Hi,
Could you please let us know which flight simulator you are currently using?
If you are not using Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), please check whether you have installed the Simlink Plugins from Simlink Plugins Windows.
Let us know if you continue to experience any issues. Thank you!
**Best Regards,**

To assist you better, please let us know the following information:

2. Have you updated to the [latest](https://navigraph.com/downloads) version of Simlink (1.1.35) on the same system where Flight Simulator is installed?
3. Have you installed the updated Simlink plugins for your Flight Simulator? (You can skip this step if you are using MSFS.)
4. Please ensure that you are logged into the Simlink application with a valid Navigraph account.
5. Note that the Simlink application is supported only on Windows and macOS.
Thank you!

Hi,
If you are using the MSFS then make sure that Simlink is running and you have login with valid Navigraph user in Simlink application.
And please send us Simlink log file which is located at `%appdata%/Navigraph/Simlink/logs` folder.

Hi,
When you click the “Sign In” button in Simlink, it should open your web browser for you to log in with your Navigraph account. If the web browser does not open automatically, please check if Simlink is being blocked by any security applications or Windows settings. Additionally, if you are using a VPN or proxy, please disable it.
If you continue to experience issues, please follow [these](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/navigraph-simlink-sign-in/8157/10) steps to reset the Simlink configuration.
Should the problem persist after performing the above steps, kindly send us the Simlink logs, which can be found in the following folder: %APPDATA%/Navigraph/Simlink/logs.
Please let us know if you still encounter any issues.
Thank you!
**Best Regards,**

Hello,
SimLink will automatically connect with Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020 and 2024, eliminating the need for any additional plugins.
Ensure that the SimLink application is running on the same machine as MSFS.
Should you encounter difficulties with MSFS connecting to SimLink, please refer to the following troubleshooting guide: [Simlink not connecting with MSFS - #13 by vishalahir](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/simlink-not-connecting-with-msfs/5219/13)
Kindly inform us if you continue to encounter issues.
Thank you.
