I am unable to make any connection from vPilot with new V2.6.6. Using FS2020, worked perfectly well with V2.6.5. Reinstalled v 2.6.5 and confirmed, you have an isue with V2.6.6 and FS2020

Please post the exact text, or a screenshot, of the error message you see when trying to connect.  "I can't connect" is ambiguous and there are too many possible avenues for troubleshooting. 

Cheers,

Shameel, please click the details button and provide the details that it shows there.

Also, please check your vPilot folder and see if a file called SimConnect.dll is there. Please do this with a fresh install of 2.6.6. In other words, uninstall 2.6.5 first, make sure the vPilot folder is gone, then install 2.6.6 and run it. It should download SimConnect.dll from the vPilot web site. If that file is missing, you'll get the error that you posted.

Depends on what version of SimConnect that other app needs. Can't hurt to try it.
