I installed Plan-G several months ago on a 2nd PC (a remote laptop) and it worked the first time after setting up SimConnect.  Now, all I get is a time out.  Maybe you can see what I can't?  I have attached my log  from the laptop and my SimConnect.xml file from my FSX PC.

thanks,

Clutch

The obvious things to check are that it's not being blocked by a firewall or antivirus, and that the IP address is correct (run IPConfig). Also make sure there is a connection and that other traffic can flow between the two PCs (using that ip).  All I can really say from looking at the log is that the address and port are consistent

Thx, good tips.  I will start looking at those areas.

Update - just went through my Homegroup, sharing, permissions.  Made sure sharing was on for my Plan-G folder.  It wasn't.  Worked instantly  ;D

And just want to add you have an EXCELLENT user's manual.  So much so I just printed it out on nice 28lb. paper and have it in it's own binder.  If I didn't know better I would swear you are a technical writer by trade.

All the best,

Clutch

I didn't write the manual myself, but the person who did, is. IYSWIM. ;)
