a server in the Firewall settings. If you have trouble connecting to this machine, temporar-
ily disable the Firewall to see if a connection can be made.

On the client PC, start SaiFlightSimX.exe Locate at: C:\Program Files\Saitek\DirectOutput\
Note: If nothing appears to happen, open Task Manager and check that SaiFlightSimX.exe

try disabling the Firewall.
