I see.. the project expects (is scripted) to reference MSFS SimConnect items for both versions from a 'Redist' folder
the two plug projects references the Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect.dll from there
There are post build actions to copy items into the SimConnectDepl folder as well as into a Redis folder I use for such purposes.

I've made a doc which outlines the folder structure which is expected by this VS project
and also how the product is then expected to be setup.

https://github.com/bm98/FSimAdapter20_24/blob/main/Documents/ProjSetupFolders.pdf

As MSFS dlls having the same name I choose this setup in order to resolve it during runtime

BUT if this can be done better... please don't hesitate and let me know - thank you.

Can you please look into this exception and help to solve this. I am using 2024 version

[bm98]

It seems that the c# Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect.dll version is not the same I used.
I am on SU1 beta hence the version mismatch I assume

Go to the 2024 Plug project References and renew the reference for Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect.dll
I usually delete the reference and make it again by choosing the dll via browser.

[shaheen2013]

Still no luck.
"-> don't reference the managed SimConnect DLL (else it will not work...)" can you please explain which SimConnect DLL did you mean?

I am getting this message now.

I will be helpful if you could record a video about how to use this adapter.

I am using 2024 simulator on 64 bit processor

Thanks in advanced

[bm98]

For the exception - it does not find the dll's needed.

• you have to place the V2020 and V2024 folders from 'SimConnectDepl' into the app folder as outlined in the pdf page 2 (ProductFolderStructure)
  the adapter project does not do this on it's own as it does not know about your project.

For the video - sorry I don't have enough spare time to do this
