Background
HiFi does not provide technical support for the SimConnect configuration part of a networked setup. While our products generally support networked configuration, properly configuring the client/server environment, system permissions, Windows rights, firewall and security software permissions and SimConnect itself is outside the scope of our products and technical support offerings.
The Steam Edition of FSX uses a custom version of simconnect. Many addons use simconnect for displaying objects and if you are having problems with aircraft display in the Steam Edition you may be able to fix them by installing the original FSX simconnect In your Steam FSX. Z has a great article on what SP1contains for the SDK, SimConnect, and 3 rd party developers here. I’d like to point out a few of the key fixes that will affect flyers: Graphics: Virtual Cockpit Lighting Re-enable the ability to define gauge lighting as a single texture mapped 1:1 with the gauge texture map as was available in FS9.
We highly recommend that a networked SimConnect configuration is not attempted unless you have advanced Windows networking experience.
Assuming SimConnect is properly configured and all other client/server environment, system permissions, Windows rights, firewall and security software permission settings are correct, our products should operate properly.
Common errors and symptoms related to improper configuration include:
