MS FSX | FSX=SE | P3D Simconnect Forum

I am using a couple of programs via SimConnect - ASA from a networked laptop, and Plan-G on the same computer as FSX. Both programs work fine with no known problems. However, I have tried installing VoxATC on the same computer as FSX, it installs OK but when I try to start the program by pressing 'Enable' I get a message Fatal Error. The fault log says "Unable to load DLL 'SimCon': The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B3)".Talking with one of the tech guys for VoxATC he says there may be a faulty simconnect file as this is not caused by VoxATC. I tend to agree with him as I haven't seen another post with the same …

Yesterday i was able to fly a Harrier with the VTOL gauge working, hovering just fine. Today i started FSX up and i can no longer hover. Infact FSUIPC does not work any longer. I do not have it showing in my FSX bar either under addons.It's like it has just decided to mess itself it up with no reason.I shut down FSX like i usually do, shut down the computer and this happens out of the blue.FSUIPC will not connect to "SimConnect" as it tells me SimConnect is not installed properly.I keep getting this error:Found SimConnect build 61259 (Acc/SP2 Oct07), but this is not correctly installed!... Probe Manifest fails to match a valid SimConnect needed to use FSUIPC4!I have go…

I have been using SimConnect to communicate with GMap and Super Traffic Board v2.3 on a client machine without any problems.Suddenly, however, I now have a problem. If I close FSX, and then restart it, the applications on my client machine no longer are able to communicate with FSX. The plane in GMap stays in its default location and STB sees no traffic. My research indicates that this may mean that my SimConnect ports are locked / blocked and this doesn't allow the applications noted above to reconnect to FSX once FSX has restarted. I can, however, reboot the FSX machine (and not the client machine) and these applications connect right back up.I have no idea why it does …

Hello.has anyone the experience with FSX traffic distance limitation? It is set to 200 kilometers (cca 124 miles) and when any aircraft exceeds this distance from the user-controlled aircraft, it is removed from the simulation.My questions are:Is there any way to extend this distance?If I create the aircraft with the flightplan where the departure location is further than 124 miles, is it completely ignored or is there still some mechanism to simulate the progress of the aircraft and create it when it should enter the area within the limited distance?Thanks for sharing any relevant information.

Hello SimConnect gurus, I'm using VS2005 and C++ to create a program and now I want to add functionality to connect to Microsoft Flight Simulator X. To do this, I want to load the required DLL (SimConnect.dll) in runtime. There is one very important requirement: the program MUST also be able to run, when the SimConnect DLL is NOT present on the PC (many existing users of my program don't have FSX). Off course, the program should report the absence (when necessary) and exit gracefully... I have read that the SimConnect DLL was setup as a side-by-side assembly; I know I must do something with it's manifest to get the program to work. I have read a whole bunch of info…

I run FSX (SP2) on a very fast, two month old Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) machine. The FSX SDK SP2 is also installed on it.I used to run ActiveSky X over my home LAN on a Compaq notebook SimConnect client which ran with Windows XP (home edition), without any problems. That notebook died just over a week ago :( . It's been replaced with a new Compaq notebook that came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit installed. On that new Compaq, I installed SimConnect as a client, in accordance with the instructions in the ASX documentation. Then I installed ASX and all service packs. But now whenever I try to load ASX, I'm getting the dreaded "Simconnect SP1 managed version …

Is there a way I can use simconnect to open the flight sim menus, as opposed to using the mouse. For example, if I want to open the world->go to airports menu, is there a command for that? I see that there is a command to open up the world->map, but I'm wondering if you can open up all the menus with a command.ThanksBob

Hey folks,just starting again on SimConnect here (I've been fiddling around with it for a few hours but it's been a break of a few years since then).Setting up a custom WX station and setting the WX there or to any of the existing stations was no problem.I also read from the SDK I can set the weather MODE to global, real-time (server driven, even some other server than the default...), or custom. Or even to some theme.Am I missing something obvious, but is there a way to actually SET the global weather? Like, set a "METAR" for the entire planet instead for a single weather station? That'd easen up things a lot for me, but I feel I am a bit stuck at the moment.Thanks for s…

I need to install simconnect on a pc that does not have FSX installed. Is it possible to get the simconnect.msi file for FSX-SP2. I have no desire to install the SDKs on the FSX machine.

Hi,Was wondering if it is possible to read XML variables as created using the registered_named_variablemacro (think you XML guys call them "L:" variables ?), can be read through simconnect. I have created a dll module and now I want it to be able to communicate with the rest of my panel/gauges!I have tried using:hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, TEST, "L:TestVariable", "number");and then hr = SimConnect_RequestDataOnSimObjectType(hSimConnect, REQUEST, TEST, 0, SIMCONNECT_SIMOBJECT_TYPE_USER);But that doesn't seem to return anything usefull. Note that standard FSX XML variables work well using this technique...Can anyone help me out here ?Thanks,Björn

Hi Dear AllI designed a Flight Simulator Engine. it can compute the location(lat , long, alt), bank, roll, pitch of my airplane. BUT it has not any graphical interface.I want to use FSX just as a graphical engine. means that I want to show an airplane by simConnect and move it where my simulator engine has been calculated. also I want to see gauges of this airplane. beside I want to see it by different view that exist in FSX .is it possible? how?thank your for your help.

I've just started writing simconnect applications and I'm wondering how I can send text to be displayed in that green background text line in FSX?

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and I need simconnect for AITT2 but I don't know how to get itin fact I hardly know what it is. Can you download it? thanks.

In Vista64, deleted FSX Simconnect folder in WINSXS dir (to downgrade Accelerator to SP2) and now whenever reinstalling FSX (Sp1 or SP2 or Accel) the folders don't appear any longer. consequence is that it's possible to use FSX as long as it doesn't look for Simconnect otherwise "Failed to load Simconnect.dll" message appears, so unable to use almost all addons...

HiHave anyone experienced connection problems between ASE and FSX on networked computers?I have some issues with ASE and FSX over my network that is abit strange.At the first startup of ASE on my client, I load a flightplan in to ASE, starts FSX on my server and everything is just fine. But if I close ASE or FSX they do not re-connect again if I restart ASE or FSXWhen I use FS9 (WideFS) no problem, so I think this problem has something to do with Simconnect SP2.I have to restart both computers to get them to re-connect over simconnect when I use ASE and FSXclient;winXP 32 SP3, ASE B566, wideFS, Simconnect SP2server;winXP 32 SP3 FSX/FS9, Wideserver, Simconnect SP2thanksRei…

Im running FSX sp2 with no problems and simconnect is communicating properly.When i uninstall sp2 before installing acceleration, will the sp2 simconnect(61259) be uninstalled with it and then reinstalled with acceleration?If not, should i delete the 61259 simconnect folder from Winsxs before installing acceleration?Thank you for reading. :( David Ranieri.

Sorry to post about another Simconnect connection error but after 3 days of searching the 'Net I'm shell shocked.I am trying to set up Simconnect so I can use Squwakbox with FSX but when I try the AI test all I get is the command prompt window open for a few seconds then it closes, no messages in the window. If I try to run Squwakbox I get "Simconnect error. You cannot connect without Flight Simulator running"I assume Simconnect is installed correctly on the FSXAcceleration PC because I can see the Simconnect 'Tools' item in the FSX menu bar.I have 2 PCs on my LAN, both with static addresses and they are connected via a Belkin router.The FSX PC has Windows firewall enable…

I hope I am in the right forum for my Question. I have written 5 missions using Cirrus Reward Creator, as well as BGLCOMP from the SDK to create my mission Rewards...now on mission 6, neither Bglcomp nor Cirrus Reward Creator will work. I did upgrade to Win7, but all else in the SDK seems to work...I have even reinstalled Win7 and Net Fremework 2.0, but nothing seems to help...when I launch CRC, I get: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" .Can anyone offer any help or advice?Jake

Hello guys,Does anyone know how to make a VB.NET program fetch data from FSX/FS9 via the simconnect or fsuipc module?And also display the data in the application.. :) - Emil

hey,i got really mad at fsx :( because i had to do a reinstall for something else, but now the simconnect wont reinstall, except the 61637 one, and i have sp1 and sp2 installed, so no acceleration. Can i just open notepad and copy something into there and make a new folder in the winsxs folder (i have admin rights) with the name for the simconnect and will it work? because i really want to get the level-d to work..thanks!Reinier

HelloI have a simple request...I need a small favour, atm i am building a script but now i need to know what the thing is to let it know my plane has landed at its destination.I cant seem to figure this out by myself.I know about managed data request but this doesnt seem todo the job automaticly.Example:Departure point: EGLLArrival Point: EGCCSo what i need to know is, when i press a button to start my flight with a simconnect api it needs to see automaticly when i have landed at my destination airport and popup a msgbox saying you have made it safely.Thanks in advance.

Hi i have a question Im trying to built a cockpit (using MS flight X deluxe edition). I would like to run the GPS panel on another pc in my network, is it possible? Can I use simConnect? And how do I do it?

I have just purchased FSX Deluxe. Its very good. Ive even has a lot of fun downloading fighter Jets. Some cockpits and the controls are very good.I would like to fly on an online network, like VATSIM or VATPAC but I havent much idea how to get going. Could you point me to some help files for stupid people :)

Hi,I've been messing around with SimConnect (from within a gauge) for a few weeks now and was able to do everything I planned to do so far except for retrieving the name of the currently loaded flight. static enum EVENT{ EVENT_FLIGHT_LOADED, EVENT_FLIGHT_SAVED,};void OpenSimConnect(){ HRESULT hr; if (SUCCEEDED(SimConnect_Open(&hSimConnect, "SimCheck SimConnect", NULL, 0, 0, 0))) { hr = SimConnect_SubscribeToSystemEvent(hSimConnect, EVENT_FLIGHT_LOADED, "FlightLoaded"); hr = SimConnect_SubscribeToSystemEvent(hSimConnect, EVENT_FLIGHT_SAVED, "FlightSaved"); SimConnect_CallDispatch(hSimConnect, SCDispatchProc, NULL); }}void CALLBACK SCDispatchProc(SIMCONNEC…
