Joseph Lockett Jr 1199980 Posted January 13, 2016 at 08:54 AM Posted January 13, 2016 at 08:54 AM I have read the manual what provide for the software at least ten times, thinking I miss something important as I have the Traffic Proxy on the FSX machine, while the CLIENT keeps repeating "Attempting simulator connection..." "Simulator connection failed." Despite having both the same software and update on both computers. ( 1.1.5851.23849) I can connect perfectly on the FSX, but not the CLIENT. I have SimConnect on the CLIENT and updated to the requirement it provides, and trying to share files as well. I'm interested an anything us other than using vPilot for the first time since using FSInn for four years. So far nothing to seems to work, Request [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance when able. Thanks in advance, Happy Flying. Enjoy the Virtual Skies - Joseph Lockett Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquin Blanco Posted January 13, 2016 at 01:47 PM Posted January 13, 2016 at 01:47 PM On the server make sure that you run the proxy executable, if my memory doesn't fail me I think it's called trafficproxy or something like that.

Ross Carlson Posted January 13, 2016 at 02:22 PM Posted January 13, 2016 at 02:22 PM Sounds like you don't have your SimConnect network configuration files set up right. Can you paste them here? (The SimConnect.xml on the server, and SimConnect.cfg on the client.)

Joseph Lockett Jr 1199980 Posted January 16, 2016 at 03:24 AM Author Posted January 16, 2016 at 03:24 AM Give me a second, I found the SimConnect.ini in the FSX files in Docomeent. I'm a noob when it comes to this... Enjoy the Virtual Skies - Joseph Lockett Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted January 16, 2016 at 03:43 AM Posted January 16, 2016 at 03:43 AM Looks like you've posted the xml file, not the cfg file. (The ini file is not needed for connecting a remote machine.) In your XML file, you need to change "myserveraddress" to the actual IP address of the FSX machine. Go ahead and paste the cfg file from the remote machine.

Joseph Lockett Jr 1199980 Posted January 16, 2016 at 04:02 AM Author Posted January 16, 2016 at 04:02 AM [simConnect] Protocol=IPv4 Address=myserveraddress Port=500 MaxReceiveSize=4096 DisableNagle=0 this is the .cfg file from the laptop. I have tried using a "Shared" method and couldn't understand its complexity. Enjoy the Virtual Skies - Joseph Lockett Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted January 16, 2016 at 04:10 AM Posted January 16, 2016 at 04:10 AM Change "myserveraddress" to the IP address of the FSX computer in both files, and you should be good to go.

Joseph Lockett Jr 1199980 Posted January 16, 2016 at 04:49 AM Author Posted January 16, 2016 at 04:49 AM Okay, giving it a try, thanks Enjoy the Virtual Skies - Joseph Lockett Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Lockett Jr 1199980 Posted January 16, 2016 at 05:54 AM Author Posted January 16, 2016 at 05:54 AM I did exactly as you requested, it doesn't work. I change the IP address as the Traffic Proxy was failing as bad as the the one on my Laptop. Is there a guide or something that deals with Simconnect installation?

Ross Carlson Posted January 16, 2016 at 05:57 AM Posted January 16, 2016 at 05:57 AM Yeah, there are tutorials out there. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Reiter Posted January 17, 2016 at 05:06 PM Posted January 17, 2016 at 05:06 PM I wrote a tutorial on setting up SimConnect on a remote computer on the BVA forums.

Ross Carlson Posted January 17, 2016 at 06:35 PM Posted January 17, 2016 at 06:35 PM Thanks for posting that link, Evan. Joseph, note that if you do follow the tutorial Evan linked to, you can skip the part about sharing folders on the sim machine. That is not necessary for vPilot to connect via SimConnect.
