Hello everyone,

I've spent the last night or two trying to get plan G to work. I've got it installed on my laptop seprate computer too fsx one. I can get PLAN G to find my FSX rig but it keeps saying, check protocol setting. I've triple, quadruple check my IP and all my ports etc to no avail.

heres my simconnect.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
- <SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">
  <Descr>SimConnect</Descr>
  <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename>
- <SimConnect.Comm>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Protocol>Auto</Protocol>
  <Scope>global</Scope>
  <Address>110.32.34.49</Address>
  <MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
  <Port>4506</Port>
  <MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize>
  <DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
  </SimConnect.Comm>
- <SimConnect.Comm>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
  <Scope>global</Scope>
  <Address>110.32.34.49</Address>
  <MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
  <Port>4506</Port>
  <MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize>
  <DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
  </SimConnect.Comm>
  </SimBase.Document>

Its located in the FSX cfg foler too, im sure there is some simple explanation to this that im just not getting.

I've also tried disabling firewalls, still no different.

Cheers,
Dylan

You need to use the internal IP address of the FS PC on your LAN, not the external address supplied by your ISP. It normally starts 192.168...

mmm, couldnt seem to find an ip adress starting with 192.168

My 'CMD black box' only gave me ipv4 adresses? which is 10.1.1.3?

Could you point me in the right direction on where to find correct IP.

Cheers

10.1... is less common as an internal network range, but it is also used. So that's the address to use.
