I have a fresh installation of FSX and Acceleration. I was getting "Can't Init SimConnect Error!" on startup, followed by Fatal Error. After much repairing and reinstalling of FSX/Acc/W7-64, that message has gone but nothing that uses SimConnect shows up. A SimConnect test says "Connection to Flight Simulatot via SP2 SimConnect FAILED. Seek assistance in repairing FSX Win SxS subsystem." This is way out of my expertise so I'm hoping an answer may be found here. edit: I've also discovered that I have two Simconnect .dll 124733 and 185120. Should there be three? Rob.

If you can get the charts, and know how to read them, you can use the free Plan-G flight planner. Load your FSX flight plan, input the SID/STAR waypoints, and follow the line on the map display. Altitude constraints you have to sort out yourself from the charts. (Note that a new version of Plan-G is imminent.) http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/ Rob.
