• 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.

Thoughts

Yes, exactly... when I look at FS, I see incredible developers, and a manager with zero damn biz imagination... thats what I think happened to FS, what a waste!

Anyway sometimes a little code speaks more than words... this is some of the stuff that my 2004 SDK can do, probably nothing that the X SDK cant already do... but this is a free SDK on FS2004.

To use the 2004 SDK, open your favorite coding language, in this case C# and go!
Code below is a recording test from the SDK (still a work in progress... )

Code: 
using FS2004;

namespace FS2004_SDK_GENIE
{
    public partial class RecorderTest : Form
    {
        public RecorderTest()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        Genie fs = new Genie();
        private void buttonStart_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Record Game from local machine to disk
            fs.recordFSStation_Start(new Uri(""), "E:\\FSDATA\\testData.fsr");

            //More examples
            //Record Game from remote machine to local disk
            fs.recordFSStation_Start(new Uri("http://10.0.0.3"), new Uri("http://10.0.0.3"));

            //Record Game from remote machine to another remote machine
            //ie Put one player in another players cockpit
            fs.recordFSStation_Start(new Uri("http://10.0.0.3"), new Uri("http://10.0.0.2"));
        }

        private void buttonStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Stop current recording session
            fs.recordFSStation_Stop();
        }
    }
}

I'll post snippets if people are really interested... then when ready, I'll just dump the FS 2004 SDK to some site.
 
...and presumably the 'Miracle' happens in the Genie Class ;)
 
The Genie class is just the interface to the SDK (client side server), there are many classes naturally, streaming engines, network engines etc… but it’s a single app… which has a user interface (if started) “and” the SDK interface for coders… if you get what I’m trying to say…

Now the client side SDK is for programmers to get at the engine, but there is also a server, which naturally the entrepreneur hangs onto, and this allows cool things to happen if the player so wishes…

SDK for coders its independent of the server… all they need is the SDK to do there magic, but this also gives the player an interface… if you see what I mean…

So once that SDK is on the machine… the player can also press say an information button… if desired… and now the central server kicks in and what the player sees is this (for example)

You are now flying over the Vatican… it’s the smallest state in the world.
Did you know the Pope is a German.
If you look out your left window, you will see the door where choir boys come and go… in 2005, they saw a call girl leaving… so maybe this Pope is normal… ha ha ha ha

And that is the biz end of this animal… if you think about it.
So Players get a free tool, coders get a free tool, and some entrep makes some serious money... (the server).

Imagination… that’s all FS needs.
MS killed it… I’m bringing it back from the dead
Trying to…

Now if Simconnect suddenly becomes a Genie... that would be amazing on a an "abandoned" product ;)
