iGoConnect v2.41.5 fixes the compatibility issue with LES's Saab-340A v1.6 and deprecates the 32-bit support for Linux. If you are running X-Plane 10 in Linux 32-bit, use iGoConnect v2.40.26.
IMPORTANT!
If you have MacOS Catalina (10.15), it is possible that after downloading and installing the plugin, you will not find it in the X-Plane's menu. This error is caused by the MacOS security protocols during the X-Plane start-up process that references a Mac.xpl file. If you do not see iGoConnect in the menu of the simulator, the following link explains how to solve the problem:

iGoConnect is a plugin for X-Plane flight simulator. iGoConnect (hereinafter referred to as the Plugin) acts as a server that connects X-Plane to iGoDispatch – an iPad application – over TCP. The Plugin performs the following functions:
- Receives the following information from the iGoDispatch application (the Application): Center of Gravity offset, payload weight, and fuel weight. After the data have been received, the Plugin loads the plane by changing the relevant datarefs in X-Plane.
- Sends to the Application the following X-Plane datarefs (ACARS data): plane’s position (latitude and longitude); heading (true and magnetic); weight; available fuel; current fuel flow; ground speed; and altitude. After the data have been received by the Application, the Application performs other calculations, such as estimation of time and distance given the available fuel, %MAC, and the current CG offset.
- Receives the current CG offset from the Application and dynamically adjusts it during the flight resulting in greater flight realism.
- Monitors flight performance based on approximately 20 parameters and determines possible pilot's errors during the flight. The Plugin also determines the passengers' satisfaction by monitoring the G-force and turbulence experienced during the flight. A performance report can then be sent to and displayed on the Application.
NOTE:
Version 2.40 and higher is compatible with:
◦ iGoDispatch iOS for IXEG's Boeing 733 version 1.18;
◦ iGoDispatch for CRJ200 and Saab-340A version 3.18; and
◦ iGoDispatch Desktop for IXEG's Boeing 733 version 1.3.28.
For earlier versions, use iGoConnect 2.30.
If you have problems connecting the iGoDispatch application to the computer with X-Plane running, it is most likely that your Firewall is blocking the TCP connection. You need to open the port to allow connection between your iPad and computer.
For Windows:
1. Go to Control Panel > Windows Firewall
2. Click on "Advanced Settings" in the left-hand pane.
3. Click on "Inbound Rules" and then "New rule".
4. Select "Port", click next, select "TCP", and enter "7767" as the local port.
5. Click next, and allow the connection.
6. Click next again, and ensure that "Domain", "Private" and "Public" are all ticked.
7. Name your firewall rule, e.g. "iGoConnect", and then save it.
For Mac:
1. Go to System Preferences, and choose the Security and Privacy Tab.
2. Click on the Firewall Tab, and the Firewall options button.
3. The page will show you the applications that are allowed access through your firewall
4. Add new applications to the list by clicking on the plus icon.
