    Did you ever figure this out?

      No not yet.

      Haven't gotten around to it since I had to dig up a different hard drive, but will test a new clean Windows 10 install (on that different hard drive). If that doesn't work it may be time to try a new motherboard.

        I am sharing your pain,

        Never managed to get fSX working with Bluetooth and foresight just said there are lots of issues and unreliable..... so I connect with USB and works fine.

        Problem however is now I want to use TGC, and can not get it to work. Tried setting up from the instructions on the forum but would seem this is an old example from prior version of windows, so I can’t event workout which port the GC2 is using

        At least I have determined BT works on my iPhone to GC2..... but would love to know how I do so for my laptop.... as can’t play TGC without it ....

          Has anyone tried running the troubleshooter for Bluetooth ?? Maybe it can "fix" itself.

            Ive been fighting with it for awhile now. Ive got 3 bt dongles. 2 of them appear to be the same techkey/asus. The asus had difficulty finding gc2 but when it does it works. The techkey finds it easily but doesn't connect. My hgard/csr4.0 never finds the gc2 but finds everything else in the house. Using windows 10. Sometimes I have to have a hard shutdown of the pc and gc2 to get it working. Yesterday I spent 50 minutes fiddling with it before I get a connect. When it's bad I usually have to delete gc2 from bt and then reconnect gc2.

              I had a hard time getting my GC2 to connect with FSX and when it would after just a few shots it would disconnect, yet I am connecting on TGC 2019 just fine. I went to the USB cable for FSX and have that up and running, where as TGC 2019 will act as if it has lost connection, but if I leave everything running, shut down the Pro Tee interface and restart it, then reconnect GSX, it fires off the last swing and continues on as normal. Only problem I am left with now is while in the house my Xbox controller never gave me a problem, but since I moved back to the sims room I am constantly reinstalling it to get it to work, I think the problem has to be in Windows 10, just a matter of finding just what it is.

                I tried installing TGC to work with my GC2 , using the instructions per the Sticky post... however this appears to be for an old version of windows as the screen shots for checking which COM/ port are different and I am unable to see which cons or ports Foresight is connected to.

                I have deleted all other blue tooth devices from the laptop so it appears to have narrowed down to COM 5 and COm 6, however when I try and enter either.... the GSX say Connected on inbound but not on outbound, and vv if I select the other. ( and even when it says connected, it is only temporary)

                Are there any instructions/ posts for connecting in 2018/2019 with more moderr software??

                  If you click the Bluetooth icon near your clock then settings I think. It brings up menu. On the right is “more Bluetooth options or something similar. It should open a new window that looks the same as the old one. Verify ports there. Make sure you are connecting to outgoing port. If it’s set to outgoing port, then hit connect. That connects the “incoming” connection in port tee interface. If you have the port right for Bluetooth. Don’t give up after hitting it once. Hit a ball on your gc2, then try hitting connect button about 10 times before giving up. Some gc2s are stubborn and need you to hit the connect button a few times. The outgoing connection in gsx has NOTHING to do with Bluetooth so if your outgoing gsx connection isn’t working that’s the Protee interface and usually that means the IP address you typed in is wrong. Good luck!

                  I had the old TGC installed on my system, when I added TGC 2019 it picked everything up from the old setting. Like Stingreye said your IP address is wrong if your outbound GSX is not connecting.

                There's a few items in my troubleshooting post that have not been mentioned, so you may want to check through this list and see if any of these help:
                Further down this post I have tried to give some detail about a number of solutions that I have found to be useful in solving GC2 / TGC / FSX connectivity issues: BACKGROUND Last summer I built a new simulator setup. Since finishing the build in late summer 2018, I have had a constant battle with a range of freezing / drop
