• 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.

    Error with VB.NET and Simconnect

    Well as always I hate that when that happens. I could not find any reason so I went and re-installed the Simconnect.msi package on my PC again and that appears to have fixed the problem. Don't know why it suddenly stopped working in the first place.

    One off variable

    I am trying to get a payload weight for my program but only want to get it once at a certain point. I understand that I have to read the payload station count and then go through each of the stations to add them all up for the combined weight. I was just wondering which call do I use to get...

    Want to set FSX time via Simconnect

    What I am trying to do is set the Free Flying time. I want to set it to UTC or local depending on which button is clicked. Thought I would try it with UTC first just to get it working. I would like to be able to set it via my program just as though it was set just before the flight in the...

    Want to set FSX time via Simconnect

    Okay I have Simconnect up and running fine using VB.NET and can read values I want fine. Now as part of a program I am tinkering with I would like to be able to set the FSX current UTC time by clicking on a button on my application.
