Pulling my hair out here guys...

 

After THREE attempts at reinstalling FSX, I get the following...

 

 

When you reinstalled did you wipe the registry files too? That might have something to do with it.

 

Also make sure you've got the .NET stuff in case it was deleted somehow (I doubt)

Finally I'd try reinstalling the SDK...

best way to uninstall programs is using iobit uninstaller, what it dose is after uninstalling a program let say fsx it makes a powerful scan where it scans the registry files for fsx and delete them just with one click, very fast and useful

Have you installed simconnect.msi? Do you have a simconnect.xml in the folder where your FSX.cfg lives? If the latter is true, try renaming the xml file.

I have tried installing simconnect.msi yes. No, there's no simconnect.xml in the FSX root folder.

 

I'm sure this happened after installing some A2A Accusim addons, but i've tried uninstalling and rolling back.

 

About to try an Acelleration 'repair'.....

 

Neither that, nor an SDK install made any difference:-(

I'd suggest something in your existing Appdata folders making reference to a 3rd party add-on, i.e. not a clean uninstall of FSX. Try PMDGs guide to completely uninstalling - http://support.precisionmanuals.com/KB/a87/how-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-fsx.aspx

Not in the FSX root folder, in the folder where FSX.cfg is found, ie %AppData%\Microsoft\FSX

I wish.... It's not that, as that's exactly what I do use to uninstall/reinstall :-( Definately an addon that cocked it up as FSX was running hunky dory during testing.

Sorry, that's what i meant - no, nothing.

Is it a fsuipc issue? Apparently connectivity issues between fusipc & simconnect can be caused by a system security i.e. firewall issue either hardware (router) or software (Windows Firewall).

Okay guys, I've found the culprit.... First off, apologies to A2A for thinking it was that.

 

Although it's a truly fantastic addon, and I've never had an issue with it before, it the Quality Wings 757 that's cuaing the Simconnect initialisation failure. 100% for sure and treble checked. On every 757 installation, the problem starts. Uninstalling it removes the problem.

 

Guess I'd better head over to their forums. They're a great bunch of guys and will help me. I'm sure.

 

Thanks for your help.

Radar Contact was known to issue the same fault. You could try their solution.

 

If you search the forum you will find their support thread with JD explaining the process

Having trouble finding this thread. If anyone has any clues I'd be grateful. Searched with no results. Seems that Ernie at QW has no idea what it is either.
