• 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.

Moving to code SP1

I've updated my SimConnect app for SP1 and was not surprised when it stopped working as it did pre-SP1. After a little investigation I found that MS have made very subtle changes that broke whole routines.

Two I have found are:
  • When sending waypoints, pre-SP1 you sent the size of the array, now you send the size of the elements. This caused failure of objects to move along the path.
  • When requesting data, the period SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_SIM_FRAME has been removed and replaced by SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_ON_SET.

Don't you mean "SIMCONNECT_CLIENT_DATA_PERIOD_ ..."? The normal Sim Var data periods are the same as they were before, viz:

// Object Data Request Period values
enum SIMCONNECT_PERIOD {
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_NEVER,
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_ONCE,
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_VISUAL_FRAME,
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_SIM_FRAME,
SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_SECOND,
};
