• 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 [SP2] Controlling aircraft lights via SimConnect (Beatle's SDK)

    Hmm... I think it'll be easier if I can send you the whole project. Could you PM me with an e-mail address I can use? I don't want to post it here because I'm borrowing code (legally, rest assured) for the serial-comms part, and I don't want any copyright trouble.:duck: Thanks!

    FSX [SP2] Controlling aircraft lights via SimConnect (Beatle's SDK)

    I'll try and put it up after school today. My brother (resident coder:rolleyes:) is trying to figure the best way to take the serial input and use it to activate the lights (and other commands, once I make some switches). Maybe I'll see you around town, or at Shannon, sometime (I've lived...

    Oops... I just realized I said SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent.:o I meant SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent!:p

    Bump. Any news, PittsburghLever?;)

    FSX [SP2] Controlling aircraft lights via SimConnect (Beatle's SDK)

    Hmm... First, how do I check the light state? Second, how do I sync that to my hardware state (I have a feeling that it's close to how I set the light state when I flip the switch)? BTW: I think I set the lights using the SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent, right? (I still would like the...

    FSX [SP2] Controlling aircraft lights via SimConnect (Beatle's SDK)

    A snippet is exactly what I need! I already programmed the hardware interface, and I'm learning how to write a C# app that can read the serial port, so the snippet should complete the setup. It'll be a huge time saver for me. Thanks SO much!:D P.S. Is there a way to set the...

    FSX [SP2] Controlling aircraft lights via SimConnect (Beatle's SDK)

    Hey, Folks! I'm a novice programmer, so clear explanations (by example) really help. Here's my situation: I'm currently building an Airbus overhead panel (cheaper than buying pre-made) using an Arduino. I'm trying to figure out how to use a serial connection to change switch states in my...
