• 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 want to developp my very first application using simConnect (till now I use FSUIPC), but I encounter some troubles with simConnect.h file in my environment. I use Visual C++ 2008 Express and buid a "console" projet. The project contains only the main file which is:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "simConnect.h"


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
return 0;
}

When I try to compile this, I get a lot or errors in the simConnect.h included file, saying for example:

DWORD type not declared,
BYTE type not declared,
GUID type not declared,
HANDLE type not declared,
MAX_PATH not found
or error in the following déclarations:
#if !defined(SIMCONNECTAPI)
#define SIMCONNECTAPI extern "C" HRESULT __stdcall
#endif


typedef void (CALLBACK *DispatchProc)(SIMCONNECT_RECV* pData, DWORD cbData, void* pContext);


SIMCONNECTAPI SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(HANDLE hSimConnect, SIMCONNECT_CLIENT_EVENT_ID EventID, const char * EventName = "");

I could put the error messages, bit unfortenately there are in french...

Can someone help ?

Best regards.

Hello,

Looking at some other C sources projects using simConnect.h, I have included some more files such as

#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>
#include "stdio.h"
#include "strsafe.h"

before

#include "simConnect.h"

and now, it compiles and link normaly !
