• 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.

Setting AI Flap position

Hi All,

I use SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject() with the SIMCONNECT_DATA_INITPOSITION to initialised position of a AI controlled aircraft, and it works fine.
I am also able to inject a flight plan using SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject() with DEFINITION_WAYPOINT and its fine.

Now I would like to setup the Flaps in the full extended position, however, although I feel that I should use the FLAPS HANDLE INDEX I am lost in the SDK htlm compiled documentation :(

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks ;)

Oh yes sure. You must use the SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition() and then SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject() to set it at your convenience. Below are the corresponding parts of the code. See the RequestData.cpp code for more details.

Code: 
....
static enum DEFINITION_ID {
	DEFINITION_FLAPS,
};
....
.....
// Adding flpas definition
hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_FLAPS, "FLAPS HANDLE INDEX", "number", SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE_INT32);
....
....
// Setting the flaps	
int fl = 3;
hr = SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_FLAPS, AH1SID1, 0, 0, sizeof(fl), &ft);

Bye
