SimConnect Log file

If you are experiencing problems using FS Force, you may be asked by technical support to provide a copy of your SimConnect log file to help diagnose the problem. This log file is not produced by default. Follow these steps to configure your system to produce a SimConnect log file.

Locate your SimConnect.ini file. Under Windows XP, this file is can be found in "My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files" . Under Windows Vista, it can be found in "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files" . If you do not have this file, go to step 3.

Open SimConnect.ini in your text editor of choice, and look for a line that says file=c:\<path>\simconnect.log. Make sure the line does NOT start with a semi-colon (;), then edit the path to point to a folder that's convenient for you.

If you do not have a SimConnect.ini file, create one in the appropriate folder (see step 1) using any text editor and enter the following lines :

[SimConnect]
level=verbose
console=0
file=c:\simconnect.log

Edit the "file= ... " line to point to a folder that is convenient for you.

Start FSX and do whatever you need to do to reproduce the errors you are experiencing. As soon as the error has occurred, shut down FSX and send the SimConnect.log file to the support email address above.
