Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 23, 2017 at 06:36 PM Posted November 23, 2017 at 06:36 PM So, I have been off Vatsim for a few months and now I reaaallyyy want to get back to it. I just finished reinstalling FSX (yes I still use FSX) after my computer somehow deleted a few files from FSX. I have been refreshing my memory with procedures etc for a while now and I feel ready to go into Vatsim and start. However when I am trying to connect using vPilot it just gives me the error message "vPilot is unable to connect to the simulator. Please ensure that FSX/P3D is running and a flight is loaded". I have searched all over google but it seems like im the only one experiencing this issue. What should I do to make this work? /Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted November 23, 2017 at 09:21 PM Posted November 23, 2017 at 09:21 PM Is FSX loaded and are you loaded into the sim (not on the loading screen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Blackburn Posted November 23, 2017 at 11:19 PM Posted November 23, 2017 at 11:19 PM Did you reinstall vPilot? More importantly since you reinstalled FSX have you also done the same for SimConnect? Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 24, 2017 at 12:48 PM Author Posted November 24, 2017 at 12:48 PM I reinstalled vPilot yes. Where can I find simconnect? Is it my FSX files or vpilot files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 24, 2017 at 12:59 PM Author Posted November 24, 2017 at 12:59 PM I found Simconnect and installed it, however its still not recognizing my FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted November 24, 2017 at 01:25 PM Board of Governors Posted November 24, 2017 at 01:25 PM Curious, which version of SimConnect did you install? Just want to make sure it was the version of SimConnect that is required by the software, as specified in the docomeentation.

Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 24, 2017 at 01:45 PM Author Posted November 24, 2017 at 01:45 PM I took the first I found, from fsp[Mod - Happy Thoughts]engers.com. http://www.fsp[Mod - Happy Thoughts]engers.com/?action=simconnect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Grafelman Posted November 24, 2017 at 02:07 PM Posted November 24, 2017 at 02:07 PM That could perhaps be the problem, since the version of SimConnect from that link is not the version vPilot requires. Try this version (10.0.61259.0) instead: http://vpilot.metacraft.com/[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ets/Files/SimConnect.msi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 24, 2017 at 04:26 PM Author Posted November 24, 2017 at 04:26 PM Still not working . Once FSX is booted up to main menu vpilot saids Simconnect error: version_mismatch 5 and it saids that like 10 times on the same time. It then stops and I load onto gate, I try to connect and it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 24, 2017 at 05:26 PM Author Posted November 24, 2017 at 05:26 PM I fixed the version mismatch issue by removing SP2 but it still won't connect to Vatsim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted November 24, 2017 at 05:47 PM Board of Governors Posted November 24, 2017 at 05:47 PM If you uninstalled SP2, I'm not at all surprised vPilot won't work correctly; SP2 and/or Acceleration are one of the system requirements for vPilot. I'm confused why you're having troubles. Did you ensure your system meets the system requirements, install SimConnect and .NET framework per the Docomeentation. If not, or if you're not sure, try installing per the docomeentation and let us know how that goes.

Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 24, 2017 at 05:56 PM Author Posted November 24, 2017 at 05:56 PM Now when I try to reinstall SP2 it gives me the error message "To install SP2 you need to have Microsoft Flight Simulator English version". My game is on English and there is no option to choose Swedish version. Wow I did not thought it would be so much issue with this urghhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 24, 2017 at 08:41 PM Author Posted November 24, 2017 at 08:41 PM I completely reinstalled FSX, vPilot and simconnect, but it won't work. I watched a youtube video on how to fix it but that showed me that I should go into SDK folder, which I do not have. This is going on my nervs sooo bad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Martinsson 1365065 Posted November 25, 2017 at 10:40 PM Author Posted November 25, 2017 at 10:40 PM Is there any kind soul out there that is willing to send me the FSX files? I have lost my discs but I still have the activation code written down. I believe that the source I download from (my old computer) is missing files. For example the SDK folder is completely gone. I don't have money to get p3d or xplane atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Blackburn Posted November 26, 2017 at 03:55 PM Posted November 26, 2017 at 03:55 PM Sorry Joel, no can do. Even if you are being 100% honest we cant use the forum that way. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
