• 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 everyone:
I'm trying to develop an app that run PFD and MFD on another PC, using simconnect to transport data between P3D and APP.
So far , I complete most of PFD and MFD functions but navigation system by using QT 4.5.
Although I could recive longitude and latitude from simconnect , but I don't know how to deal with the maps.
My question is where should I download the mapdata and how to realize navigation system like G1000.
I should using which SDKs and tools ?

By the way , where can I download MS ESP 1.0 SDK? I've found it everywhere.
Thanks a lot.

You can use simconnect to extract aircraft positional information, but you cant use it to display moving maps. You will have to develop your own moving map projections, navigation database and etc.

The SDK for ESP is outdated if you are developing for P3DV4 and above. You can google the P3D SDK easily.

Not really. Usually done by payware companies for their projects but they don't release that kind of info publically. The developer of WebSimConnect might be able to help out though....
