• 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, I have just started to try and create a program which will get the position of the users aircraft (lat/long) but I don't know what function to use to get the position, this is probably the most stupid question asked on here so far, but as I said I'm new to it all =]

What language are you using to create your program?
 
Well that is quite important since the language you use affects the way you access the data. If you plan to use C++ then there are plenty of examples in the SDK for Simconnect.
 
In that case I'll use C++, which function would I use, would SIMCONNECT_DATA_LATLONALT or SIMCONNECT_DATA_MARKERSTATE be used?
 
i use managed code so I am not the best person to ask. I am sure there are examples in the SDK though.
