I have searched and read the forums regarding this topic. I am not sure where the actual problem lies. So far I have installed the SDK on the Sever (FSX machine) and Client. I have updated all the way to SP2 as this is what SP I have in FSX.I am sharing these files.Users/xxx/AppData/roaming/microsoft/fsxUsers/xxx/Documents/Microsoft Flight Simulator X Files andThe main FSX folder from the default install location.The files can be viewed, written to and saved from the client. However, ASE gives me a database update error and states that the sharing component is not setup properly. Not sure how that is. Been running ASE with FS9 for 2 years! Because of this error, I cannot use ASE now as it looks for the files and continues to error despite that fact that these files show under the server computer on the client network tab. I figured this issue out on my own. It seems that ASE will only recognize folders in the Users\Public folder for sharing. Just plain sharing and seting the path is what caused ASE to not work. I moved the files and edited the registry to the new path and it fires up. Sim Connect still will not work. I tried both sharing options, from the Users..... and the direct path that is created when you share a folder using the properties functions. NO diceI have read and gone through the ASE manual many times.Here are my filesSimConnect ini out of the Microsoft flight Simulator X file folder[simConnect]level=verboseconsole=0;RedirectStdOutToConsole=1;OutputDebugString=1;file=c:\simconnect%03u.log;file_next_index=0;file_max_index=9HelloHere is the xml file from the App Data/roaming/Microsoft/fsx folder<?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>global</Scope><Address>DAVIDZYCHOWSKI</Address><MaxClients>64</MaxClients><Port>500</Port><MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize><DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle></SimConnect.Comm></SimBase.Document>Here is the config from the client users/xxx/documents folder[simConnect]Protocol=AutoAddress=DAVIDZYCHOWSKIPort=500MaxReceiveSize=4096DisableNagle=0I have tried IPv4 and auto modes. I have tried IP (192.168.1.9) and computer name. Yet, I still cannot get it to connect when I use the AI Package exe from the Client.Yes, the msi was configured on the client as wellI created rules and opened port 500 on both machines. I even dumped AVG on the server and went back to Windows firewall. I also disabled both of them. Still will not connect.HiFi, why did you not just use WideFS for FSX like you did for FS9? That config takes the whole of 2 minutes!If anyone can shed some guideance it will be greatly appreciated and valued. If I had to guess, it seems as if the error is in the sharing aspect of things. However, I am not sure why they can be seen, opened, written to and saved then.This makes no sense.And, I am still waiting for HiFi support. I filled out a ticket days ago. They sent me survey forms for supoprt I did not receive.

David,Your ticket has been responded to. We apologize for any delay, but top-tier developer support takes a bit of time (especially over a weekend).We've answered all your questions as well including why we don't use WideFS/FSUIPC. Please also note that the SimConnect issue you are having, although we will do everything we can to help, is not related to Active Sky in any way (since the MS AI Traffic program won't even run). We support many SimConnect configuration issues each week... SimConnect is frustrating to us as well, but there is no way to bypass the requirement of a valid SimConnect configuration. Please respond to the ticket when you get a chance so we can get this figured out for you. Thanks!

Thanks for the response and explainations Damian. I look forward to working with you to find resolve to this SimConnect issue. If possible.
