Simlink cannot detect FSX flight

Hi John,

Simlink cannot detect any FSX flight because FSX does not load the Simlink plugins while starting the FSX simulator. And this is because of the FSX plugin configuration file issue.

Please follow the below steps to fix the issue with FSX,

  1. Close running Simlink and FSX applications.
  2. Now open the FSX configuration folder,
    2.1 Press the Win + R key to open the Run window.
    2.2 Now type %appdata% and press enter, it will open the APPDATA folder.

    2.3 In the APPDATA folder you can find the FSX folder in <APPDATA>/Microsoft/FSX
  3. Take the backup of the FSX folder for recovery.
  4. Now reset the FSX configuration by deleting the FSX folder, Don’t worry FSX will recreate the folder with the default configuration.
  5. Start the FSX simulator, it will recreate the FSX folder and other configuration files.
  6. Stop the FSX application and reinstall the Simlink plugins by using the Simlink application.
  7. After installing Simlink plugins, please start the FSX and check whether Simlink detects flight.
  8. Done.

Please let me know if you fix or not the issue with the Simlink.
