Thanks for the feedback.

I went through the steps in setting up FSHost. Got it to connect to each other.. but I do not understand how it works with Plan-G..

You say "simconnect.xml on both computers." Where should the  simconnect.xml file be on my remote laptop with Plan-G running?

Windows 10 laptop with Plan G
SimConnect settings:
IPv4
FSX Computer 192.168.000.004
Server Port 4506

Desktop Windows 7 PC with P3D v3
Simconnect.xml file located in root P3d folder:

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

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

<Descr>SimConnect Server Configuration</Descr>

No firewall installed on either.. windows firewall disabled on both. No 3ed party antivirus installed.

Any ideas? Thanks!
