I GOT IT TO WORK!!!
I don't know what happened but I started AFP BUT did not connect the 9 pin cable to the 9 pin com port until ASP says"can not find
com port at the start of the program...it says retry..THEN I hooked up the cable and it worked,do know what this did but I don't care
I was running out of options here!
Anyway..it is way cool, I really love the sim so far!
