Reply To: CLS2Sim apparently not compatible with Sim Racing Studio

[Diego Bürgin]

Hi, Diego from development here.

If you own MSFS2020 Steam version , open:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimConnect.xml

If you own MSFS2020 NON Steam version, open:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimConnect.xml

Search for:

<!-- Example Global (remote) IPv4 Server Configuration-->

and set the following settings:

<SimConnect.Comm>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
<Scope>global</Scope>
<MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
<Address>0.0.0.0</Address>
<Port>15050</Port>
</SimConnect.Comm>

Start, or restart MSFS2020 and afterwards you can connect with both SimRacingStudio and CLS2Sim.

Please note!

Any time you change settings within SimRacingStudio (screenshot), it overwrites this file and you have to manually adjust the file again.

I do not know, what exact SimConnect connection settings SimRacingStudio needs, maybe someone can fill that in.
For CLS2Sim, it needs an IPv4 protocol connection on port 15050 as shown in the xml above.

Regards
Diego
