• 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.

Use of POV (hat switch) in SimConnect (MSFS, P3Dv5)

I'm able to program any axis or button for SimConnect MSFS and P3Dv5 events, using the input code: "joystick:1:button:10" or "joystick:1:XAxis" for instance, in the 'SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent()' function.

However, I have a problem using the POV (hat switch) positions in P3Dv5, and strangely in MSFS too.
If I use the required code, "joystick:1:pOV:0" (the '360' POV forward position), or any other position as "joystick:1:pOV:18000" (the '180' aft position) to program different actions, SimConnect will detect any POV motion as one input.
So pullng the POV backwards ('180') will trigger the '360' forward position programmed event too.

Here is a sample of a POV position programming from the MSFS or P3D SDK:
hr = SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent(hSimConnect, INPUT_1, "joystick:0:pOV:0", EVENT_3);

and the POV programming instructions of the same MSFS SDK:
POVPoint of view switch (often called the hat switch).0 facing ahead 4500 forward right 9000 right 13500 rear right 18000 rear 22500 rear left 27000 left 31500 forward left

Am I missing something with this POV syntax?
Thanks!
