• 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.

Hello all,

I am writing a simconnect client in Visual Basic 2010 Express.
And SimConnect Open I Stumble upon some errors.
I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Try
fsx_simconnect = New SimConnect(" VB Managed Data Request", Me.Handle, WM_USER_SIMCONNECT, Nothing, 0)
Catch ex As Exception
Rem Failed to connect
End Try

The Error comes in at ( WM_USER_SIMCONNECT )

Can someone please help. :)
 
Do you have a Const defined somewhere called WM_USER_SIMCONNECT? There is a VB example in the SDK (Managed VB Data Request) that shows how to define this value (and the DefWndProc override required, etc).

No, I didn't realize I needed one.
Thanks!

And when I am using the SimConnect SDK. is there any need for a server computer for all connected clients or no?
