May 27, 20197 yr snpower, you are not alone... I have been following this post as I have the same problem , the native P3D simconnect works but any app that uses the old FSX simconnect.dll does not detect the sim , I use JinFS and Little navmap that both use the FSX simconnect and nione works , JFS reports looking for sim and never finds it I deleted Registry entries and uninstalled V4.5 , V4.5+HF and V4 and none makes a diff I also tried V3 , I beleive it is a windows problem somehow , I run FSC /Scannow Ok and also run the simconnect.ini for a log but it only logs about the P3D native simconnect nothing about the fsx ones , ( I know because SpadNext uses simconnect native and works OK.) The .ini and .xml simconnect are for logging or for remote connection to a SIM , nothing to do with this as it is a local install , also PlanG uses simconnect and it does not work. Very strange problem... JoinFS has a monitor function , if I uninstall the FSX simconnect and start JFS it reports the simconnect fsx is not installed , I then install it and reports cannot find sim...

May 27, 20197 yr I dont think this is an LM problem... I tested it with P3D from V3 to V4.5+HF...at the moment I have a clean install of V4.5+hf and no add ons. Jorge
May 27, 20197 yr Author So I might be a bit closer to nailing down the issue: I've been at this since 0600 eastern time... I reformatted my main drive (Windows and Prepar3D), and did a full install of Windows 10 letting it install all updates. Next, I installed P3D v4.4.16.27077. The Lorby flashlight worked as soon as I launched P3D! Feeling lucky, I moved to 4.5 and the fun stopped. I'm back to no simconnect.I sure hate to install Windows again??

May 27, 20197 yr and it looks that something is changed somewhere as after that I installed V3 to V4.5+hf and none worked... Jorge
May 27, 20197 yr there is a pst at P3D forum with this problem... http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6310&p=199203#p199203 Jorge Edited May 27, 20197 yr by aeronauta
May 27, 20197 yr @Lorby-SI , Oliver you wrote the flashlight app and it is not working , I think you are the best placed to see what is missing or wrong in the SIM or the system... It runs and the little green dot flashes on and off , the Lamp on and Lamp Off boxes remain greyed out and a small msg window pops up canot connect to sim... Jorge
