Simconnect w/ FSX and ASX

Featured Replies

Hi.I have managed, with the help of a friend, to install simconnect so that I can run ASX on my "Client" Laptop and FSX on the "Server" PC. However, ASX will not generate weather. Also, the AI Traffic tester does not work. The tester does work on the server. The Server's IP address is correct in CFG and XML. All 3 folders are mapped/shared correctly as per HiFi instructions:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HiFi\XEngine\LastPlanPath: Set this to your desired flight plan folder, which should be shared on the FSX computer as \\fsxcomputername\Flight Simulator X Files
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HiFi\XEngine\FSPath: Set this to your desired Flight Simulator X installation path, which should be shared on the FSX computer as \\fsxcomputername\Flight Simulator X
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HiFi\XEngine\AppDataPath: Set this to your desired FSX AppData Path, which should be shared on the FSX computer as \\fsxcomputername\FSX

Thanks for your help in advance.... Mark

Hi Mark, If the AI traffic program won't run across the network, there are SimConnect configuration issues. First place to check would be Windows firewall, making sure your configured port is opened. Next, if any security software, make sure ASE and FSX both allowed. After that, examine the simconnect.xml file to make sure you have this configured properly. Does that help?

Thank you Damian for your input.It Seems, however, that I had forgotten FSX was still installed on the client. I uninstalled FSX on the client, all references to FSX and Simconnect. After reinstalling Simconnect, the AI Traffic test worked and I have now got ASX weather on my Server from the Client! Sincere thanks go out to my good friend, avsim member SRCOOKE for all his help and saintly patience. Mark
