Plan G Problem on second PC

[markpodbery]

Trying to setup plan g on a networked PC, Plan G did the scenery build fine, it picked fsx install out etc.

However trying to link it up to FSX, plan g just keeps timing out and not connecting.

I have followed the instructions word for word I think, I have firewalls off, etc. Created the simconnect file. You will see I have tried by IP and also PC name.... so fustrating!!

[tim arnot]

Can you ping that ip address from outside Plan-G?

[markpodbery]

Hi Tim,

Yep I can ping it no problem, I dont know if you are supposed to be able to telnet to it telnet 192.168.0.6 4056 ? I cannot telnet to it, but maybe you can tell me if you can?

I am lost with it to be honest....

[tim arnot]

I know nothing of Telnet, I'm afraid. You certainly don't need it for Plan-G.

If your IP address is correct, and your simconnect.xml is in the correct place, and FSX is running, the only possible reason for a timeout is if Plan-G is being blocked by AV, firewall, security etc.

[markpodbery]

I have no AV on either PC, windows defender disabled, can ping both machines from eachother, still will not work....................

Thanks

[markpodbery]

Ian M has kindly been on the phone tonight, but still we have had no joy....

I had some other simconnect.xml files 1 in ASE, another in REx2, renamed in case.

As I said actually removed anti virus on both machines to test it....

Thanks

Mark
