• 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 All,
I'm develop on .NET managed (VB,C# VStudio 2008, fsx sp2), a application for interface FSX with hardware, using function TransmitClientEvent on ap_vs_var_set_english variable set the VS on sim, is all ok if value positive but if is negative I could ble set the parameter because dwdata is declared uinteger (not sign).

Has anyone successfully used this function for negative values, and if yes HOW !!!!!!!

Thanks in advance.

The parameter value is interpreted inside FS in the way it is needed. Just cast it in the call. Or doesn't VB allow casts? If not you would need to compute the equivalent unsigned value -- i.e. 2^32 + your negative number, or to keep it in 32 bits 0xFFFFFFFF + (the negative vs) + 1.

Sorry, I know 0xFFF... isn't VB format. $ perhaps?

Yes, of course. There are numerous events which need signed numbers -- not just VS, but obvious things like aileron, elevator, rudder, reverse thrust.
