okay I think I am going mad here. simconnect will not work for me. I am going to try and explain step by ste and hopefully some one can help before they take me to the funny farm haha.

 

some generals first of all.

2 machines 192.168.1.107(fsx) and 192.168.1.109(remote)

all sharing is working fine

FSUIPC installed (full version)

when fsx started debug console pops up

try to test with AItraffic and no connectivity.

 

all right with all that being said: I installed sdk on disk 1 then installed sdk1a on acceleration and then sdk on the acceleration dvd onto the FSX machine. install went fine and each previous version was removed. I then copied simconnect.exe over to my remote computer and ran it.

I then edited my xml file to look like this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

 

<SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">

  <Descr>SimConnect Server Configuration</Descr>

</SimBase.Document>

 

 

and placed it in the ..\..\roaming\microsoft\fsx folder

 

simconnect.cfg was then eddited and looks like this:

 

 

[simConnect]

Protocol=IPv4

Address=192.168.1.107

Port=5000

MaxReceiveSize=4096

DisableNagle=0

 

 

it was placed in mydocuments on the remote machine

 

and simconnect.ini was placed in the flights simulator files folder on the fsx machine.

 

I am so confused right now and any type of assistance would be appreciated

 

Thanks again
