• 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 everyone, first I would like to introduce myself, I am a student of Information Systems,'m Brazilian and over 7 years in flight simulator fs2004, never abandoned this platform, however it is quite outdated. I come here to ask friends charitably, that can help me build the following project:
I want to create a mechanism to connect 2 players simultaneously on the same aircraft as FSX is able to do with the actual system Pilot and Copilot, there is a software called "FSNET" of fabrigantes "GATES.TO" though he is abandoned, and no longer works. I need you to help me much information because I do not know where to start, but I'm determined to do this project!
1) How to create an addon for fs2004? so that it is integrated in the Menu Bar of the simulator.

2) Which programming language to use so that I can develop this application?

3) Please advise me where to start? Of course studying but what?

4) What version of Visual Studio would recommend? Currently I use Visual Studio 2010.

Thank you for listening, and thank you too much already for your help, I hope to be part of this big family.
Hugs!
 
Hi Carlos.

You might download this:

fs2004_menu.zip

It's been a few years since I played with this, but basically, a menu item is a C++ gauge. For an ipc, most people would just use FSUIPC, to communicate between the sim and a dll or an external program. So for a menu item, you would probably need C++ as a language.
