Trying to install SDK from the #1 DVD of the FSX deluxe package. There is no trouble accessing the DVD's folders via Win ExplorerHowever when I execute the SDK's Setup file, the DVD drive begin a seemingly endless (2 min+) chattering. Presumeably this isbecause in is accessing or trying to access the DVD's data. Because I was concerned for the welfare of my DVD drives I aborted theinstallation. I have two store bought FSX Deluxe DVD sets and two DVD drives in my PC and I've tried different combinations andget the same DVD Drive continuous chatter. Is this lengthy DVD chatter normal during start of the SDK installation?Many thanks,Ken

Hi-I recently lost my FSsupport Laptop and decided to use my old FS computer instead. Bought another monitor and all went well until Simconnect. I do have it working but having some issues. So far ALL I HAVE INSTALLED is what comes on the GOLD version of FSX- on BOTH machines. If I update BOTH the FSServer and FSLaptop computer with the FSX SDK SP1A as found at http://www.microsoft...ang=en&id=10027 will I then have the latest and the SAME version on BOTH machines. Will this suffice BEFORE installing SDK SP2 as I cannot seem to find the link for SDK1? BTW where is the link for THAT? Arrrrrggggggggggggh!Any particularly important tips before I take the plunge. It …

The program FSDiscover from Flight1 provides FSX with small textlabels over different POI (Points Of Interest). These points (= locations) is created via the program and saved in a simple textfile where each line has the name of location, latitude and longitude.I would like to create a program which makes FSX show text-labels from a list of small towns in my danish scenery.I guess I have to explore the FSX SDK and maybee the SimConnect part of it. But I do not know much about this and wonder if somebody could give me a hint about where to look??/Lars :)

My FSx has worked perfectly up until recently with Gamespy/multiplayer, and now when I Host a session, no one can see it to connect to it. I can see and connect to others fine, and if I start a session with my second machine, others can see that, so it is something unique to this machine.Anyone have any ideas? I am totally baffled at this point.

I have a laptop that I would like to load Active sky evoultion on. I have intstalled it, and when I tried to start it, right away it could not locate fsx. What do I do to tell it its on a network, and fsx is on another computer? I guess thats the first thing to do..

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 instal…

Anyone know how to read/write to the FSINN Transponder?I know you can access the Xponder with the Squawkbox and IVAO pilot client program using FSUIPC Offsets...But what about FSINN? Cheers,

Hello!I wrote this simple code: This example was compiled using Borland C++ Builder 2006 Turbo. It works perfectly in my main working OS (where I have IDE installed). But in the clean virtual OS (where only FSX is installed) callback function (SimConnectProcess in the code above) is not processed at all. This is obious as in the final log 'SimConnect_Open success', 'SimConnect_CallDispatch success', 'DLLStart' messages are presented, but 'SimConnectProcess success' is absent.How can I fix this?

I Googled this, but no joy..Can I download SimConnect and/or the FSX SDK package? I know it's on the FSX DVD but I am currently working abroad and my FSX DVDs are back ion the UK. Have just installed REX for FSX and I am getting errors with the weather engine and also when I exit FSX I get an Unhandled Exception error in MS .NET Framework.If not, I will be in the UK soon and can bring the DVDs back with me but would like to fix this now, if I can.Thanks,Martin

Hello,I've been trying to get both ASE and SB to work together on the same networked PC using simconnect.A couple months ago I installed ASE and got it up and working with simconnect and everything was working perfectly, until I tried to install SB.The SB installer installs Simconnect 10.0.60905.0, while I already installed 10.0.61259.0 for ASE.With both installed ASE works fine but SB won't connect to FSX.With 10.0.60905.0 only SB will run but ASE gives me an error message stating that I need SimConnect SP2 installed, and while it runs it doesn't seem to connect to FSX.With 10.0.61259.0 only SB won't connect to FSX but ASE works fine.Does anyone think it could be a confi…

Anyone know why trying to set any of the pause events for FSX (on, off, toggle) doesn't work in SimConnect? All my other events for lights, radio buttons, switches, etc. work fine. Is the pause key read only maybe? FSData.MapClientEventToSimEvent(EVENT_ID.KEY_PAUSE_ON, "PAUSE_ON"); FSData.TransmitClientEvent(1, EVENT_ID.KEY_PAUSE_ON, 0, GROUP_ID.GROUP0, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.DEFAULT);Thanks, Dirk

Hi all folks. How to access the fuel tank and change it through C++, Gauge, JAVA, and SimConnect ? I checked up inside the Simconnect SDK, It was no helpful for me because it includes just few samples. I remember that I saw the Il-62M aircraft made by some russian people; it has a in-built gauge that access directly the fuel tank and can edit it manually.

It cant be downloaded anywhere.Any help would be much appreciated.RegardsBob Ginn

Hi,Win7 - FSX Server(2) XP clientsI am using ASE on a client and have installed the simconnect.xml and simconnect.ini in the server directories noted in the ASE documentation. I use MyTraffic X on the FSX server. It does have occurences of these 2 files in multiple directories which would seem that X could be installed on a client and these files are not being used currently.I have been using ASE but I found a product called OpenClouds which does not have all the features but works very well in my opinion. I am looking at OpenClouds because of its smaller footprint. What confused me is that I uninstalled ASE on the client and installed OpenClouds, and it communicated with…

I used SimConnect to run Active Sky X on a client computer using Port 500 and I would like to configure a few other programs using SimConnect but I am unsure as to what other ports I can define for the programs to use. I tried to find the ports listed in the cmd prompt using the following:netstat

Hello guys i need your help with two things i am thinking.

I Understand that by using an FSXid with sim Connect and the simconnect add-on when a player joins the session, it will assign the player a specific FSX Id Correct? And If so how are you able to do that, There is no Sample data. Also.Would there be any way possible to access the Chatbox of a session with any SimConnect API or Any FSX API, if so is there any sample data?Much help would be appreciated

Hi, I am running FSX networked with my laptop. All was well for a very long time until recently. I noticed FSX developed a problem where it disconnects from my laptop. No error messages or notices of any kind. FSUIPC dependant addons run OK. Therefore it is safe to say the problem is once again with Simconnect. Diconnect happens when I crash for example. Still looking if other triggers exist. Is this a known issue? Thanks.
