Hello guys and Happy Christmas to you all.After continuous problems with FSX I decided to do a reinstall. No real problem with the reinstall operation except that resetting all the options took forever.However, I have now been left with a problem using my Saitek X52 Pro stick. The MFD (multi function display) does not connect to FSX. I have looked on the Saitek forums and there is one post saying to check that a folder X86_microsoft.flightsimulator.simconnect....... exists in the Winsxs directory. Well, it doesn't, but how do I get this folder and is it a simple drop in to reinstall this comms function? Why did the FSX reinstall not put this folder in the right place?Hope somebody can help.Chris Hall, Bournemouth, England.

Odd, you should have those folders, they should however autogenerate on reinstall. My issue were missing gauges in Merlin and Hornet.My issues with SimConnect got solved like this.

Do a search for simconnect and/or simconnect.dll in your C:\directory (not in your User account)(searches usually default to your User account). You will find them located where they should be located. Make sure you have at least SP1 installed. I don't have the Saitek joystick so can't help you getting the multi-function display to work. You might do a search here or in the hardware forum using Saitek as your keyword and maybe you'll find a solution there.Best regards,Jim
