[FSX] Pushback in C#

[JardY]

Hi everybody, I'm searching for about 2 hours now to know how can I start the pushback by clicking a button on an C# application...

I write this code (piece of shi*) :

PHP Code:

Struct3 lStruct3 = new Struct3();
                lStruct3.PUSHBACK_STATE = 1;
                gSimConnectHandle.AddToDataDefinition(DEFINITIONS.Struct3, "TOGGLE_PUSHBACK", "number", SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.FLOAT64, 0.0f, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED);
                gSimConnectHandle.SetDataOnSimObject(DEFINITIONS.Struct3, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, 0, lStruct3);
                gSimConnectHandle.ClearDataDefinition(DEFINITIONS.Struct3); 


Can someone tell me just what I have to use to make this action work ?

Thanks !

I'm still working on it with the following functions :

The EVENTS are TOGGLE_PUSHBACK, KEY_TUG_HEADING and TUG_DISABLE.

In fact, I don't really understand the heading I have to set with the TUG_HEADING... :-/

PHP Code:

gSimConnectHandle.TransmitClientEvent(SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, EVENTS.PUSHBACK1, 0,
                   GROUP_ID.GROUP1, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);
                gSimConnectHandle.TransmitClientEvent(SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, EVENTS.PUSHBACK2, lCap,
                   GROUP_ID.GROUP1, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);

gSimConnectHandle.TransmitClientEvent(SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, EVENTS.PUSHBACK3, 0,
                  GROUP_ID.GROUP1, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG.GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY);

Hey JardY,

just want to say: you are not alone! It seems like this heading variable is actually really strange. Fingers crossed that you'll find a solution (and share it with us )

Cheers,

Hello,
I am also trying to work with SimConnect, with VB .NET in my case. I can now read most of the FS X variables and process them to display them on a separate form. That's OK, except for ambiant temperature, which refuses to be displayed. I don't understand why, but I'll see that later.

What I am looking for now is to transmit data (commands) from my client program to FSX. So I read your post with interrest, and I tried to translate it into VB. I failed, because several keywords are unknown from me : PUSHBACK_STATE, lcap.

The documentation of the SimConnect SDK is confusing, and I desperatly search the web to find help.

Thanks in advance.
