Network connection to client
Network connection to client
I'm trying to connect to a client running another MSFS on my lan network with the Spad Config Wizard. However, I keep getting the 'no connection because target machine actively refused it' message. Has anyone been able to get this working with MSFS? If so, can you offer some help? I have SpadNext installed on both server and client, firewalls are also off.

Re: Network connection to client
a) this implies you have 2 SPAD.neXt licenses ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
b) you need to alter MSFS SimConnect.xml to allow remote connections. You will find it in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

Re: Network connection to client
Thanks for a quick response. I do have two licenses. I located the xml but I'm not sure how to edit it. I have both PC's networked through the lan with the client IP set to 192.168.0.2

Re: Network connection to client
In first entry change Scope to "Global" and give port 500 on remote pc.
Make sure firewall is open on that port on local network
