Hi Tim,

No they weren't initially, but I have subsequently had them all running together (REX Weather Engine, STB and Plan-G)

Thanks,

Ross.

Hi Tim,

Apologies, I should RTFM!! I made an assumption and it was wrong!  :) Thank you all seems well now.

Ross.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the response. strange thing is I am using IPV4 and not using Netbios to connect. See simconnect.cfg below (from My Documents have also dumped this file in the Plan G directory to no avail).

[SimConnect]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=192.168.249.116
Port=6600
MaxReceiveSize=8192
DisableNagle=1

I am running FSX Acceleration on Vista x64 SP2 English

Other simconnect apps are Super traffic Board and REX, I have a registered version of FSUIPC installed also. No other software running at the same time as FSX apart from REX weather engine and STB on the remote machine.

Regards,

Ross.

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help. I am a new Plan G user and am trying to run it across the network. I have a drive mapped and have created the DB etc, but every time I try and connect I get the following error in the ErrorLog:

10:27:25 RibbonButton_Click_ConnectFS

I know the duplicate name message ois a red herring as there are no duplicate machine names on my LAN. also I have two other apps running via simconnect (STB and REX) with no issues.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Ross.
