SimConnect was first introduced with Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Typically the components will perform one or more of the following:
* Add the processing for a new complex gauge, or other instrument, to Flight Simulator X. 
* Replace Flight Simulator X processing of one or more events with new logic. 
* Record or monitor a flight. 
* Extend the mission system of Flight Simulator X. 
* Create and set the flight plans for AI (non-user) aircraft. 
* Set different weather systems. 
* Enable new hardware to work with Flight Simulator X. 
* Control an additional camera that the user can optionally select to view. 


== Installation ==
SimConnect is an integral part of FSX.

When you install FSX RTM, SimConnect is installed as part of that process.

When you upgrade FSX RTM to SP1, SP2, or Acceleration/SP2, their related SimConnect versions are additionally installed as part of that process.

The SDK includes SimConnect ''msi'' packages for all FSX versions.
<br>
These ''msi'' packages are '''solely provided for use on a second PC''', (i.e. one without FSX installed),
<br>
to enable a client executable running thereon, to communicate with FSX running on your other PC.
