September 11, 20205 yr Not sure what I'm missing. MSFS is running and the A320 is loaded. The message I get is: Unable to connect to Flight Simulator! Please load the host aircraft first then try again! Richard
September 11, 20205 yr Yes it's normal. You must first launch MFS2020, launch a flight with A320 and then launch the software.

If you're sitting in the Airbus cockpit and you still get the "can't connect" message, it means there is something wrong with your Simconnect installation. B.

September 12, 20205 yr Author Does Simconnect install automatically with MSFS2020 or is there an additional step to install it. I did download the SDK and I see there is folder that contains Simconnect.dll but I don't think the sim knows about that folder. Richard

It currently uses the FSX version. You can find it here: Flight Crew A320\redist\fsx_simconnect\SimConnect Try running it again with Admin rights. B.

September 12, 20205 yr Author Sorry, I still can't get it to work. I uninstalled Flight Crew A320 and reinstalled with Admin rights in the directory where the installer wants to put. Started MSFS2020, brought up the A320 and ran Flight Crew A320 with Admin rights. Still can't connect so I ran Flight Crew A320\redist\fsx_simconnect\SimConnect. Still no luck. I did notice there are multiple versions of SimConnect installed, probably because P3D also uses it, and MSFS20 has Simconnect in various folders. Richard
September 13, 20205 yr Commercial Member Did you run it with Admin rights? Your Simconnect is broken... can you repair it? B. York FS2Crew Web Site / FS2Crew Facebook Page / FS2Crew Discord
September 13, 20205 yr Author If its Simconnect in MSFS then I don't know how. I understand that Simconnect is part of the MSFS install. I think I'm going to wait for patch#2 and do an uninstall and full install on MSFS2020. Thanks for you help and I'll let you know how it goes. Richard
