• 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.

    Hello, I have added an instrument panel window to the panel.cfg of an aircraft but it's not showing up in the sim. The window entry has both the visible=1 and the always_visible=1 flags but still not showing up. I tried restarting, reloading the scenario, reloading the aircraft and it's still...

    P3D v5 Moving Throttle Slider also triggers AXIS_ELEVATOR_AXIS event?

    I have an event handling code for AXIS_THROTTLE_SET however whenever I move the throttle slider on joystick AXIS_ELEVATOR_SET is triggered as well. I've put a trace point and the AXIS_ELEVATOR_SET is triggered with the dwData representing the throttle position? I don't understand when there is 0...

    P3D v5 [SOLVED] How to capture joytstick axis input before it's sent/processed in P3D?

    Let's say I want to capture elevator axis movement of a joystick however I want to capture this movement before it's detected by P3D OR before the input has an effect on the sim so that the input has no effect on the sim? Is this called masking? Thanks

    P3D v5 [SOLVED] SimConnect returning false while on ground

    I'm getting the boolean value of SIM ON GROUND and when the aircraft is on the ground, for fixed wing aircraft the sim return true as expected however when I switch to a rotor wing (helicopter) it returns false even if if the aircraft is standing on the ground with 0 velocity in any direction...

    P3D v5 [SOLVED] Why does SimConnect NOT set Data on SimObject when I call SetDataOnSimbObject()

    As title mentions, I'm requesting AGL and current altitude, then if the AGL is below some threshold, using SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject() function, set the desired altitude. While debugging, I see that the altitude calculations are correct, and I do call SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject() with the...

    P3D v5 [SOLVED] Is there a general throttle for all axis for throttles?

    I'm working on a module that gets throttle axis position using KEY_AXIS_THROTTLE_SET and then using that data lets say do foo(). Now, I've noticed during testing that if user has multiple throttles for example Thrustmaster TCA, Honeycomb etc., it doesn't work. Is there a work around for this...

    P3D v5 [SOLVED] Why does KEY_AXIS_THROTTLE_SET return out of bound in some joysticks?

    I'm using the KEY_AXIS_THROTTLE_SET event to get the throttle axis position every time its changed. The documentation says the range is 0 - 16383 however if the throttle has additional axis or virtual buttons (for example Thrustmaster TCA Airbus sidestick), there is a small buffer zone which is...

    P3D v5 [SOLVED] Does # of Notification Groups matter?

    Let's say I have 2 events. They both have highest priority. Does having 2 notification groups or 1 group have any different regarding development, usage and applicability? According to SDK documentation "...A notification group is simply a convenient way of setting the appropriate priority for...

    P3D v5 How can I know what's being returned from a SimConnect function since it's not in the documentation?

    Hello, I'm working on several P3D projects that use SimConnect API and starting to understand more. One of the things I did not understand and trying to learn is that where I can get more information about return types and whats actually being returned. The documentation does mention the...
