PSXT for MSFS - Error 20: Bind failed

[Bob R 2]

Hi,

Trying to get PSXT for MSFS to work, using RealTraffic. I keep getting error "20: Bind Failed." The FAQ mentions something about PSX, but I don't know what this is and pretty sure it's not something I have. I'm attaching the log in hopes that you might be able to help.

Been using PSXT with P3Dv5 without any issues.

Forgot to add: This is attempting to use a networked setup, which is what I do for P3D as well. PSXT_MSFS works fine if I run it on the simulator machine locally.

Wed Feb 10 06:43:33 2021 (utc) PSXT_MSFS version 21.5 for MSFS

That means that port 10747 at your PC is already in use. PSXT_MSFS wants to create a server at that port, the data providers RealTraffic or ADS-B connect to PSXT_MSFS via that port.

Check your apps by switching them off one by one and then try PSXT_MSFS, or maybe a fire wall is blocking this port?

Thank you!

Windows firewall is disabled on both PCs (I rely on the router's firewall) so I'm assuming things are open. 10747 is what RealTraffic is using, correct? I have to admit to being confused by the way ports are used. Trying to view them in resource monitor or by using netstat, I don't see any of the ports I thought would be listed.

This did help me narrow things down though. I double checked simconnect files and didn't have corresponding entries in the simconnect.cfg and the xml for MSFS. Now it is connecting and no more error 20.

I am getting "could not be created" messages though and eventual error 81 pretty frequently. Liveries are installed properly and show up in the sim, ran AILG, so I'm not sure what more can be done about that.

In the Log.txt you will find what liveries could not be created. You should at least remove them from AI_liveries.xml (in the data folder from AILG_MSFS.).

Or even better remove them from your sim and run AILG_MSFS.

However, in a few hours I will release PSXT_MSFS 21.6 which is more relaxed with error 81.

I'll go through and remove the ones that seem to be causing a problem.

Thanks for your help! Looking forward to the next version.

Small delay, hopefully tomorrow.
