• 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.

Hi there, iam new here and don't know if this is the correct forum for my question.
i have build me external hardware (buttons, controls and others) when i push a button i can read out it with my programm (written with dotnet)
the push of the button should emulate a keystroke that would be send to fsx.
how can i handle it , becaue at the moment (works with sendkey) it doesn't work.
is there a way to send keystrokes to fsx (maybe with the software development kit)
greetings
 
If your external hardware outputs keystrokes through the keyboard interface then no additional software should be required. You can just map the keystrokes to the sim functions in the options.

Otherwise you can link SimConnect (see the SDK) to your dotnet program and send events to the sim when it detects button presses from your hardware.
