• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi all,

First, I made black box in DLL Module for FSX and P3D with SimConnect and Socket (WinSock2) without WSA.
It works generally. I don't know if WSA is required for better or not.

Now, I decide to make EXE program for FSX and P3D, I updated C++ program to compile EXE.
It works only on the PC networked to PC with Simulator.

But, it doesn't work in the same PC with simulator and EXE module black box with socket.
my program can't connect Simulator because of conflict with socket...

I tried to use WSA with functions :
- WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsaData);
- WSACleanup();
With WSA, SimConnect couldn't connect simulator.

I think, there is problem between socket and SimConnect

If you have any soluce or any idea, can you post your help? Thank you!

Chris.
 
I don't understand your problem. Are you running two different EXE's on two different computers? Is your EXE using sockets to communicate with your other EXE?

Can you draw a diagram for us?
