Cannot initialize DLL for FSX Simconnect

[NoahDoah]

Hello, I am new to GitHub, so no Idea if I am right here.

I just got a question to your simscript. I downloaded the simconnect program from: https://github.com/nmeier/simscript/releases

When I create my own script in the scripts-Folder and I just do that:

import log log.info("Testing...")

Then I start simscript.exe and start my file with the menu of the traybar icon. Everything works fine then. It outputs "Testing..." all the time.

But when I make this:

import log, fsx log.info("Testing...")

It just says "Cannot initialize DLL for FSX SimConnect".

What do I wrong? Do I have to do something else or update anything?

I really hope this is the right place to write and you can answer me. Because this Library is SOOO awesome. Thank you so much. It ist indeed the easiest way to program FSX Things. I got a really nice Idea and hope you can answer me :)

With best regards, Noah

Hi

I've changed fsx.py to pass the error up for logging. The problem most likely is

[Error 126] The specified module could not be found

Please rebase and try again to confirm to see if this is what you're seeing. the fsx module tries to load the FSX simconnect dll. It might not be accessible (and should work if the simconnect toolkit is installed).

Re-run the install of SimConnect. Also, if you've downloaded the 64bit version of simscript, or are running 64bit python yourself, you might want to try the 32bit version. I can't remember whether simconnect from a 64bit client is working atm.

Thank you for your fast response.

I changed the file and tried again. You are right. I get 126 Error. Heres my log:

When I start a sample program (Request Data) from the FSX SDK-Directory it all works well. It is connecting and showing infomation.

I will try to use Python 32Bit and SimScript 32Bit.
