Hello Everyone,

I trying to use FreeTrack V2.2 lastest version with Prepar3d V2, without success so far.

I have "log" P3D simconnect, which shows no connection :

For that I have used a simconnect.ini
_________________________________________________________
[simConnect]
level=Verbose
console=Yes
file=C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\SimConnect%01u.Log
file_max_index=9
_________________________________________________________

I have the same simconnect.xml in both FSX and P3D
_________________________________________________________
?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

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

I use this simconnect.cfg for FreeTrack :
_________________________________________________________
[simConnect.0]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=60500
MaxReceiveSize=4096
DisableNagle=0

Any idea or comment are welcome.

Thank you for your time,

Looking forward to read you,

It has worked for me since Day 1. Sorry that Im not much help with your problem, but I can't think of anything I did other than load p3d V2 and fire up FreeTrack.

Have you installed the P3D SDK? Not sure that's a solution, either.

Do you have all the proper simconnect files in their correct folders. and that the IP addresses are correct?

Hello John,

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I did not except anymore after 2 weeks. Very glad anyway.

I have read that you first start P3D then FreeTrack, it did not work for me. I have to start FreeTrack

first then FSX or P3D or FreeTrack freeze. The same happen with OpenTrack, which works sometimes

better than FreeTrack (filters and source codes available).

If you can spend more, could you please provide me your simconnect.cfg & .xml and screenshots of freetrack or the .ini file to compare with mines.

I do not have the SDK installed, but I do not think this could be the solution. I do not have it either in FSX.

If you have more time, please have a look at my own files, they work with fSX but not with P3D (same for opentrack), but as I wrote before I have to start freetrack (or opentrack) first.

 

Any idea or comment are welcome.
