hi there, thanks for coming back to me so quickly - i have the exact doc in pdf and have followed it to the T - so far, i feer there is some ambiguity, as it talks about copying simconnect after sp1a to the client pc, but where do the files then go?also, i come across this section after installing SDK...ApplicationDataFolder]MicrosoftFSXSimConnect.xml[MyDocumentsFolder]Flight Simulator X FilesSimConnect.inibut, the highlighted part is the one i cant seem to find, even after an install, simconnect.ini is not in the folder where the above link suggests.Any ideas?Perhaps this is the reason why its not working?Ive followed all the steps with sharing ALL folders, thats all fine, and showing in the network.Install of ASE2012 on client pc and all folders are located, when starting up ase2012, it connects via simmconnect etc...but fsx: disconnected never changes...is there supposed to be any simconnect modules inside fsx folders to find the program?thats where im confused?Also, not tested the AI from the simconnect, i dont think it would work, as the data i have on the xml prob isnt right.if you have this set up or it works for you, let me know how you got this to work eg do i use the ip address thats for one pc in all simconnect.xml's or change the values to each corresponding pc - eg Client PC simconnect.xml - do i have the client IP address in this doc or the clients ...and vice a ver sad

Hi everyone,As we all know, the new and very sexy ASE2012 is out, and if it's not a hot-topic now, it probably will be.I'd like to start up an open discussion to find out how and what is the best way to configure ASE2012 over a network? The ASE2012 document / guide i feel is ambiguous - and doesnt clearly highlight what and where we need to do, or what todo step by step... eg, install SP1a and SP2 for SDK..etc...which im reading this can cause CTD's later on in flight? Also, the simconnect.xml can be located, but the simconnect.ini cant be located, so wondering does this come from SDK installs or from FSUIPC?When installing ASE2012, how do we get this to interract with the PC with FSX on it? EG: How do we find the domain IP so we can write this in to the simconnect. xml if im right?More questions around process and what the steps are to getting ASE to talk to FSX...so far, my attempts are not showing anything other than FSX: Disconnected....etc...Any help would be greatfully appreciated.Darryl

Hi everyone, I have some questions around SDK and ASE2012.1) To install ActiveSKY2012 and have this running over a network, the documentation is saying to install FSX Deluxe with SDK. After installing SDK, do i need next to bring FSX up to date to the correct version number>?EG: SP1A and thats it? SP1A and normal SP2 for FSX, or perhaps, SDK SP2 ...etc...not sure what one I need, after installing SDK SP2, it deletes certain GMAX files from SP1A...and i have read on forums some people are using SP1A and then normal FSX SP2 which could cause issues, when crashing to desktop (CTD) ... whats with the SDK SP2...is this really required?2) Does anyone know how to install and run ASE2012 on a networked connection?When reading the document, I have no idea what the simconnect.xml files should be reading, by way of IP coz I dont even know how to find my IP for my pc? I am running FSX google earth track, where it's set up over IPv4 and my PC name is in the address or host name field and using port 9017, which seems to be working ok, and then i read that ASE2012 needs to use port 500, but in the simconnect doc.xml it only has one entry for the 9017 port, so where do i put the other entry?3) I have found the simconnect.xml but i cant find the simconnect.ini file, and where it should be, it's not, so any ideas guys? Any help would be hugely appreciated....coz right now, im confused.comCheers,Darryl
