• 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
I had installed MS FSX Delux version and MS FSX SDK in my PC. I copied the Simconnect.xml and Simconnect.ini(with debug=1) to the respective paths and made the configuraion. But when I'm running FSX, debug window is not showing. Also when I tried to connect using the sample program, It's getting connected, but the events are not getting triggered consistently. Sometimes it's getting the data,somtimes not getting.

Also I want to program my simconnect client such that it'll receive control states from FSX and run my own FDM and send latlonalt and attitude values to the FSX to position the aircraft. I'm confused whether to use an AI aircraft or the user aircraft. I'm a beginner in SimConnect Programming.

Please help me.

Thanks in Advance

With regards you second question, I have written an application to do just that. I used the user's own aircraft.

If you run your SimConnect client application on the same PC then there should be no additional SimConnect config setup required. It just works. (Or should do.) You only need to setup SimConnect.xml if you're running the client remotely.

If you want to test whether SimConnect is actually working or not, then try utilising an existing freeware application that takes advantage of it.

Hello,

on the first question, did you place a simconnect.ini in your documents folder that has console=yes, and level=verbose?

The console only shows on the server (the machine running FSX).

Cheers,

Etienne
