Could not connect to simulator, Simlink needs to be running.

Hello, I’ve been trying to use the interactive map on Navigraft all day, but every time I click on the arrow, I get the following message: “Could not connect to simulator, Simlink needs to be running.” I’ve tried everything, but I can’t get it to connect or start up. Here’s a screenshot of Simlink with the simulator running so you can see what I’m getting.

I'm still having the same problem; when I try it in Navigraft, I get the same message, and it's exactly the same in Simlink.
