Hello everyone,

Anyone encountered issue with the last beta SP build 5360 (and P3D v2.3) ?

 

My ASN keeps saying "Waiting for simulator" despite SimConnect connection checked, windows shares OK, DLL.XML checked and new "ASConnect_P3D_Install.exe" launched on the P3D PC. It worked like a charm with any previous build.

 

Opened thread on HifiTec forum : http://www.hifitechinc.com/forums/showthread.php?3640-ASN-Build-5360-(networked)-P3D-v2-3-quot-Waiting-for-simulator-quot&p=19173&viewfull=1#post19173

Everything is fine here. I hope you can solve it.

PS: Did you deinstall ASN before installing this version?

Thanks Spirit for your interest.

 

Yep. ASN uninstalled before installing the new Beta...

Fine here too, and have to confess I did not even uninstall build #5354...

Here's my experience. I had issues with the new builds. I took 2 steps. One suggested by Kostas at HiFi and one to correct my error.

 

-first, I eliminated all traces of ASN on both machines. Program files, appdata, dll. xml entry...everything. I use a networked setting so that also included as_srv folder on the server machine. I searched after running the uninstall routine to find leftovers.

 

-at Word Not Allowed's suggestion, I disabled this file in the Prepar3D program folder, by adding .old to the end:

 

LockheedMartin.Prepar3D.SimConnect.dll

 

This forced ASN to use the fsx version of simconnect which as Kostas predicted, was more stable.

 

-oh yeah, you may have to manually add the dll.xml entry after installing the new build. There is a link to a browser page that describes the entry; in the ASN program folder.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Graham

Thanks Graham,

You mean you have a LockheedMartin.Prepar3D.SimConnect.dll file in your Prepar3D program folder ?

 

In my own Prepar3D program folder I only have a SimConnectP3D2.dll fle in the \Modules directory. You should wanted to write in the ASN directory,isn't it ?

 

Anyway deactivating it doesn't change anything and my "AI TRAFFIC.EXE" test still succeeded with or without this DLL.

SOLVE !

 

 

Solution : correct a wrong access right to shared directoy.

 

It should be my mistake concerning wrong access right to the Prepar3D directory. I always believe I haven't change anything between the two last ASN build. I was wrong. I recreate all share and mapping.  And finally it works.

 

I was duped by the ASN window which seems stucked on the "Waiting for Simulator" but the fact is that ASN was stucked somewhere else. Kostas asking me to export logs bring to my attention that all options were grayed. So ASN was stucked... somewhere else. As usual, if you can access log file it easy to diagnose issues (%appdata%\HiFi\ASNP3D).

 

Great support from Active Sky / Hifi on their forum.

Glad you got it sorted. My bad. I should have said Active Sky program folder. Duh! I didn't mention permissions as you indicated previous builds were good. Anyway, all's well that ends well.

Thanks Graham.
