Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

SDE requires the original version of SimConnect that came with the DVD. If you update the SDK or FSX then all copies of SimConnect should be available.
I have FSX sp1 insalled along with the sp1 and sp1a sdk. I installed the latest sdetestapp and jmflightsimlib.dll. When starting sdetestapp, it immediately throws an error:
Unhandled Exception:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect, Version=10.0.61259.0, Culture=neutral, PuclicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. the located assemply's manifest definition dow not match the assemble reference. (Exception from HRESULT:0x80131040)
It gives me an "ignore" option and if I click this the testapp will start. It seems to run OK.
I looked in C:\Windows\assembly and I have two entries:
Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect 10.0.61242.0
(This one seems to be from FSX sp1 -- 10.0.61355)
Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect 10.0.60905.0
(This one seems to be FSX RTM)
These both also have entries in WinSxS with simconnect.dll. I think 10.0.61259 version of simconnect.dll is for sp2?

Curious - I am still not sure I understand how this all works. In ADE it is possible to get a situation where the initializing code finds SimConnect but the program throws an exception when you try to use it 10.0.60905.0 is the one that my software uses.
