Christian Jose Cedergren 0 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hello, everytime i try to start vPilot, it won't connect with MSFS2020. I am using FSUIPC and SPAD.next, therfore simconnect should not be a issue. (See attachment) I tried: - To read the FAQ - With both vPilot version 2.6.5 and 2.6.6. - Reinstalling with and without admin mode - Started both simulator and vPilot with and without admin mode. What i think could be the reason: - Installed MSFS2020 on a seperate SSD - Ran vPilot previously on a network with P3D Anyone who might have a idea? Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Carlson 156 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Installing the sim on a separate drive is no problem, many people (including myself) do that without issue. Something is preventing the SimConnect connection from succeeding. Have you ever customized the simconnect configuration on your system by creating SimConnect.xml or SimConnect.cfg files? 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to post Share on other sites
Christian Jose Cedergren 0 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Might be! But it was a few years ago. I think that was accordance with running Active Sky on a server computer. But i can't remember what files i manipulated. Probably SimConnect.xml and SimConnect.cfg. Do you know where these files are located? And if there is a way to revert them to their original state? Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Carlson 156 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 SimConnect.xml is used on the server (the machine running the simulator) and it is normally located in the appdata folder for the sim, I believe. Not sure if that's still the case with MSFS. SimConnect.cfg is used on the client (the machine running the app that you want to connect to the simulator, such as ActiveSky.) It is located either in the same folder as the client application's exe file, or in My Documents. To revert to default settings, the files can be deleted. 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to post Share on other sites
Solution Christian Jose Cedergren 0 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Yey! I deleted every SimConnect.xml files i found on my computer (also those from P3d), reinstalled vPilot, and now its working! Don't know which file that caused the interference, but it worked. Thank you 🙂 Edited September 8, 2020 by Christian Jose Cedergren Link to post Share on other sites
