"xPilot is unable to connect to X-Plane. Please make sure X-Plane is running and a flight plan is loaded"

Prior to that I received a message "Waiting for X-Plane connection"

Help is needed please.

Things that I have checked:

x Pilot is in the root file of X Plane.

I do not have a Flight Plan entered in x Pilot.

I have tried starting both first.

I have another copy of X Plane on this computer but no x Pilot in that one.

Hi Arthur, I moved this to the xPilot section as that is more appropriate. 🙂

 

When you say you started both first, did you spawn in at a gate in X-plane? You should also try searching this forum for that error, as there might be others with the same problem here.

Hope all works out for you!

I read that doc and it didn't seem to help.

I started at a gate.

 I started one software and then the other.

You suggested in one of your post to insure that the radio button on the Network Tab be set to receive incoming traffic.

There is no radio button at the bottom at the page.

In the X-Plane settings, not xPilot settings.

Bottom of X Plane/Network has Reset Networking Configuration on left side and Done on right side?

Ah, I guess that option is only in 11.50. Did you verify that X-Plane is allowed through your firewall?

Edit: Also, does the UDP ports in my screenshot match your UDP ports?

It was a firewall problem. Working now.

Thanks
