• 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,
trying to compile an FSX utility for MSFS, a friend faces this issue:

From my side it looks like the external functions are described well in the simconnect.h but not found in the simconnect.lib
Is it possible that simconnect sdk is bugged that way or is there a trick I can tell him ?

Thank you
 
Simconnect does work, but it is not fully developed. The FSX version might work in MSFS. You may need to copy the FSX Simconnect DLL to the root folder of the app (or maybe not). Worth a try.
 
Yes it works. Has your friend setup the correct dependecies?

SDK Documentation

docs.flightsimulator.com docs.flightsimulator.com

If something is not supported in MSFS (such as the menu functions) it won't create a problem, they simply will not do anything.

I'd recommend installing the MSFS SDK after installing Visual Studio 2019 and making sure it installs the extensions for C++

Then, can your friend load and compile one of the samples?
