Hi

 

For three months I have attempted to operate P3D with CPFlight.  I have CPFlights Hardware but when trying to connect get a message saying "Wrong Protocol or connection state for the requested transaction".

CPFlight have been trying to give support but have not cracked it.  As I only get one email a day from them, support is slow and endless.  Help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Hmm, i have the CPFlight MCPEL ,EFIS,NAVS,COMS,TRANSPONDER. Have you installed and tried your USBs?

What about the control software inside w10? Does it work there?

Maybe we should start which exact MCP you have: EL or PRO, 1/2/3, USB or LAN ...

Thank you for your replies.  I have the Pro3 Ethernet MCP.  I think this is a simconnect problem.  When I try to install it flashes at speed.  It should ask me if I wish to install the CPF_DLL_FSX.dll. I need a way to sort this!

No need to start a second thread.

I have the PRO2 MCP but i didn't have to fiddle around with simconnect. Can you see the MCP in the CPFlight Hardware Test tool? 

Hi Joe

Im sort of desperate after three months trying to sort this with £4000 of CPFlight doing nothing.  The CPFlight instructions say to install simconnect.  The test shows everything is ok.  The MCP, CDU, and radios are all there.  Mine is the Ethernet version.  If you could help or point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.  CPFlight don’t want to know.

CPFlight support is far from good, i know.

Which addon-Plane do you use, PMDG? You have insert the "EnableDataBroadcast=1" in your 737*options.ini?

Yes, PMDG but I starting off with the default aircraft.   When I click on the simconnect msi it just flashes at speed and does nothing....

Did you install all four simconnect.msi?

It just installs, then you have to move the CPFlight folder to the P3D installation folder. Then you start FSCOM.exe.

 

I followed the instructions to the letter....To allow the CPFlight driver to work properly with P3d browse your system on the folder where you installed P3d and find this path....Lockheed Martin\prepar3d\.........\lib and double click on the simconnect file.

I double click and it flashes and goes.......

You find "Microsoft Flightsimulator SimConnect ...." installed under "Apps and Features"? If yes, thats enough.

Not there Joe.  Had an email from Paolo today asking what version of P3D.  So all is not lost......just yet!

Have you start the Simconnect install wie Administrator privileges resp. "run as administrator"?

That I do not agree with. The few times I needed support I sent an email and got a reply within 1 day...

Joe

i cannot find the options ini in NGXu.  Can you guide me?  Maybe I don’t have it?
