• 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 would like to know if it's possible to get data for all user(multiplayer users) in my FSX server ?

I have seen that SimConnect_RequestDataOnSimObjectType get data within a specified radius, it's possible to get data for all users without a radius ?

SimConnect_RequestDataOnSimObjectType is the right function to do what i want ?

thx for all.
 
Hi,

I use RequestDataOnSimObjectType to request data for all IA traffic. It works allright. I guess it will also works with multiplayer too.

There is a maximum radius of 200 km (200000).

I think if you subscribe to system events ObjectAdded and ObjectRemoved you will be able to capture the ids and then poll the ids for the data you want.

Alas, there is no way within simconnect to associate this data with the players Gamespy or login name.

Technically true (not possible via SimConnect), but if you branch out to use ITrafficInfo (the FS9 header works just fine in FSX) you can use GetPlayerName() to accomplish this.
 
Hi Adiemus,

So finally is it possible to get information about Multiplayer Aircraft with SimConnect using ITrafficInfo :eek:

Could you please give us some technical details how to use GetPlayerName() within a SimConnect C++ application for exemple ? I didn't catch you :(

By the way, is it possible to retrieve data (like altitude for exemple) on multiplayer aircraft using the SimConnect_RequestDataOnSimObject function as one does for AI aircraft ?

Thanks a lot in advance ;)
