• 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.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum, but FSDeveloper.com looks like the place to be for flight entousiasts and programmers ;)

I've the following question... Sometimes, FSPassengers or XPax shows up a little message in a green bar at the top of the simulator itself... It's a message like
"All passengers aboard" or "*Safety Annoucement*"

Anyone knows how to do this? I've searched the internet for hours :(

Why not looking in the most obvious place, which is of course the FSX SDK documentation ?

Simconnect_text is the function you are looking for. This is of course FSX only, under FS9 a little bit of hacking was required.
 
Hi,

I did this with Beatles Simconnect (but I assume there is the same in the default Simconnect):

SimConnect.Text(SIMCONNECT_TEXT_TYPE.PRINT_RED, 3.0F, Requests.DisplaySetData, "your text")
