• 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.

How to connect to the simulator from a remote computer.

Dear folks,

Could you anybody let me know how to connect to the simulator from a remote machine?

I created a file, named SimConnect.cfg as follows and saved in "My Documents:

Protocol=IPv6
Address=<my ip>
Port=1500
MaxReceiveSize=4096
DisableNagle=0

I did this according to the SimConnect documents. But the OpenAndClose example does not connect.

I really appreciate it if anybody could help.

Thanks,
 
Hey folks,

I'd also greatly appreciate some reply here for I can't get it to work either. I also had a search on other forums, tried all the hints that worked for others but they do not work here so I am quite a bit frustrated at the moment.

Thanks in advance.
 
Below are my working simconnect.cfg (client) and simconnect.xml (server).

Note the use of IPV4, not V6 as that seems to require a special IP stack (new network card driver). Also, replace the IP address with the IP of the server (DNS name didn't work for me). Also, I had to set my scope to global to avoid pesky security issues.

(simconnect.cfg in my documents on client PC)

[SimConnect]
Protocol=IPv4
Address= 1.2.3.4
Port=17200
MaxReceiveSize=4096
DisableNagle=0

(simconnect.xml file in Documents and Settings\<alias>\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX folde on the server)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">
<Descr>SimConnect</Descr>
<Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<SimConnect.Comm>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Protocol>Auto</Protocol>
<Scope>global</Scope>
<Address>1.2.3.4</Address>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Port>17200</Port>
<MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize>
<DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
</SimConnect.Comm>
</SimBase.Document>

Hope this helps.

Etienne
