• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX Can't send negative Slew values because of UInt

Hello

Using VB.NET, the syntax of TransmitClientEvent is mySimconnect.TransmitClientEvent(ObjectID, EventID, dwData as Uinteger.....)

When the Event is any of the SLEW commands, the UInteger data type for dwData is limiting values to positive.

The Microsoft documentation describes all of the Slew functions as (+/- 16383)

Who knows how to transmit the negative range of Slew values?

Any help appreciated

Have you tried casting your negative to a uint

unchecked
{
val = (unit)(-10999);
}

I have not tried this, just googled around to see if others have. Interesting issue here. I have not come across having to do this yet.

Here's the solution if anyone has the same trouble in the future

Dim slewVal As UInteger
Dim rate as Integer

rate= negative value

If rate >= 0 Then
slewVal = rate
Else
slewVal = UInt32.MaxValue + rate
End If

P3D_simconnect.TransmitClientEvent(objectID, EVENT_ID.EVENT_REQUEST_SET_SLEW_AHEAD, slewVal, hSimconnect.Group1, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.DEFAULT)
