I've updated to Win 10 pro, reinstalled FSX, updates and X pack. I'm getting intermittent exception handler failures during online flights. The details of the failure calls out Simconnect. When I looked for Simconnect on the hardrive, I found three Xpack Version 10.0.61637.0 Sp1 Version 10.0.61355.0 FSX version 10.0.60905 Is there a conflict having all three? Could this be causing the problem? here's the details ************** Exception Text ************** System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC000014B): Exception from HRESULT: 0xC000014B at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo) at Microsoft.FlightS…

Hey guys, I'm currently working on my B738 home made cockpit based on the PMDG 737 NGX I already have a lot of controls working, but i'm currently stuck with the gear. It's frustrating due the lack of documentation but playing a bit with values I managed to make the gear move to the UP position SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent(hSimConnect, 0, EVENT_GEAR_LEVER,-1, SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY); and hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect, EVENT_GEAR_LEVER, "#70087"); That worked, however I'm unable to make the gear to go down, tried almost any value and it only seems to work with -1 and it makes it …

Hi I am not familar with Simconnect and would like some advice. Recently I have had problems with FSX and I had to use the Avsim Guide to uninstall FSX and all associated addons, including Simconnect. I am completely unaware of what Simconnect is for, how it came to be on my PC originally and even whether it is necessary for the smooth running of FSX. I have now reinstalled FSX Gold Edition and some VFR Gen.X Photo' Scenery. I have tried to launch my HiFi Active Sky weather package and got a message that Simconnect was not on my PC and indicated that I should install it, along with SP1/SP2. My query is what is Simconnect for, should I have Simconnect installed and …

Hi, I've recently acquired a laptop, and was really looking forward to getting my rig networked nicely for fsx...turned out I'm having a real bad time of it lol. I've been looking at all kinds of guides, youtube tutorials for 2 days now but still cant get anything working :( From what I can tell, I've got the network running (all drives mapped and visible on both PC and Laptop)..Downloaded and installed the SDK and all Service packs on both devices. Configured the SImConnect.cfg and Simconnect.ini on both devices Disabled Firewalls and AV's but when I try the test with AI located in the samples file, a command box pops up then disappears. Is there anything…

Hi, When I use SmConnect_CameraSetRelative6DOF function, I can change the camera position. I my FSX display, I have 3 views (one for the left, one for the front and one for the right).The mentionned simConnect function only acts on the front view. Does somebody know how to move camera of another view (using this function or another) ? Thank you ! Paul-Henri

I am trying to get ActiveSky Next working with FSX Steam Edition. (SE) I think I have the correct version installed on the Client. However I am using Windows 8.1 Pro. The SimConnect and ASN documentation refers to copying the SimConnect.cfg file (once configured with IP address etc) to the MyDocuments folder, however Windows 8.1 Pro uses a Documents folder to where I copied it. ASN has passed all of the tests in terms of mapping to the FSX and Flight Simulator X Files folders. Currently when I lauch FSX on the server, and ASN on the client, ASN sits there and says waiting to connect. I may need to enalble logging. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I'm new to simconnect programming. I would like to press a joystick button and have my app detect that event so it can then act accordingly. How do I set up my code to detect when I've pressed one of my joystick buttons? Thanks for any help...

...could that be due to a multiple simconnect install? When I run the EZCA config file, it tells me that there are at least 2 different simconnect versions on my system (FSX and P3D 2.5 are installed on the same system, but on different drives, and both are using Ezdok). How can I find out if there are multiple simconnect installs on each sim, and which one would be the correct (latest) one for either one? Thanks in advance for clarification!

Like most of you, I have a more than adequate system for FSX at high settings and frame rates. And until a month ago was happily flying Pmdg737NG all over the US in all the actual IMC ForeFlight could find. Then suddenly my right toebrake started getting twitchy and then stopped responding altogether. So I sent it back to saitek for warranty work. Since I have no rudder pedals, I visited all my addon sites to download any upgrades to keep my products current. In the mean time I bought some addons to setup and play with when I get my rudders back. The first was the Flysimware MU-2B-60 then their Conquest II 441. They both are compatable with Fligh…

... the g1000 small nav button push? Pressing it changes the blue cursor from one nav to the other. -Dave

Is that possible independent from time (day or night at the airport) for FSX ? Thanks.

Hi I'm having massive problems in trying to get simconnect to work on my client and server pc's I have been through everything that should be installed and checked all spelling punctuation etc and as far as I can see all is ok As far as I can tell My sharing and windows firewalls are ok,as I can change and save files on the server pc while using the client pc but when I try to run the AI Traffic on the client pc to test the connection it starts and stops immediately I was having a look at the folder ownership of the fsx files in the C:\users\myname\appdata\roaming\microsoft\fsx and this shows that the SYSTEM is the owner while as far as I can see most others required …

Hi guys, I want to network ASN (client, 2nd pc) with FSX (server, 1st pc). I found out this usefull "how to", officialy released from HiFi Technologies, but it's for ASA(E): http://support.hifitechinc.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/6/3/networked-configuration-with-simconnect Do you think that ASN works with this configuration? I think so, but not tried again.

Today I installed ASN SP1, and my networked configuration no longer worked. Obviously I thought that ASN had screwed things up, but I no longer think this is the case. I ran the AI_Traffic.exe over my network, as a diagnostic, and it didn't work. My networked configuration has worked for years, but today, I just couldn't get the two computers to talk with Simconnect. Eventually I tracked the problem down to the use of the FSX Server computer name inside the Simconnect.ini on the client side. The Simconnect Client suddenly stopped being able to finally resolve the name of the network computer down to it's network IP address. For years, my Simconnect.cfg (on the Ac…

First off, I am now running FSX SE. Due to some problem which now escapes my memory (not difficult to do nowadays), I DID run all of the SimConnects located in the SE SDK area (Legacy Interrface) and I do remember that it fixed my problem. And everything seems to be working just fine. However - I am getting ready now to start using FSUIPC exclusively to run my X-55 controllers, and in the process, I have stumbled across LINDA. Since I am borderline ADHD, I immediately veered off in that direction, and started reading all about LINDA. Stay with me here - the LINDA manual suggests editing my Standard.xml file to remove the controllers easily, instead of going into FSX …

Hi to all, I have a very annoying simconnect problem. I'm running 4 different add-ons in a networked insatllation of FSX via simconnect. On Laptop 1 I have ASNext and Avila Soft EFB running and on the other I use Super Traffic Board STB and FSMap. The simconnection for all add-ons is established without any problems, they all use different ports, but for some reason only ASANext works without problems, the 3 other add-ons coontinuously disconnect (and in the case of EFB reconnect again) during a flight. I guess the reason for this is a simconnect overload because all 4 add-ons access simconnect on the server at the same time. Is there a way to circumvent this problem…

When I go to the add/remove programs, I only see two Microsoft SimConnect, shouldnt I have 3 of them? I ran both MSI files in the lib folder and Legacy. I ran it twice but everywhere I look they say you should have 3. Any help? Have the following versions..... v10.0.60905.0 v10.0.61242.0

Hi I had the smconnect system running perfectly with addons running on client pc connecting to sim pc. I just did a fresh isntall of fsx steam on sim machine. I also installed the legacy skd file that came with fsx steam. The client machine has not been changed and things are not connecting. Can some one let me know what needs to be done to re instate the connection I had as I'm sure others are having the sam issue. I have posed this topic twice on the Steam fsx forum but I guess there is not the depth of knowledge I need. thx Lee

Hi, I am using FSX for many years now, but suddently 3 days ago, when I started FSX on my Win 7 64 system, I get the possibility to use any aircraft and so on, when I would like to go in the game, I get a message that FSX crashed, because FSX needs smartassembly. I now that there is something with my simconnect. I use UT 2, PMDG, ASN, PFE, and many addon scenery with GSX. After a while, someone in the net told me, to put in the FSX DVD 1 to use the repairprogramm. I did this and then nothing works in FSX. Then I installed the SP 1 and SP 2, SDK with SP 1a and SP 2. and yesterday the FSX works. But today I get the same message when I go in the FSX world, that there is smar…

Although really inexperienced I have had simconnect working but for some reason it failed. I have followed all the reinstall procedures and now want to make sure after, that hard work, that I get it right when I enter the inputs for the client and the server PC. Can someone tell me the xml file created on the sever which with the client sim cfg. ~ sets the connect to FSX. I add any programmes like rex or sky do I add their xml details to the existing initial xm document l or do I replace the initial set up notepad document. Or instead do I have a list underneath the original simconnect xml ie., one for every programme to connected to the fsx server. Mant thanks for any…

Guys I have just done a fresh install of FSX and I thought all was going well but I've installed FSX SDK SP1a and then 2 and I'm getting 'Simconnect Can't init error' on starting FSX. I notice that SP1a refuses to install anywhere except Programfiles x86 folder, even when I direct it elsewhere. Yet in control panel the SP2 seems to be installed on a different drive in my new FSX folder. However, there is no option in the installation to change the directory of the SP2 installation. Also in winsxs there are files from 2012 (which may have been the first time i installed the sdk on my computer) AND from the latest installation. But I can't delete the old ones because of th…

Hi, I have recently purchased Active Sky Next and PMDG777. I have never be able to get the weather radar working, so thought I would see if my Simconnect is working ok..eg, does it connect between ASN and FSX and the PMDG 777 radar. Is there a way to see if this is working ok? what tell's me, "yep, it works ok"? I do know that the weather reports are downloaded to the FSX FMC ok from ASN. I have FSX. No network(one machine) I use win 7 64 bit With the latest registered version of FSUIPC, it fires up when FSX starts, it's log mentions SimConnect_Open succeeded:waiting to check version okay Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 oct07 Running in Mic..Fl..Sim.. X ve…

Hello, I want to use IVAO on my simulator but "teamSpeak" software uses a keyboard key press to emulate the Push To Talk (PTT). My PTT is on a remote board connected to the PC through Ethernet. I can write software to interface with simConnect, but I Wonder if it is possible to simulate a "Key X press" event inside simConnect when my PTT is pressed... Can someone help ? Best regards.

Hi,I have be scouring the web for over an hour and never in my life seen so much confusion on the subject of installing the necessary dll's for a client pc needing the simconnect client installation. For the life of me I cannot figure out what I need. I have notes on where the xml and ini files go etc, but where do I find the necessary simconnect client install for use with sp2? I used to havethe file but it's gone now. Can anyone shed some light on this. There is supposed to me a simconnect.msi file on the disk, but even with that there is supposed to be an sp2 update or something.ThanksBob

Hey all, I have a very very irritating and frustrating problem! It has been the 5th time since my FSUIPC has disappeared from fsx in-flight. I am using Wins8 and its very crucial for me to have fsuipc as Windows 8 users have the joystick problem! FSUIPC disappeared in the sense that it disappears from the Addons box. When FSUIPC disappeared, suddenly all the external addons which are connected to fsx hang(ACARS, FSrealtime, FSC etc). Please PLEASE PLEASE help! I have to fix this ASAP!
