Air Manager lost connection to sim during flight and......

[Dmanz56]

now it won't connect at all. The program does not show up in Windows Task Manager even though it is running. Multiple attempts at closing and re-opening do nothing. The program appears to open but never connects. I've been using AM for many months with hundreds of flight hours and have never had this occur.

So after searching for an hour or so I finally found some information regarding a plugin. I ran that program and it connected to the sim. I've never had to do this before and don't understand what caused it but for the time being it is working.

Looks like a firewall issue, or some other network issue. You can try setting the IP address manually.
