[Solved] Can't connect FSUIPC7 on remote computer do MSFS2024 computer
Hello, Mr. Dowson,
I can't connect FSUIPC7 on remote computer (only with MSFS2024 - it works fine with MSFS2020). On simulator computer it says it is connected to simulator.
I'm sending you a picture with the error and the FSUIPC.INI, FSUIPC.LOG and SIMCONNECT.CFG files to see what is wrong.
Please help me. I'm getting a headache.
Best regards,
Vasco Oliveira
It seems I can't attach the Simconnect.cfg file here, do here is the code on it:
[SimConnect]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=192.168.1.108
Port=2048
MaxReceiveSize=4096
DisableNagle=0
If it can connect to MSFS2020 but not to MSFS2024, then its most probably a firewall issue. Try disabling firewalls and trying (on server, client and router) and see if it connects then, and if so then enable the routers one by one to see which is the culprit, and then allow the connection in that router.
Also remember you need to configure simconnect on both computers, client and server. You can use the same SimConnect.cfg file for MSFS2024 as for MSFS2020, and the same SimConnect.cfg file for your FSUIPC7 client for noth MSFS2020 and MSFS2024.

You should be able to now, and please attach both (or all 4 if using different ones than for MSFS2020.
I am rather busy today, but I will check here when I get time, as I haven't tried this with MSFS2024 yet - but it is exactly the same as with MSFS2020.

Problem solved.
I was using port 2048 on SimConnect.cfg instead of port 500. NOw it is fully working.
Thanks anyway. 🙂
Best regrds,

Ok - thanks for the update. But I wouldn't use port 500 - low port numbers generally require elevated privileges. And port 500 is already assigned to 'Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) / Internet Key Exchange (IKE)[11]' - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers.
Always better to use higher port numbers, and always check if allocated to a known service - even if you may not be using that service at the moment, better to avoid.
