oops time !

Recommended Posts

OK guys I've been a bit of a plonker and in a fit of annoyance I decided to have a clear out and update p3d to 2.4 by doing a full delete and reinstall.

 

And here's where the fun started because some how presumably the migration tool I have managed to delete the scenery database of fsx !!!

Anyway not the end of the world it just means having to do a double install of my scenery.

But my problem is that I cannot find anywhere  a copy of the simconnect.ini file mentioned in Rob's advice on patching 2.3 to 2.4

So could someone tell me how to create or what to install to get this file.

 I've already installed the latest SDK but no simconnect file

 

Thanks

Go to C:\ProgramData right-click it and restore it to the point when your fsx scenery.cfg was present with your sceneries. As to simconnect i'm afraid i can't help you. Some P3D users have to chime in here

There were a couple of thing I couldn't find either, but I went ahead and followed the directions for what I did find, and everything worked!

mazelda,

 

AFAIK, the simconnect.ini file is not mandatory. In its virgin state, it initiates logging for simconnect. There are a number of other parameters which are texted out.

Am i correct in thinking though that If I want to run things like active sky next from another pc/laptop then I need to have simconnect?

If the answer to that is yes then I still need to find and install it

thanks

Not necessarily.  The simconnect file in Rob's instructions is only used by certain addons.  I did not have that file when I upgraded and everything works fine including ASN.  ASN will install its own simconnect when you install the 2.4 version.  All of my other addons that worked in 2.3 now work in 2.4 although a few required 2.4 updates.

Ah ok will leave for now

I take it then If I need one I have to create it myself?

Is the pro forma for it in the SDK kit? as an example
