Hello,  
after I started X-plane and chose the FF A320, I opened Navigraph Charts on my iPad and tapped the moving maps button. Then the error message ‘Moving Maps: A running simulator could not be detected’ occurred.

How can this be fixed?

Best regrads,  
Martin

I am not sure if this applies to your setup or not, but I noticed this morning on my PC that a new version of simlink was released overnight. I would perhaps also check your Ipad app store and see if they also released a new version for it.

Hello Ahir Vishal,  
thank you very much. I did as you proposed: I downloaded and installed the newest version of Simlink on my iMac. Now Simlink works as it should do, even the moving maps feature.

Best regards,  
Martin
