New to P3D, FMC TIMEOUT issue.

[chewybacca 0]

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all well. I'm quite new to P3D and just purchased aviaCDU along with the PMDG 777 addon.

Unfortunately whenever I open any CDU on my ipad, I get the message "FMC TIMEOUT", and when I right click aviaserver, it is always indicating "waiting to connect".

My "777X_Options" file in the PMDG 777X folder has been edited to include:

[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1
EnableCDUBroadcast.0=1
EnableCDUBroadcast.1=1
EnableCDUBroadcast.2=1
EnableEFBBroadcast.0=1
EnableEFBBroadcast.1=1

I am running a firewall(Eset) and have opened ports "32111-32118", still to no avail. Heck even if I open a firefox/chrome window on the same PC P3D is installed on i still get "FMC TIMEOUT".

Could anyone suggest what I could do to try and get aviaCDU to work?

Many thanks.

Chewy

Just to add a bit more detail.

I've selected "check compatibility of my addons" and aviaserver has "found" my P3D and PMDG 777.

I have aviaServer running, with the icon appearing on the system tray(PC), before I start P3D and I also wait for the PMDG 777 initialisation to completely before selecting the CDU. However aviaCDU still indicates "waiting to connect".

So is my issue P3D not communicating with aviaServer/CDU or is aviaServer/CDU not broadcasting the correct info? (or both?)

Thanks everyone for your help.

Apologies all for the trouble.

Self resolved! I had missed the little "'gem" in the aviaServer manual about installing "FSX-SP2-XPACK SimConnect". After installing that aviaCDU works perfectly!
