Hello.
I have had FSDT products for many years now and have never had any issues.
I was trying to test a install on a new laptop and I now have a problem - Cant Init SimConnect Error.
3 days of trying and reading every post on the subject, no success. Hence this post.
I realize that the steps to install have been posted many times. I have done my best to read them and follow them.
Clearly understand that there are two basic dependencies -
a) SimConnect
b) VC++ Runtimes
KLAX requires SimConnect v61259 - the version that comes with SP2/Acceleration - I have Acceleration Pack.
I have uninstalled FSX and all associated add-ons. I did a clean install of FSX, then Acceleration pack yesterday.
I have installed the 4 links to VC++ 2005 runtimes that virtuali indicates in his responses to other posts.
[Although on my larger 737 simulator, I have never had to do this. I simply installed the KLAX airport and everything worked fine - that Simulator has VC++ 2005 v8.0.56336 - the one that KLAX installs and it works fine]
Here is the output of the SimConnect.ini log file -
0.00000 SimConnect version 10.0.61259.0

This indicates the correct version of SimConnect and that bglmanx.dll is being correctly loaded.
Here is the FSUIPC log output -

SimConnect appears to be correct, dlls are loaded, the VC++ 2005 runtimes are installed.
What could be the problem that I still keep getting the Cant Init SimConnect Error?
Please help.
