Need Information

To try and get Plan-G working with FSX SimConnect I have done the following.   (Windows XP.  All updates and Net Frameworks installed.)

Uninstalled FSX, FSX-SDK and deleted folders.
Did disk defrag.

Installed FSX and registered.
Installed FSX-SDK
Installed SP1
Installed SDK SP1a
Installed SP2

Question 1:
I have BeatlesBlog.SimConnect.SDK.Beta3 but am not sure what to do with it.   Can't find any information on installation.
Should it go in the SDK folder?

Question 2:
Is there anything else that I need to install to get Plan-G and SimConnect to work?   Previously I was given information that I needed SP2.    Now I see in one of the posts that SP2/Acceleration is needed.

I hope Acceleration is not also needed, just don't have the dollars right now.

Thanks for the help.

ADDED - Just discovered a file SDK.msi.   If I read correctly this is an upgrade to SDK SP1a.  Is this correct or is it not needed?

1. Nothing. There is no requirement to install anything other than the Plan-G download. (apart from FSX of course  ;))

2. No. SP2 and Acceleration are equivalent as far as Plan-G is concerned.

Then, if you are running FSX and Plan-G on the same PC, you should be able to click on the Connect button, and Bob's your uncle.

In the even t that it doesn't connect first time, or you are running across a Lan, turn to section 9 of the manual for further instructions.

Got it to connect. ;D

Couldn't get it to work so decided to install SDK.msi.  Guess this is the latest SDK.

Network Mode:      IPv4
FSX Computer:      Blank
Server Port/Pipe:  0

Got a connection. :o

Now I need to figure out how to get it to work on my laptop. :'( :'( ::)
