• 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.

Add window focus switch to "View" event notification

I've been trying to use the "View" event to detect the current user view type (VC, 2D, spot view) and it works great so long as you only have one window open. If you have two or more, then the View event is not sent if the user changes focus so I loose track of what the current view is, which is important as I have to send view pan commands to the VC view only (to simulate a gimballed camera.)

My FSX program (just got the request for ESP signed off by management) really depends on that, so it would be nice to see it added.

I've just been doing some more work with views and the description of the "View" event notification in the SDK appaears to be incorrect. It states:

"Requests a notification when the user aircraft view is changed. This request will also return the current view immediately. "

It appears that it does not return the value immediately as stated. I have code that I need to run differently depending on whether the user is viewing from inside or outside the aircraft, so I'm trying to subscribe and unsubscribe from this on a regular basis, hoping that it would notify me immediately of the current view (since I've already stated it gets confused if you have multiple view windows open) but to no avail.
