Sim on Windows, STKP on Linux, Sim on Mac, STKP on Windows - all combinations should work just fine. SimToolkitPro for X-Plane over a network can function with any combination of devices and Operating Systems. The process for setting it up differs slightly, but it's nice and simple too.
X PLANE UPDATE FAILED PERMISSION SIMULATOR
Visting the Live Sim Data page from the sidebar should now show information about the aircraft you are currently in as well as positional information from the simulator.Ī network setup should be used when the simulator and STKP are on different computers. Click the Connect X-Plane button on the Dashboard or the Flight Summary page. With the plugin loaded, you should now be able to establish a connection between the sim and SimToolkitPro. If the plugin isn't present in the list, check your X-Plane Log.txt file for more information on why it isn't being loaded or hop into the STKP Discord to get help from the Support Team. Starting up X-Plane 11 and loading into an airport, you should now see STKP-Connector in the list of installed plugins using the Plugin Admin menu. You may need to run SimToolkitPro as administrator to do this.įor a local installation you are now done. Errors are likely to be permissions based, so ensure that the simulator is not running and you have the required rights to place plugins in the folder.

In the event of an error, notices will appear in the top right of the app.
X PLANE UPDATE FAILED PERMISSION INSTALL
With the folder selected, click the Install Plugin button to copy over the required files. This should be set to the location of the X-Plane.exe file.

If SimToolkitPro was unable to find your folder, click the 'Find' button and locate the directory. It will try to auto detect the installation folder, but this isn't always possible or successful. Now we need to tell SimToolkitPro where X-Plane 11 is installed.

Head to STKP Settings and look for a new 'X-Plane' tab that appeared at the top of the page and switch to that. Now that the simulator is enabled, the Settings tab for it will be made available. A blue tick mark shows the simulator is enabled. A local setup should be used when the simulator and STKP are on the same computer.Ĭlick the Connect To Sim button on the STKP Dashboard, then click the X-Plane 11 logo to enable the use of the sim.
