Hello Kaare,

I guess the first thing to check would be that the SimConnect client is installed. I've borrowed the image below from from forum member "Poppet", but this is what you should be doing to install SimConnect...

Thanks,
Nick

P.S. Did you use the proper P3Dv4 installer from A2A when you installed the product?

Kaare,

I understand, but even with a P3Dv4 installation, it's necessary to install this 'legacy' FSX-SP2-XPACK version of SimConnect if you don't already have it on your system. Without it, the A2A products won't be able communicate with P3D properly.

Thanks,
Nick

SimConnect should be shown as installed in the add/remove programs dialog in Windows. When you load the C172, are you still getting the same problem you originally described?

Hallo! I dont think I have innstalled SimConnect correct. When I come to manage and press it comes up: Microsoft Flight Simulator.Sim Connect.dll. When I press lib it coms up:managed,SimConnect.lib and SimConnect.msi. When I press Simconnect .msi it looks as a short installation.

OK - if you double-clicked the SimConnect.msi file shown above you should be good Kaare: the short installation is normal. Can you open P3D and load the C172 and check if the original problem is still happening?

Thanks,
Nick

Hello Kaare,

As mentioned above, you can check your Windows list of installed programs for the SimConnect entry.

However, it's probably best to check it's working properly by testing some of the A2A features in P3D itself.

I suggest you start P3D, load a default aircraft in the sim and then switch to the A2A Cessna via the "Vehicle" menu. Once you've done this, use shift + 7 to open the maintenance hangar and let us know what you see. Lots of red (failed) items which can't be fixed by left-clicking indicate a SimConnect problem.

However, if all seems OK in the hangar, we can look for a different cause for your problem. (Possibly a DX9 issue or something.)

Thanks,
Nick
