for the Steam edition of FS 2020 that libary is located here:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator That SimConnect.dll even is included in the FS 2020 installation directory itself, so third-party apps could dynamically link against that instance (if they didn’t want to ship their own copy). So Little Navmap certainly would not break if you uninstalled this “SimConnect Client” package. One approach would be that every third party application would ship its own copy of said SimConnect.dll, e.g. So if you would uninstall that “SimConnect Client” package then that (possibly multiple) add-on that installed this package in the first place would break.īut that doesn’t mean that all add-ons would break, as there are certainly multiple ways how an add-on (external application) can link to / find the required SimConnect.dll. It is certainly very likely that some add-on installed this “SimConnect Client” (which in the end is a single SimConnect.dll file, the “client library” with which third party add-ons / external apps can communicate with the Flight Simulator, as also explained in another post here - and possibly some “helper / test” applications which go along with it, as the installed package claims to take 1.75 MB, whereas the actual (as of the latest MSFS SKD) SimConnect.dll is a mere 57 KB in size).
I don’t think this answer is 100% correct. Do NOT uninstall this if you ever want a chance at making sure your sim works properly with any other 3rd party program.
