I've got SimConnect up and running, and can pull in data (Altitude, Indicated Altitude, etc.) and I can send events back to the simulator to unpause the simulation - so I know the connection is up and working and my basic method of sending events seems to be correct, but for the life of me I can't adjust the altimeter settings. The SEND_UNPAUSE works fine, but the INC_ALTIMETER has no effect. I've tried it with both Transmits and with each one separately with the same results. Thanks in advance for any help. Here is the code I'm using (C#): ... (Declarations) enum EVENTS { INC_ALTIMETER, SEND_UNPAUSE }; …

Cheers, For my FS group I've been trying to develope an app that uses System_Text to show each player who is talking whenever someone uses the radio (over a single frequency or broadcasts (using Shft+CAPS)). I have been successfully able to identify both the single frequency (MP_VOICE_CAPTURE_START) and all frequency broadcast (MP_BROADCAST_VOICE_CAPTURE_START) events after mapping them to SimEvents (code below). The problem I'm having is that these events are only tripped when the client running the applciation is the one who uses the radio. Whenever another player on the network talks, none of the events are triggered. Private Sub initialize() .... …

Hello all I'm recently learning to write my own program such that I can have a set of PCs linked together to generate a wide view in the flight. However, since most clouds are generated at random in every PC, they do not appear the same on different screens. So my question is, is there any solution to sove this problem, or is there any tips that may help me to improve my program? Thank a lot!

I recently installed FSX (Acceleration - v10.0.61637) from the microsoft xbox direct download site: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Produ ... 044d530935 I see that the SDK installed as well, but am having problems connecting with simconnect from a PC client (to run AS2012), and also the 'Tools' menu bar does not display in FSX during a flight as I've read it should if everything is set up correctly. This makes me think my SDK version is not compatible with my current FSX version. There are some good articles out there how to install the SDK service packs and updates to align with FSX version, but all require you to have the installation cds, which I don't h…

I am not a programmer and know nothing of C++ but would like to amend an XML gauge file for the saitek FIP by adding to it so as it adds a prompt (text "AUTO") when the autorudder is ON. I have got some existing script designed for a light activating (image shifting from off screen to on screen) when flaps are full down and have altered x and y and image name and size accordingly. Can someone please advise what the <Value> line needs to be to detect value as 1 when autorudder is activated or will this approach not work for autorudder. I am hoping this is possible as I use the rocker switches on the saitek throttles all for events where pressing = on and press again…

I know that Plan-G can be ran on a separate machine via Simconnect. What other applications can? I re-acquired my old E6600 machine from the kids and would like to put it to use supporting FSX. I'm not looking to purchase WideFS at this time, so I am only looking at applications that work across the network via Simconnect. Thanks, Ernie

I have a fresh installation of FSX and Acceleration. I was getting "Can't Init SimConnect Error!" on startup, followed by Fatal Error. After much repairing and reinstalling of FSX/Acc/W7-64, that message has gone but nothing that uses SimConnect shows up. A SimConnect test says "Connection to Flight Simulatot via SP2 SimConnect FAILED. Seek assistance in repairing FSX Win SxS subsystem." This is way out of my expertise so I'm hoping an answer may be found here. edit: I've also discovered that I have two Simconnect .dll 124733 and 185120. Should there be three? Rob.

Attached are details of the error i've just started receiving using Simconnect for FS Economy and AS2012 on a client PC. Other apps are simultaneously using WideFS and FSUIPC. The error is a Microsot .NET error and I don't have a clue of what this means and it occurs about 50% of the time. There is also a separate Windows error that satest there are two computers with the same IP address, which is not the case. Can some advise what this means? Many thanks for any information Client - Windows 7 64 (Dell) Server - Windows 7 64 (Jetline) Les Parson

I really need help as I'm out of ideas. The details are: When loading the F1 Mustang I get the error 'Simconnect Blocked'. Neither my Goflight nor Aivalsoft Data Program will connect with FSX. I re-installed FSX and the same problem persist. Yesterday I re-installed Windows 7 then FSX and the problem continues. I did follow Nick's guide on Simforum for the re-install. Has anyone experienced this problem and a solution? I did remove the overclock before re-installing. Any suggestions will be appreciated and thank you! Bob

I'm trying to add a new feature to the sample app that comes with the NGX SDK (code) if (pS->PED_annunParkingBrake == false) { printf("\nParking Brake: [OFF]"); }else{ printf("\nParking Brake: [ON]"); } Just to keep it simple let's say I'm adding the above block into ProcessNGXData() // This function is called when NGX data changes The problem is it doesn't seem to notice when the parking brake status changes as I only get the initial state. In the same way I was able to read the status of some other systems like the landing gears, but failing with this one. Would really appreciate any help.

Hi I was wondering if there are any examples, or instructions anywhere which show exactly how transmit and receive sim data ie altitude, lon, lat, plane roll etc to and from a port using UDP or TCP? Basically I need to know how to take SIM data send it to a port in a udp or tcp packet and receive packet data from a port. Thanks for your help in advance.

Simconnect installed on server apparently correctly as it passes the FSX-SDK connection test. The single client (both server & client Window 7). appears to be the problem - I installed Simconnect.cfg in MyDocuments folder and ran the Windows .msi installer. When starting AS2012 the error states - "Simconnect Client SP2 Not Found and "You must have FSX SP1 or SP2 SimConnect Client. I was able to locate FSX SDK SP1A thanks to an Avsim forum post and not fsinsider.com. The SP1A update also fails stating the original release of SDK is required which I have done. I don't know which version is included on Disc 1 in the FSX Gold.

I realize there is a separate Simconnect forum, but I've had no response to my posts there. Could someone please provide a simple, basic 1-2-3- step by step installation of Simconnect and what needs to be done to the Server and Client? Spending the whole day on this confusing program with conflicting and confusing information is maddening. thanks very much. Les Parson

I have just launched FSXDB.com. The goal is simple "Fast FSX Airport Search". I feel it's a great online resource for browsing/searching all the Airports in FSX. Some Examples @ FSXDB.com Did you know there are airports with Plank, Steel Matt, Brick and Coral Surfaces? Some interesting airport names: The Funny Farm, To Short, Beer, Bong, Answered Prayer, You can search Microsoft Flight Simulator X airport data by ICAO Code, Airport Name, Country, City, State, Runway Length, Elevation, Surface Type. Details page includes Runways, Com, VOR, NDB Frequencies and a Google Map. Looking for developer for an FSX addon to integrate with this site. See details here.

I am trying to get weights and inertias using Simconnect. The following snippet results in the correct total weight but zero for the MOI. But, I get the correct empty weight if I replace "Total Weight Pitch MOI" by "Empty Weight" and "Slugs per feet squared" by "Pounds" in the second call while making no other changes whatsoever to the the remainder of the code. Any ideas what's wrong with the call? Code: SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DATA_INERTIA_DATA, "Total Weight", "Pounds"); SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DATA_INERTIA_DATA, "Total Weight Pitch MOI", …
