• 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.

    MSFS20 2020 SDK simconnect

    And what rate were you reading UDP packets at from Xplane? Do you know what the difference is between UDP and TCP? There is still SOME piece of software that is communicating to the control board of the hydraulic platform and such. I assure you that the control board doesn't interpret raw data...

    What do you mean by a dynamic simulator? MSFS202 IS a dynamic simulator. Are you trying to build graphical representation (or other indicator) of an aircraft panel that gets updated by the data from MSFS?

    MSFS20 2020 SDK simconnect

    The Simconnect DLL is not a native tool of MSFS2020. It would appear to me that it is opening a TCP pipeline with the simulator and uses tx/rx packets to communicate. The question that I have for you is why do you need these variables updated so frequently? If it is a matter of creating smooth...

    MSFS20 MSFS2020 SimConnect in Winforms && Wpf WORKING, but some help needed. CODE EXAMPLES INCLUDED

    Hi @maugiroe, here is a sample request for a string. The IMPORTANT part is that you must define your string length properly in your data struct. My newest iteration of the SimConnect Wrapper has done away with multi-variable data structures in favor or single entity requests. This way I don't...

    Were you able to get it sorted out? It should work with the info listed in the SDK documentation. If you are not getting a proper result returned (and are definitely setting up your request properly), then it is likely because the data struct that you are passing is failing when parsing one of...

    MSFS20 Complete airport list data available anywhere?

    Hi there. Here is an excel spreadsheet of US Airports that you can use if you like. It's in ZIP format. Just unzip and open. You can export the data wherever you like then. P.S. I have the associated runway data too if anyone would like it

    MSFS20 2020 SDK simconnect

    Hi David. I've figured out how to set variables like gear, throttle, mixture etc...ran into a few things to check when trying. First: make sure you dont have a controller overriding your programmatic inputs :( Second: to set a value you have to pass a data struct with the same definition and ID...
