How to repair simconnect

Post by crippy »

Hi all, I've been getting the error "Flight simulator x simconnect error....restarting simconnect" at the top of the screen every now and again.

I am using P3Dv4

I'm not very similar to simconnect, can someone point me in the right direction of how to repair the simconnect?

Thank you!

Note that you may get Simconnect errors if you load from saved flights with A2A aircraft. They may also occur if you reset flights and reload the aircraft without first ending the flight.

You can also try to reinstall Simconnect as provided with P3D in the following directory (Exact path will vary):

\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D vx\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib
Flight Simmer since 1983. PP ASEL IR Tailwheel
N28021 1979 Super Viking 17-30A

Thank you both!

DVM, is that simconnect only for FSPassengers, or would that download work for Simconnect as a whole (Again, not similar with Simconnect)

Oracle427, That seems to be exactly what happens with some aircraft. I load a saved Non-default flight that uses an A2A plane. Some are fine, but for example in the constellation, the mixture levers, carb heat levers etc, no longer make any noise. This happened a while ago with the Comanche, and 182. I reinstalled the sim entire, and it went away. I will look in that directory you provided and try to find and run the Simconnect re-installer.

Thank you both! I'll update soon!
