Looks like you haven't specified the connection info correctly. Unfortununately you didn't include the part of the log in your post  that shows that detail.

Yep. You need to specify an IP address and Port number in your config. Please refer to the manual Section 8, Page 44 "Connection to Flight Simulator", and specifically the settings shown on pages 49-51.
