• 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 there,

i've tried many different things to get the SDK SP1A samples ("Open and Close") to work. But allways i become "cannot connect to fsx" (or something similar). I've tried to disable firewall, antivirus & etc. but is all the same. All programs are clean installed, other addons run well (like IVAP, FSUIPC and so on) and connect to SimConnect (SimConnectDebugConsole says so).

Iam using Vista Home Premium x64 with VC# & VC++ Express. I can compile
all of the samples but they wont connect where is the problem ?


Thanks

Steffen
 
Is it managed code or c++?

Did you tried the samples found in this forum? I believe that they are projects.

Hope this is helpful, it's from the SDK.

Setting x86 Platform Configuration

This section only applies to developers working with on a 64 bit operating system (Microsoft ® Windows Vista ®). If you are using Microsoft ® Visual Studio 2005 or later, open up your SimConnect client project and start from step 4. If you are using Microsoft ® Visual C++ or C# 2005 Express Edition, start from step 1.

1 Select the Tools/Options menu item.
2 Check “Show all settings”.
3 Check “Project and Solutions->Show Advanced Build Configurations”.
4 Open Build->Configuration Manager.
5 Select the combo box under the “Platform” column for the project you want to target.
6 Choose “NEW…”
7 Under “New Platform” select x86.
8 Click OK, then Close. Note that the Toolbar combo box for Platform Configuration has x86 selected.
Building will now be restricted to x86-only binaries.
 
@Mikrco : Thanks, I have already done so.
Just in this moment iam reinstalling FSX & SDK, because i have seen after deinstalling SDK SP1A & SimConnect - and installing the old SimConnect - that FSX is still using the new Simconnect (from SP1A). Perhaps there is a Library problem !?

After reinstalling FSX & SDK/Simconnect (not SP1A) it works. Trying now
to install SP1A & new SimConnect.
