• 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,

it seems that I am the only one programming in VB:confused:
Does somebody have an email of "Russdirks". He wrote the Sample in the wiki for VB.

I really want to see again my coordinates...
I saw it two time, but now he only replies that he can not find data...

Thanks for your help
 
Why not give VB.Net a go? That way you can use the SimConnect SDK. The basics are the same and you can get the free Visual Studio Express. I've just moved from .Net to C++, and I think you will find fewer people using vb 'classic' now.
 
Hi,

I still have alot projects in VB6 and now time to look at in VB.net.
We are scenery Designers and have several tools and programs for us and our customers to have more configurations of our products. In our last product we included a mapviewer, and with FSUIPC you could also see your plane in the map. After you need a registered version alot customers complained, because I did not deliver a version which worked for free.
Now I try to this job in FSX via Simconnect.

Why didn't you simply come to an arrangement with me for a license and an application key then? I never charged very much, especially for low profit margin shareware -- just an amount suggested by the programmer/publisher as fair. If my software enables you to make something work faster or easier than otherwise, saving you time, isn't that worth a little? Yet you didn't even inquire? :-(

Sorry Pete,

I did not think that it is a problem, because alot simmers use your FSUIPC. But I need to read Latitude/Longitude and this is not possible with an unregesterd version. For that I only made a mistake in product Management...
