• 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.

Simconnect and vb.net

Hi,

I want to write a simple program for fsx that you can see your position, altitude and your landing rate.
Now I am quite new with the Simconnect options. I work with vb.net in VS2012. I looked at the sample, and I understand somethings. But I don't know how to "read" the tutorial. For example, the SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition. I have to use it in VS. Could someone explain that?
 
I am not sure you can use vb.net with SimConnect... either case SDK samples only contain C++ and some limited C# code.
 
According to the SDK you can

...if the managed API calls are being used, any .NET language such as C#.net or VB.net.
Click to expand...

The SDK has a section dealing with managed code and a managed VB Data Request sample.

Having said that, I've no idea how. I only use C++ and also avoid managed applications.
 
Yes okay, but C++ is for me more difficult. And also I want a program with user interface. And maybe I have to learn C# if you can more with that and simconnect.
But what I don't understand is, you see a lot of things with code in the manual. But I have no idea what what is. Okay, I now know how to make how I can connect with a button to FSX, but not more than that. I and I see no where some tutorial how to use al those simconnect "rules" code.
 
ah thank you. This is a lot better. Okay it's not simconnect but FsUIPC. But oke, FSUIPC is also great!
