GG_Flyer Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Dave, I wrote "did" but that may be an overstatement. EFB may have worked fine without tweaking simconnect.xml, but FWIW.... On my FSX machine (my "host machine" if you like), I configured the simconnect.xml file for ipv4 (because I'm an old fogey and that's what I use) and auto with the correct port for EFB. Here's a thread that might make that a little clearer - http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5956 - Mr Pete Dowson points out an issue to someone having a problem. If that's not enough then run an internet search for simconnect.xml dowson. IIRC, I didn't have to do anything on my remote (XP) notebook other than to configure my software firewall and a/v to allow that port to be open to my FSX machine.

warphi Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have 2 XP machines, the provider machine is a iMac called "Mac". Folders are shared. Now, on the display unit I have to set the settings for 2 folders on the Data Provider Unit: - FSX Flightplans, and - Provider Data Folder The first one is fine (it says: "\\mac\Flight Simulator X Dateien", but for the second one I cannot find that "Aivlasoft.EFB.DataProvider" folder. Any suggestions? Thanks Philippe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warphi Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 hi I have changed the viewing flag for all directories to "view hidden files and folders". In XP (not Win7): in which directory exactly should this file be? rgds Philippe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
