The problem is, that the simconnect files aren't on my FSX machine. I cannot setup the host either. Is there a way around installing the SDK? And if not, which is the correct SDK version for the Acceleration Pack as download version?

 

When you install Latitude, it checks whether you have SimConnect on the machine, and if not, it launches (should have) the SimConnect installer (latest FSX-based version). If you cancelled the installation of it, you can uninstall and reinstall Latitude and it will launch it again. You can check wether SimConnect is installed or not in the Control Panel - Uninstall. It should be "Microsoft Flight Simulator SimConnect Client v10.0.61259.0)".

I think the problem is that the server/FSX computer is missing SimConnet. Client computer might now have SimConnect installed by Latitude.

 

Could this be solved by installing Latitude on the FSX computer? Then both machines would have SimConnect? After that you could only use Latitude on the client machine, maybe.

I got things sorted out:

I haven't had installed SDK in the FSX machine yet, so the simconnect.xml and simconnect.ini were missing. I installed it in the default path first (program files/Microsoft Games...), which wasn't a good idea obviously. So I uninstalled it again, and afterwards I reinstalled in a now folder, C:/FSX SDK. Then I was able to find all the needed files, I placed them in the Appdata and the user/documents folders and now, only 4 hours later, it works! ;-)

Thanks a lot for your help, I am off for flying my first patterns with Latitude now!
