If you're using FSX SE, make sure you run the small patch so your OS knows where to look. Its in the fleet library.

I can start vpilot before FSX SE but it just holds still until I get FSX SE running.

Its called "Installer Registry Fixer" in the Fleet Library. You may also need to run vpilot as administrator.

What error is it giving you?

it says:
Attempting Simulator connection, and then it says Connection failed. Over and over again. The connection button does not work either.

Might be a Simconnect issue. do you have the FSX boxed or Steam?

yes I did. Do you think it might be a firewall issue? I am going to try a different server also.

To solve the simconnect issue, I recommend REINSTALLING FSX sadly. If that doesn't work, let me know and ill find other options, It happened to me ONCE, and when I reinstalled, I got it back. I should be in your main directory if it works.

Try Installing FSX SP1 and SP2 first. It could save you a lot of trouble. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling FSUPIC.

Is there a SP2 update for Windows 10?

Now I am getting an error when I open FSX, it says Simconnect error: version_mismatch 5.

No, FSX SP2

If you have the FSX Gold or FSX Acceleration, then you already have it, but if you are to just own the original box of the FSX, then you need to go here: https://www.microsoft.com/Products/Games/FSInsider/downloads/Pages/FlightSimulatorXServicePack2.aspx and download the FSX SP2

I have the FSX Deluxe Edition. I don't know if that is the gold or not.

I do not think the Deluxe has the SP2, so I'd go ahead and install that SP2 and hope it works.

Deluxe doesn't have SP2. I'd install SP1, then SP2. The FSUIPC4.LOG should also say what version of FSX you're using, as will ACARS.

Cheers!

Where can I get them? Windows 10 says it automatically installs updates. How can I get them?
