P3D and FSX remote SimConnect access
::: {.important} ::: {.title} Important :::
Remote SimConnect allows you to run a "standalone" GUI connecting to a remote FSX/P3D via a "remote SimConnect" configuration. This is something different as a distributed swift GUI connected with a core. :::
If you want to read about remote swift UI:
distributedswift
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}
Enable the server side (where FSX or P3D runs)
- From the official P3D documentation
- Another remote [SimConnect]{.title-ref} config tutorial is here.
- In
%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4
(orMicrosoft/FSX
) create aSimConnect.xml
file - Example: My path looks like this for FSX:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
- This file is only needed when remote access is required
- For me the file is identical for P3Dv4 and FSX
- In case one needs to create [SimConnect]{.title-ref} log files, the [.ini`file is here: `C:Users[username]DocumentsFlight Simulator X FilesSimConnect.ini]{.title-ref}
Example file: TODO ADD
Enable the client side (where swift runs)
- On the client machine, go to the
Documents
folder, something like this:C:\Users\[username]\Documents
- In the documents folder place a
SimConnect.cfg
file corresponding with the above server
Example file: TODO ADD
You can alternatively use the config option from the swift settings
