• 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.

Does anybody know of any straightforward Simconnect tutorials? I can't grasp much by trying to read the enormous document that came with the SDK. The URLs to Simconnect tutorials I found on similar forum posts were all broken:confused:
 
First, you might want to specify what language you would program in.

I can't be of more help as C++ isn't my language of choice. But the simple examples in the SDK should be of help.

Ok thanks!:)
One last question (hopefully) where exactly should I place the EXE.xml, DLL.xml and SimConnect.xml files? The Simconnect overview tells me:
Ensure the EXE.xml, DLL.xml files and SimConnect.xml files are in the <Drive>:\Documents and Settings\<alias>\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX folder, and edit these files according to the instructions that follow
...But I have Vista...

[EDIT]
Never mind... The Search Engine in Vista is terrible I found it manually in 2 seconds under: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX
