FSXWX Not Connecting to Simmconnect

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I have a topic here: 

https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/511977-simconnect-connection-failed-error-in-fsxwx/#comment-3643044

and it hasn't gotten any replies for 11 days so I thought I'd post a new one.

 

Anyway, Here is my problem:

I got FSXWX installed for P3D and when I click Connect it says Simconnect Connection Failed.

I tried running the simconnect installer but it still had the same error in FSXWX.

Any ideas?

 

Thanks very much

1. Download and install FSUIP 4.964 or higher (my is 4.964 )

2. download and install net.framework 3.5

3. browse to ur P3D root folder ... redist -> Interface ->FSX-SP2-XPACK -> retail -> lib

install SimConnect.msi

 

4. restart PC

 

5. browse to ur P3D root folder ... -> weather and backup wxmapping.bin or rename

6. when done delete oryginal wxmapping.bin from weather folder

7. download modified wxmapping.bin unpack and copy/paste to weather folder

8. browse to: ur_user_name -> AppData -> Roaming -> Lockheed Martin -> Prepar3D v3 and delete file wxstationlist.bin

9. run P3D and go to airport.

10. now very important, run FSXWX as admin

// right click on FSXWX.exe or shourtcut and click on run as administrator

I did that and still had the same problem.

I have Microsoft .Net Framework v4.5 installed.

And the free version of FSUIPC4.  Do I need the paid version?

Also, what settings (if any) need to be set in FSUIPC in order for FSXWX to work?

 

Thanks very much for your time.

Default

So 4 sure better is freeware FSrealWX

You're welcome

Before install FSrealWX restore original game files

I'll be sure to do that.

 

Thanks

Yes.  Even though I never fixed my issue with this in P3D v3.4, now that I have v4.1, I got it installed and it works great.

 

Thanks.
