• 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.

Hi guys, i would like to ask, how do i add new items under the Addon's section? Currently, i am developing a software and i would like my pilots to access it via the ADDONS button rather than having to start them externally. I have no clue how and i am currently using FSUIPC for my software. I have trouble trying to start with simconnect. If anyone here can guide me through, please help out. Thank you !
 
Take look at DLL.XML. Entries there appear in the Addon section. A good example is "Visual Effects Tool" entry - to activate it, you have to set "True" parameter in:

<Disabled>True</Disabled>

to "False".

That's all there is to it.

Of course - you have to create a proper DLL client that will work with FSX server, but that's a whole other topic.
