• 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.

I had read somewhere it couldn't be done, but I have connected a remote computer to MSFS using SimConnect and it was easy, relatively speaking. Details:

There is a SimConnect.xml file in the main MSFS definition folder here: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

Insert the following into that, substituting the server IP address and port number you want to use on your server, right after the <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename> statement:

<SimConnect.Comm>
<Descr>Global IP Port</Descr>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
<Scope>global</Scope>
<Address>192.168.0.66</Address>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Port>7421</Port>
<MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize>
<DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
</SimConnect.Comm>

Then configure your client machine with a matching SimConnect.cfg in the Documents folder, like standard. I am using the FSX XPACK client SimConnect version on that machine (SimConnect_61259.msi) and it seems to work fine.

Hope this helps,

Hey!
Thanks for this! This helped me to get Simtoolkitpro working on a secondary computer with MFSF after a lot of trial and error. I have written a specific instruction for STKP on this forum and took some info from this post and linked it. Let me know if you don't think that is ok!
