It might be helpful in your case to enable Verbose and log the output and then check the output after you attempt to connect. The SimConnect.ini is really only used for logging, it doesn't 'configure' connections. Where does the local host scope address come from? Before I was only adding my server (p3d) pc's ip address for global. You talk about the two ip addresses to edit in the xml, global and scope. Does V4.1 put it somewhere else?Īnother question I have is on page 121 with the xml file. I dont see the simconnect.ini file in my documents.

I just fresh installed V4.1 and loaded all of the service packs that come with V4. So im reading through your guide, on page 117 youre showing simconnect.INI file in your documents/P3DFiles. Thank you, that made the router setup easy.

And also check the various SimConnect files and make sure you are setting the IP for the 'server' computer (PC running P3D) in those files (all of them, it's always the IP address of the server NOT the client). I cant pay much but Id be willing to paypal a few dollars if need be.Īlso check pages 127 - 131 in my guide, I go over troubleshooting and setting up DHCP reservations in your router so that each device that uses DHCP will always get the same local (none public) IP (associates the device name to IP and keeps that association for as long as you don't hard reset the router). Id be grateful if someone could help me out here or if someone wanted to connect to my machine and try to help. I have done everything I can think of to the best of my understanding of how this is supposed to work and all I get when I open Active Sky on client pc is 'initializing' 'waiting for simulator' and I cant click on any of the options tab. Does it need to be a folder labeled Prepar3D v4 Files since thats how its listed when P3D creates folders in my documents? Or is simply putting the cfg file in my documents on client machine enough? I understand a simconnect.cfg needs to be in my documents folder of client PC. SimConnect XML and CFG, I have edited and put in my server PCs ip addressĭo I need to install the Prepar3d SDK on either machine or get any files out of it?ĭo I need to install ActiveSky Connect on the client machine?

So, Ive got two Windows 10 machines, both freshly formatted and updated. The guides on HiFis help section were written when folks had windows 7 and FSX, talk of FSX files and service packs just add to the confusion. I cant find any recent how to guides and HiFi doesnt seem to be interested in network support. Ive been pulling hair out for most of the week trying to get this to work and its about to drive me mad.
