C# DirectPlay lobby launch not working?

[Moshe Bergman]

I am trying to launch Flight Simulator 2004, and have it connect to
localhost, I can do this in C++ but not on C#...

Here is my code:

ConnectInformation info = new ConnectInformation();
ConnectionSettings settings = new ConnectionSettings();
settings.HostAddress = new Microsoft.DirectX.DirectPlay.Address("127.0.0.1",
23456);;
Guid g = new Guid("0808caa5-e62c-4691-8957-5d4524b922da");
info.Flags = ConnectFlags.LaunchNew;
info.GuidApplication = g;
info.ConnectionSettings = settings;
info.UseConnectionSettings = false;
connectioninfo = theClient.ConnectApplication(info, 60000, null);
theClient.SetConnectionSettings(connectioninfo, settings);

if I change info.UseConnectionSettings to true, the program crashes, if it's
false, the program is launched but does not connect to the multiplayer.

Any help will be approciated,

Moshe,

I'm also trying to interface to MSFS2004 using DirectX/Managed/C#. I've had
some luck by modifying the "Migrated Hosts" sample program under the
"Tutorials" directory.

The furthest I was able to get was to see the FS "Host" session returned
using "Peer.FindHost()", and have it "Reject" my attempt to connect with
"Peer.Connect()". Since I didn't format the data in the "Connect" packet,
I'm not surprised at the rejection.

Have you made any more progress on this?
