• 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.

    SimConnect for FSX Steam

    I've always used the .dll file and it has worked fine. Now I've got some errors and I can't figure out what's wrong. I'm not sure if this because of Steam as this is my first time using Steam. I may have to try using the .lib and .h files to possibly get around this problem.

    SimConnect for FSX Steam

    So I ran all three of the sim connect msi installers: FSX-RTM, FSX-SP1 and FSX-XPACK. Now I need to add the reference in my windows app in Visual Studio. But which sim connect .dll do I reference to? Should I copy one of those sim connect dll files to my app's main folder and reference it from...

    SimConnect for FSX Steam

    I ran the installer msi in this folder: C:\Steam5\steamapps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces\FSX-RTM ...but after agreeing to the license, the install must have happened very fast because the window closed within a second and that was it. I don't know where the...

    Differences between keyboard buttons and joystick buttons

    Thank you but no, I don't need code to do that as I have the code now to do that. I don't want to use hot keys or key codes to do this. My joystick buttons do not register in simconnect as hot keys. My G13, as I have found out, is a keyboard device so it does register with the PC as a keyboard...

    Differences between keyboard buttons and joystick buttons

    Can someone explain the difference between pressing a button on a joystick and pressing a key on a keyboard? On my joystick, I'm pressing a button and detecting it as a joystick button press (and then telling my app to do something). When I attach a Gaming Pad and press a key, I get no...

    How to set Outside Camera Views?

    >I was referring to the events underneath View System in the SDK's list of key events I see... no that's not what I did. I did it using the HotKeySelect method.
