February 14, 20215 yr I'm trying to get the Steam version of FS2020 set up and working on a machine that has also has FSX:SE, P3Dv4, P3Dv5.1, and X-Plane 11.50r1 installed. I can't get it to work. I don't know if I have a simconnect version issue or if I have to modify the FS2020 version of the simconnect.xml file. What version of simconnect does FS2020 use? How can I check? I'm thinking it might be a version issue because I can't get Rex Weather Force 2020, FSWidgets, etc to connect either. I was able to get SpadNext to work by using the same ip address and port entry that P3D uses in the simconnect.xml for that and copying it into the .xml file for FS2020.- [2021-02-13 19:34:45] Version 2.6.7 (revision 2edc5b0).

February 14, 20215 yr LNM comes with its own SimConnect which is a FSX SP2 version to ensure compatibility with FSX and P3D. MSFS is normally no issue with this (except the crashes they introduced with the last update). There is no need to install SimConnect or fiddle with any configuration files to run LNM. The connection problem might be caused by a modified SimConnect.xml which causes the interface to listen only on the network. Default is a pipe (sort of local communication) which used by most add-ons. Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap

I reused my old (very simple with two port entries) simconnect file that I used with FSX/P3D instead of the complicated one that FS2020 came with (or something else installed). That seems to have fixed it 🙂 [2021-02-14 14:27:05] Little Navconnect [2021-02-14 14:27:05] Version 2.6.7 (revision 2edc5b0). [2021-02-14 14:27:05] Data Version 10. Reply Version 5.

February 15, 20215 yr Thank you for the feedback. I think the most important part is that the pipe protocol is not removed from the configuration file. Some add-ons place or modify this configuration file too which can disturb SimConnect connections. Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap
