felice52 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 My Display Unit can't connect to the Data Provider and in the Data Provider I have a message saying «SimmConnect status "inactive". How can I solve the problem and set SimmConnect active again? Thanks for your help Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wycliffe Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Felix I assume your running the two units across anetwork, you must make sure that you have shared files. follow the instructions in the manaual and you wikll be fine. If you wish to see online traffic, VATSIM or IVAO you must also download some specific files, once again the instructions are in the manual.

felice52 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I did a new install of the software on both PC's after the Microsoft security update for the dot.net framework and I corrected the simmconnect.xml. Now every ting is running like before. Thank you for your help Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felice52 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 The smiley was a bit too early. Same problem again. Data provider is running and the Display Unit can't reach the data provider. First I thought that GEX is blocking the connection so removed GEX from my PC. But this didn't helped either . So I am stuck again. I am running EFB on a Network and I didn't had any problems for the past 12 months. I also remarked, when the system was running yesterday, that the speed of the aircraft on the VATSIM Network was much faster than normal.

felice52 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Could the problem be with the C++ runtime library? Because GEX is installing something called VC++. Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felice52 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Changing of TCP Port No. did help so far. Happy Landing Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG_Flyer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 GEX would not block connections - no way. When you are on your remote PC, can you connect to your FSX PC by way of using the FSX PC's "computername?" Are all of the necessary shares on your FSX PC visible to your remote PC?
