Location of SimConnect.XML

[youngbar0978]

I have placed a copy of SimConnect.XML containing Ports and IP address etc in the FSX folder. I launched FSX SE, with the SimConnect logging enabled. It is not reading the information correctly from SimConnect.xml because of the possibility of it being in the wrong folder.

In FSX, it should exist in C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ESP
for Windows 7 (Vista) according to Microsoft.

For FSX / SE does anybody know which specific folder the Steam version is looking for the SimConnect.XML file in?

Thanks!

My SimConnect Log iindicates that or it appears that SimConnect is not reading the SimConnect.XML file:


0.00000 SimConnect version 10.0.62613.0

0.02370 Server: Scope=local, Protocol=Pipe, Name=\\.\pipe\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimConnect, MaxClients=64
0.02756 Server: Scope=local, Protocol=IPv6, Address=::1, Port=50119, MaxClients=64
0.03034 Server: Scope=local, Protocol=IPv4, Address=127.0.0.1, Port=50120, MaxClients=64

I have located per the readme file in the Common FSX SDK CoreUtilities Config to this folder:

C:\Users\UserNameAppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\SimConnect.xml

For Active Sky Next I am trying to configure. From their website the SimmConnect.xml settings
<!-- Example Local IPv4 Server Configuration-->

-<SimConnect.Comm>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
<Scope>local</Scope>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Address>10.0.0.7</Address>
<Port>500</Port>
</SimConnect.Comm>


ASN sees the 10.0.0.7 server on the client but according to the log above it appears it is not reading the file and setting it to the above settings.

Thanks for the help!

That seems like an odd IP Address. Min always begin with 192. But anyway.

Here is where my simconnect.xml is located on the server.

Z:\Users\MainFlight\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX. It must be there in orded to work.

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

<SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">

Thanks for the reply. Can you enable your SimConnect log and let me know what your IP addresse is? Confirming to the 192.xx.xx.xx address?

Thanks!
