Problem with Simconnect and HIDMacros

Post by js6033 »

I have used HIDMacros to FS2004, FSX and P3Dv3 at both Windows7 32 bit and Windows10 64 bit.
It has worked perfectly all the time. Look at me site http://snell.se/flightsim/?Mina_projekt ... le_Cockpit
unfortunately most in Swedish.

But now I bought P3DV4 64 bit from Lockheed Martin. And (of course) HIDMacros doesn't work in P3DV4!
To me it looks like the SimConnect does not connect to P3DV4.

As I understand from this forum something is wrong with Simconnect. But I am not able to do somethimg to it.
Maybe a rebuild of the macro would be required. But I do not have required knowledge.
Any other?

Which version of SimConnect are you using to connect to Prepar3D?

I don't know. Have only installed P3DV4. Should I install Simconnect as well? Which Simconnect is in HIDMacros I don't know.

Hello Rob,

Same problem here http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic ... 0&t=125245
The tests I made shows a problem with SP1 and RTM SimConnect with P3D V4. No problem with SP2.
HidMacros uses SP1 SimConnect.
Thank you.
Best regards
Claude
