Hi everyone,
Does anyone know why ACARS randomly disconnects even though my Internet connection is still active? I often find myself having to re-fly an entire flight because I return to my PC (MAC actually) and the connection disconnected and I only have the Recover feature. Not resume flight. If I do catch it happening at my computer and try to reconnect it says something like FSX is not running with the same permission as ACARS please restart in Administrator mode. Any ideas?!
Thanks, and HAPPY 2011!!

Make sure ACARS and FS are both being run with ADMINISTRATOR permissions.

You don't need to do this. You just need to ensure that they're running with similar privilege levels. ACARS can check for this and displays an error message if you're not, but if Matthew is seeing the error message after starting a flight it's probably in error.
Is this FSX you're running?
Cheers!

What's in your FSUIPC.LOG file? It's in the FSX Modules folder.
Cheers!

In what way was it unrecoverable? ACARS should be able to restore a Flight assuming you've turned the automatic flight saving on.
Cheers!

Looks like at 13:47 FSUIPC complained that SimConnect had stopped sending data - I wonder at what point ACARS thought it lost the connection to FlightSim?
