• 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.

GPS Viewer Released

A companion to BlackBox2, GPS Viewer is a simple utility that generates xml code to display selected Microsoft Flight Simulator GPS variables while flying. It does not create a stand-alone gauge. Instead, the generated code must be pasted into the xml code of a host gauge that communicates with the gps.dll module.

GPS Viewer generates xml code in either FS9 or ACES format and can be used with FS9 / 2004 or FSX. It is a Microsoft Excel application that contains macros to drive Excel User Forms (input forms).

For those adventurous enough to begin working with the MSFS GPS module, this utility might help the debugging process.

It is freeware that can be dowloaded from http://www.robbiemcelrath.com/blackbox/?gpsv

Cheers,

Bob
 
V. 1.1

Version 1.1 now on the website. Slight modification that removes the "@c" abbreviation, eliminating GPSViewer's need for <Macro Name="c">C:fs9gps</Macro> to appear in the Host Gauge. Also lists "SET ONLY" variables for reference.
