Problem connecting

[rich12545]

Hi, this is FS9, new fs install, latest Plan-G.  I have it set to auto connect.  Got an error and it wouldn't connect.  Tried manually and got the same error.  Here's the info from the log.  Hope you can help.  Thank you.

09:31:57.0 FSUIPC.Connect
09:31:57.0 Error opening FSUIPC: FSUIPC.FSUIPCException: FSUIPC Error #1: FSUIPC_ERR_OPEN. The connection to FSUIPC is already open.
   at FSUIPC.FSUIPCConnection.Open(FlightSim RequiredFlightSimVersion)
   at FS.FSUIPC.Connect()

EDIT:  Been fooling around with it and I think I know the answer.  You can't try to connect until the flight starts, not just FS9.  Is that right?
