• 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 Accessing Multiplayer Chat Box

I am looking for a way to access the chat box available in multiplayer mode. I want to be able to programmatically react on specific commands users enter into the chat box, e.g. "help" or "flightplan" or "points". In turn, I want to respond to these commands by outputting a response text into the chat box.

I have already investigated the SimConnect API but to no avail. There doesn't seem to exist an "official" way to read from or write to the chat box. Interesting enough, there are multiplayer servers around that can do that (e.g. a server named "HippyHappyGermany"). So there must be an undocumented way to get hold of the chat box content (e.g. some area in memory, a DLL function, a way to intercept data written to the box etc.)

Any ideas or comments would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Delphier
