Something happened to my ACARS connection and I need help. I have a 64 bit pc with Windows 10 and when I try to connect ACARS, I get the message "ACARS cannot connect to server" ACARS seems to work and saves the flight information but will not connect and file the flight report. I have tried everything I can think of, but nothing has fixed this yet. Ideas please..
Thanks Stan Steppler

Is your firewall blocking port 15527?

Do the simplest , most elementary thing first. Uninstall, reinstall ACARS. Seems to be OK now. I have no idea what happened or why, but I am happy again.

Hi there, I tried everything, windows 64 up to date, fsuipc up to date, msfs202, 300Mbps internet, create excpecion on the firewall for the app, create rules for inb/outb, open 15527 port, then all ports, unistalled, installed again, yesterday I was able to connect, today I has been like 6 hours trying to fix. Any help is really appreciated

I would start by disabling IPv6 and then increasing the connection timeout to see if it makes a difference.
