• 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.

MSFS20 API to fetch current lat/lon

Hi all

I'm a programmer from Switzerland and in awe with how gorgeous this new Flight Sim is. Yesterday I spend several hours flying around my hometown in the Swiss alps and could not stop taking screenshots simply because of how beautful the rendering of weather, landscape and airplanes is.

For an experimental project I'm wondering: is there an API to fetch the players current lat/lon, say from an external app? Or any way to retrieve the player's location?

Thanks, best
 
SimConnect or FSUIPC can send/receive positional information between an external app and the sim
 
yes and Simconnect ships with the 2020 SDK
