• 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 FSX vs MSFS SimConnect

Given a FSX app, that uses FSX simconnect to exchange data with FSX, if that app was run along side MSFS instad of FSX, assuming it did not do a verson check of the MSFS simconnect (in iys exe's folder) , (or if the MSFS simconnect was changed to have a FSX simconnect version # ) would it stand any chance of running ??

Same applies if the app could use FSUIPC instead of simconnect ?

Or would the whole FSX Simconnect App need to be re-written and compiled to work with MSFS's simconnect ??
 
I know that my FSX app will connect to MSFS, but since the simconnect SDK is not fully functional, my app does not work.

I also think you need FSX SP1/accel for it to work. Not sure if you can use P3D SDK.
