SITL USB Port Access Denied

I am attempting to use SITL on Windows 11 to send simulated ArduCopter telemetry data to a live ArduTracker via a Telemetry Radio, using this command:

$ ../Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py -A "--uartC=uart:/dev/ttyS14" --console --map , where the radio is connected to COM15.

sim_vehicle.py appears to start ok, creating the expected Command, Console and Map screens. However, some tty-related errors are logged in ArduCopter.log.

I get an Access Denied error when I try to add COM15 using the Console Link drop-down.

The ArduCopter.log file shows "Failed to open (/dev/ttyS14): No such device or address".

Is the required tty code missing from sim_vehicle.py ? Any assistance will be appreciated.

Please bear in mind that I am working in Windows here.

Start with Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py and reproduce the Windows 11 command using the reported COM15 connection and /dev/ttyS14 setting. Review the tty-related errors in ArduCopter.log and the Console Link behavior; done means the intended serial port can be added without Access Denied or No such device errors.
