• 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 folks,
I want to create a external flight dynamics module and my question is what code you need to stop the internal fsx module and inject your own code.
Thx for your help!

In C/C++ you first call SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject() to ask FSX to create the object, then it will call back with the SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_ASSIGNED_OBJECT_ID message after it has been created (that also gives you the FSX object ID). Then call SimConnect_AIReleaseControl() to turn off AI control of that object, and call SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent() to that object with the messages FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET, FREEZE_ALTITUDE_SET and FREEZE_ATTITUDE_SET. That will turn off all physics processing.

Now you control the object and need to update its position and attitude with SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject() either as often as you can (though you probably don't need more than 60 times per second), or subscribe to the FSX SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_EVENT_FRAME event and send the updates in response to that.
