I didn't see anything in the manual about connecting with a remote computer. It does look like vPilot uses SimConnect. Can I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume that I connect via remote as long as SimConnect is working on the remote computer?

A mile of highway can take you a mile, a mile of runway can take you anywhere.

Just drop the SimConnect.cfg (the one you use for stuff like ActiveSky etc etc) file into the route directory of vPilot & it works first time.

Another question. FSInn needed to be installed on both remote and flight sim computers. Is that the case with vPilot? Or can I just install on remote computer?

Remote computer only.

 

However, any models for model matching will need to be installed on your primary PC.

Hey, I am trying to do the same. I cant locate simconnet.cfg... I can only find a dll file that is related to simconnect.

Hello,

 

The .cfg file should be around this directory:

C:\Users\Bar\Docomeents

Read the last FAQ here viewtopic.php?f=132&t=64672 and the Docomeentation.... There is currently a known issue using the Saitek X52 yoke. If you have that yoke, read this: viewtopic.php?f=132&t=64680 It works fine on the Saitek ProFlight Yoke, though.

Do the models also need to be installed on the client PC as well?

 

Thanks in advance

I have noticed it works even without Simconnect.cfg being dropped in the route directory of vPilot.I have run it first time as indicated (with simconnect.cfg in the route folder) but then I have also checked without it and it doesn't make any difference.

Am I missing something ?

Ezio, do you also have a SimConnect.cfg file in your My Docomeents directory? SimConnect looks there as well.
