Getting a MapQuest tile server error? Go into Settings and choose Open StreetMap. Search the threads on 'MapQuest' discontinued for Plan G.
Also at times Open StreeMaps are not displayed correctly. Watch the forums for more information.

Finally able to connect Plan-G from computer running Windows 10 Technical Preview Evaluation copy. Build 9860 to computer running FSX on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  :) Changing the port to 4567 and using IPv4 worked. Had an idea that this would work as after changing SimConnect.xml to IPv4 and port to 4567, loading FSX the dialog error message appeared advising that the port was being blocked. Had the option to allow the port on the Home network, selected allow option.

Thanks for all the assistance Tim!

Windows 10 will be released in 2015, no exact date has been posted. Windows 10 seems to be a little more user friendly than Windows 8.1. I understand Microsoft has stopped selling Windows 8 via DVD or on OEM computers. Windows 8.1 is the current OS that Microsoft is selling. Windows 10 opens in Desktop view, when clicking the Start button, the menu like Windows 7 appears along with app tiles to the right of the menu. One can remove, resize app tiles or remove them completely. Windows 10 Technical Preview is free OS http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso. Note if your running any previous Windows OS on a computer it will overwrite that OS so have your factory image saved so you can go back to a previous version of Windows. I have not tried dual boot Windows 7/10 configuration as of yet.

Borrowed a laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Installed Plan-G, configured router to pass laptop MAC and IP addresses. Plan-G still timed out using IPv6 and IPv4 SimConnect.xml. Plan-G times out and shuts down. Must be something in the motherboard BIOS that I am not configuring correctly? Running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on the FSX computer. IPv6 and IPv4 enabled for Windows networking on the FSX computer. Not sure what I need to configure to have network SimConnect working? Plan-G runs on the FSX computer fine using 'localhost' with FSX running in Windowed mode.

Was able to ping both ways on both computers. Changed SimcConnect.xml to Ip4 also on Plan G connection. Times out same as the log file I attached in previous message.  The fault may be with the other computer I am trying to network. Running Windows 10 Technical Preview Evaluation copy, Build 9860.

There is a form for Windows 10 issues, will post on that form and see if anyone has an answer.

Tim,
Here is the log file and simconnect xml in plain text.

Having Plan-G simconnect issues. Attaching log zip file with simconnect xml under the log file. Recently installed a new motherboard, there might be some issue there but not sure. I can view files from the computer running Plan-G and the FSX computer. Looked at the BIOS configuration of the motherboard and can not see any setup that might cause failure of connecting two computers over local network. Also the router configuration is set to allow the Plan-G MAC address to pass though the router firewall.

The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 with AMD FX 6300 6-core 3.5Ghz processor.

mark, Plan G,select 'File' then on pull down menu select 'Options', then 'Units'. you can select metric units there.

Where can one find a DEM tiles to download, given that the web site www.ngdc.noaa.gov is no longer operational ?

Most US government sites are closed down due to the "shutdown" except for agencies that provide services for health, general welfare and life. For instance NOAA and NASA employees are working on 'credited' time to collect later when the "shutdown" is ended.

Have been using Microsoft Security Essentials virus protection. Never have seen any mention of a Trojan on Plan G. Best part the virus protection is free.

When installing Plan-G on Windows 8 would not allow to install even with administrator rights. Warning that the program may be harmful to your system. Selected allow install and installed fine.

From Plan-G log file:
11:11:14.2 IsInternetConnected failed: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.
   at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request)

Georges

Use a search engine site like Bing or Google and in the search box enter 'set up proxy for remote computer', there should be many results.

OK, first, Simconnect.xml is its own file: You do not add it to fsx.cfg. It merely lives in the same folder.

Second, the link-local address you have used does not match either of the addresses in your previous post.

To find your link-local address: Start->Network->Properties

In the properties dialog click on Connections: Local Area Connection then select Details.

Tim,

OK thanks, made the corrections and took out the xml lines I copied to the AppData, Roaming, Microsoft, FSX fsx.cfg and placed the Simconnect.xml into AppData, Roaming, Microsoft, FSX folder. Changed the link-local address and changed that address in PlanG, Options, FSX connection.  All is working.

This was a good lesson in connecting two computers over my local network. Have not had any previous experience with local networking. 

Thanks,

Jerry

Ok, one final thing: Have you added the FS PC's ip6 link-local address and the port number to your Simconnect.XML file?

Yes have done that.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
-<SimBase.Document version="1,0" Type="SimConnect">
<Descr>SimConnect</Descr>
<Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename>
-<SimConnect.Comm>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Protocol>IPv6</Protocol>
<Scope>link-local</Scope>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Address>fe80::ec1c:794a:4688:8fd0</Address>
<Port>4506</Port>
</SimConnect.Comm>
</SimBase.Document>

Went to check that today, the fsx.cfg today and the Simconnect.xml I placed there is missing? I saved the fsx.cfg before closing it after inserting the Simconnect.xml.
Placed the Simconnect.xml at the top of the fsx.cfg above [Sound]. Also are the hyphens in the lines -<SimBase.Document version="1,0" Type="SimConnect"> and -<SimConnect.Comm> belong? I open Simconnect.xml with Microsoft Explorer 9 I don't see those hyphens? When I copied that text and pasted it to fsx.cfg the hyphens were there. Also the fsx.cfg on my Windows 7 64 bit professional is in the user AppData, Roaming, Microsoft FSX. If that makes any difference.

Later:

Went back and made sure that the Simconnect.xml was saved in fsx.cfg, it was and then took out the hyphens, saved fsx.cfg again. Still no connect to PlanG.

Using Windows Explorer and right clicking on Network, right click the name of my pc and then properties I see a unique identifier: uuid:bb22092f-92ec-4aac-bd4a-97ee7650acb7 which is different from the IPv6 address and also the IP Adress as ::1

OK Sorry for not including more information.
