November 18, 201213 yr I have a fresh installation of FSX and Acceleration. I was getting "Can't Init SimConnect Error!" on startup, followed by Fatal Error. After much repairing and reinstalling of FSX/Acc/W7-64, that message has gone but nothing that uses SimConnect shows up. A SimConnect test says "Connection to Flight Simulatot via SP2 SimConnect FAILED. Seek assistance in repairing FSX Win SxS subsystem." This is way out of my expertise so I'm hoping an answer may be found here. edit: I've also discovered that I have two Simconnect .dll 124733 and 185120. Should there be three? Rob.
November 18, 201213 yr I've also discovered that I have two Simconnect .dll 124733 and 185120. Should there be three? I do not have either one of those versions installed. I have 10.0.60909.0 (came with original FSX) and 10.0.61355.0 (came with FSX/SP1) both in the FSX SDK folders. I have 3 in the winsxs folders, V10.0.60905.0, V10.0.61355.0, and V10.0.61637.0 (came with Acceleration). You state you repaired/reinstalled FSX and Acceleration. I hope you did not install FSX SP2, just FSX, then run FSX, then install Acceleration (includes SP1 and SP2). Make sure you have the SDK Installation completed too - http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=SDK_Installation_(FSX), including SP1a.

November 18, 201213 yr Jim, thanks for replying. In the event, the whole thing became so complicated that I elected to do a fresh install of Windows 7 - so many errors were being thrown up that I lost the will to live, having spent more than 20 hours working on this! I suspect it was all self-inflicted, trying to link AS2012 on my laptop to FSX on the pc. My Windows installation was only a few days old on my new setup, so not too big a deal once I'd bit the bullet. Just three days now to reinstall FSX... Thanks again, Rob. Rob Jones.
November 29, 201213 yr Did it work for you? And are any of the connected items Simkits gauges by chance?
February 27, 201313 yr This is an old thread, but I have the same problem. So bleepin frustrating!!! After a complete removal and reinstalation, I now get 'Can't Init SimConnect Error!' on launching FSX. I do have FSX SDK (Acell) installed, but stilll have the problem. Any ideas folks? Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)
February 28, 201313 yr Once the SDK was installed, did you go into the folder - Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\lib\ and run SimConnect?.
