    Hello, I'm new to the forum and a rookie in MFS 2020.
    Have a 2DIY with SimTools since for iRacing rights and on 01/13/2020 MSF2020 on Steam and successfully patched the plugin (version number I can't find).
    When I start the program, I get the error message in the system, but the program starts after a while and works. I also get the error message when I open Game Manager and Game Engine as administrator. Does anyone have any ideas for troubleshooting?
    Thank you in advance!

    Have you followed all the MSFS2020 plugin install instructions:

    Notes:
    • This plugin installs and runs a separate application that it uses to get motion data from the game. This may require GameManager to be run as administrator when patching.
    • A config file is included with this application and is located in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. This file can be used to set the rate of data transmission, which by default is 100 Hz. It can also be used to change the IP address that the application sends data to, which is necessary when the game and GameEngine are running on different PCs. In this case, change TargetIP to the internal IP address (e.g. 192.168...) of the PC running GameEngine.
    • If you are having problems with motion data, try replacing the file SimConnect.dll in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. A different version of this file may work better on your system. Look for one in the game installation directory, or install the SDK and look in MSFS SDK\SimConnect SDK\lib.

    Hi, thanks a lot for your quick response.

    1. I unpatched the MFS2020 Plugin, run the Game Manager as Administrator and patched again - the error message remains.
    2.GameManager and GameEngine are running on the same PC (single computer installation with default I.P. 127.0.0.1).
    3. I changed the file SimConnect.dll in AppData/Local/SimTools/MFS2020 and used the file from Programme(X86)/Steam/steamapps/common/MicrosoftFlightSimulator - the error message remains
    4. I do not have any problems with motion data so fare -but I am a rookie without any experience and still waiting for my Yoke and Pedal system, still using only keyboard. That is why I can't see advantage in useing SDK in the moment. But I want to resolve the remaining error message - any other proposal?
