00976 Server: Scope=local, Protocol=IPv4, Address=FSMASTER, Port=500, MaxClients=640.02364 Server: Scope=local, Protocol=Pipe, Name=\\.\pipe\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimConnect, MaxClients=640.03007 Server: Scope=local, Protocol=IPv4, Address=127.0.0.1, Port=1282, MaxClients=64The FSMASTER is the name of my Server PC (even i tried with the IP as well).It looks ok?For me a bit suspicious the 127.0.0.1 local IP, and the Scope=local all the time....but it really just a feeling.

Hello,Right now it looks like working.I made a mistake, i were put the Client IP address into the simconnect.cfg file :( Now with the Server IP the AI Traffic is connecting.Thanks again.Tibor

I'm assuming the FSMASTER on port 500 is an entry you added to the SimConnect.XML file? That one should probably have Scope set to Global (in fact I'm not sure how you connected from a remote machine without scope set to global, sounds like a bug in the server side code :->).The other two are created by default, whether they are listed in the SimConnect.XML file or not (to support local SimConnect clients), so those are fine.Tim
