• 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.

I have had a bit of a dig but SimConnect is still pretty much a mystery to me :o I would like to understand how to capture a keystroke using managed code. For example if the user pressed 'W' in Sim how would I get that into an application so that I could respond to it?

Many thanks for any pointers :)
 
Hey Jon,

The function you want is MapInputEventToClientEvent(...). See the unmanaged sample "Input Event" in the SDK for general info on the use of this API call.

Thanks Tim
 
On the subject, I end up using managed directinput (this of course implies that the managed code runs on the same computer as the FSX computer).
