No longer connecting with MSFS

Charts Simlink/Moving Map
1

I try to use the moving map with Simbrief flightplans in the charts desktop and can’t connect to simulator too. This has been happening for quite a while now.

Hi…,

Welcome.

For which aircraft in which FS?

Have you installed the latest Simlink version released today?

Cheers
Ian

Yes I updated today, and the same thing happens in MSFS. In the CRJ and FBW. Everything was just fine up until a month or so ago. Maybe after the UK fix? It’s been a while since I’ve flown so I can’t pin it down exactly.

Please post screenshot using Guide to posting Screenshots of Simlink Status accessed from Simlink icon in Systray (near Windows Clock bottom right)

As far as I know, everything’s cleared with my antivirus too. Fresh install of everything related to Navigraph in the sim as well. Doesn’t connect when in-sim or on desktop charts.

Maybe I’ll just reinstall the sim and see what happens?

Lets start from scratch with latest Simlink .

In Simlink Plugin Settings uninstall Simlink plugin from each FS, then completely uninstall Simlink using Windows Programs and Features exactly as under.

If they exist delete directories
c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Navigraph\Simlink and c:\Program Files\Navigraph\Simlink

Then download and install latest Simlink using the default prompted locations.

If still an issue, please post latest c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Navigraph\Simlink\logs\simlink_xxxx.dlog

Cheers

Thanks for that- but that link sends me to the same version that I uninstalled and reinstalled.

Here’s the log.

And did you do all the steps I mentioned?

Yes, I just re-did them again to rule anything out. Same problem. Whatever version the link has is what I’ve been using.

Thanks! That did the trick. I had a feeling I screwed something up in Windows after the last reinstall.
