I need angular accelerations in roll, pitch, and yaw about body axes. I can't see them listed in the simulation variables - only linear accelerations. These are avaialble in FSUIPC but can't be written to which is what I need. Any ideas?

Hi guys. I have run in to a challenge with the program I'm developing using SimConnect and C#. As part of my application I need to periodically extract a list of all the airports and their info (lat / lon and so on). Therefore I can not use any of the awesome 3rd party softwares out there for it. I've looked at the Facility Request sample but the API reference in that one only gives me a radius of 200 km from which I can get airport data. I have gone through the entire documentation and I just can't find anything, so maybe this can not be done through SimConnect?? If not does anyone have som great ideas on how to do it? I really hope someone out there can help…

Hi, I should start by saying that I'm not a developer, just an end user but I'm posting here as I'm hoping someone might be able to shed light on this. My problem started (I thought) as a REXe issue, (and I have posted on their forum) but after spending all day trying to make things work I know think (know?) it's a Simconnect connection problem - if I can sort that I think I'm there!! As I was trying to get REXe working I've setup the .xml according to their instructions - which include setting the scope to LOCAL(?) and the port to 6600. I've tried all sorts of things to make Simconnect talk to the client PC (including lots of uninstalling/reinstalling - including…

Hi All, OK, I'm new to running FSX + addons on a network, so bear with me! My setup: 1. PC1-FSX 2. PC2- PlanG, REXe(weather) Everything runs just fine, weather injected into FSX and PlanG connects to FSX. Question 1 Do you have to state a different port for each program or is it the same port no matter how many client programs you are running? Is this correct <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0"> <Descr>SimConnect</Descr> <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename> <SimConnect.Comm> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Protocol&g…

Hi guys. I've been a long time lurker of this forum, and have gotten a lot of valuable info. But now I've gotten to the point where I need som help. I'm trying to build a small C# / SimConnect application to monitor a flight. I've have succesfully created the connection, added event listeners and read variables, but I can for the love of god not find an event that fires once the user airplane takes off or land. I've searched the documentation and a number of forums, but haven't found anything. Can anyone help? I've thought about reading the variable "alt above ground", and read it at invervals (very short intervals below 1000 ft), and then implement my action onc…

Hi All, I am having a rough time trying to get VAFS5 to read my location in FSX. The VAFS program reads that FSX is turned on and initially sees my correct geographic location but somehow the link between VAFS-Simconnect-FSX is broken in the preflight screen. I have tinkered with my Norton and tried everything with no firewall on etc. but to no avail. Weirdly enough, VAFS worked randomly for me 3 days ago but I did nothing different. I have no idea if VAFS's problem with discerning my location at the departure airport is related to FSUIPC or the program itself.. I do not know even where to begin in diagnosing and fixing Simconnect so I have turned to this forum hopefu…

Hello ! We are currently developing a C# application who retrieves real metar data, parse and inject in Weather Station of FSX using Simconnect in a radius of the current aircraft position. Most of datas request FSX are corectly parse and inject using the WeatherSetObservation. But we have some problems with others datas needed by FSX. Like in the exemple we tried to injec +VCTSRA but no change in FSX, we also tried others combinations fallowing the syntax : "IDDPP" as u can see in the SDK documentation. An other question, let's look on the SDK documentation : As u can see there is an extension : &BXXXX&DYYYY, so why sometimes we …

I am developing a Scope to MSFSX Storm, but I can not get the status of the cloud.I'm using SimConnect for data and function: SimConnect_WeatherRequestCloudStateBelow is the code, note that the "pWxData-> rgbData" is always zero.Please friends, can someone save me?I'am attached file in:http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?p=332033#post332033Thanks

I want to write a simple multiplayer FSX server so that users see each other planes. I assume i need to do this through simconnect? Anyone a piece of sample code?

Well, I had Simconnect working just fine. AS2012 and PlanG were both running on my Client and life was good. So, I did not run the client for about a month and when I attempted to run it again, suddenly Simconnect will no longer connect. I did some quick investigation and checking simconnect.xml on the server and simconnect.cfg on the client every thing look fine. I checked my server IP and discovered my IPv4 had changed, so I quickly edited the .xml and the .cfg and thought every thing would be fine. Wrong! I still cannot connect. Any ideas? Here are my Simconnect files: simconnect.xml p<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> &lt…

I have been flying online for a long time without any issue, having Ivap installed on a networked laptop as well as ASE. Recently I have started to have an issue: I cannot see other aircraft online around me (neither visually nor on TCAS), whilst they see me ok (aircraft and correct livery). I have read somewhere it might be a Simconnect issue caused by a sort of "congestion" of data between FSX PC and remote laptop (it looks like Ivap and ASE simultaneously tend to "clog" simconnect. Can anyone confirm this theory and, in case, suggest a fix ? Thanks Regards

Anyone got this working via Simconnect? PUSHBACK WAIT True if waiting for pushback. Bool N

I have operated ASE and SquwakBox with a two computer setup using SimConnect for some time. My modem and router have just now been upgraded and, while the computers are connected as usual, SimConnect won't connect (AI Traffic sample is dead). I can't remember what if anything I need to do with respect to the modem that would fix the problem and would very much appreciate any assistance anyone might be able to give me.Peter.

To All,During ~13 hour flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles Simconnect disconnected from AS2012 at about the 7 hour "mark". I was runningAS2012 on laptop and connected to FSX on PC via home network. Normally I don't have this issue; but lately this it has occurred twiceduring extended flights. Any ideas what might be causing this disconnection? And is there a way to (gracefully) refresh / reset the connection? Perhaps thereis some sort of log file that I could examine or ..................................Thank you,Ken Boardman

I have searched and read the forums regarding this topic. I am not sure where the actual problem lies. So far I have installed the SDK on the Sever (FSX machine) and Client. I have updated all the way to SP2 as this is what SP I have in FSX.I am sharing these files.Users/xxx/AppData/roaming/microsoft/fsxUsers/xxx/Documents/Microsoft Flight Simulator X Files andThe main FSX folder from the default install location.The files can be viewed, written to and saved from the client. However, ASE gives me a database update error and states that the sharing component is not setup properly. Not sure how that is. Been running ASE with FS9 for 2 years! Because of this error, I …

Is it possible to trap only the "CTRL" key by itself to see if the user pressed it?I'm not having much luck...I can trap "CTRL + C" or just ''C", with no problems using Simconnect.But not CTRL all by itself.Any ideas?Cheers,

I have AS2012 running on a client machine but I cannot get it to connect to FSX.Simconnect appears to be working as I get no errors and the AS1202 status windows says "Simconnect found and initialized".The AI Traffice.exe test runs perfectly on the server.I can export a flight plan from AS2012 to the FSX server and I can install AS2012 graphics to the FSX server.I've checked that all the file shares are correct and that the port number and IP address match in the .xml and .cfg files.Also, I am running Plan-g on the client BTW and it connects to FSX via Simconnect without problems which tells me that I have Simconnect installed properly.So I'm stumped as to why AS2012 wi…

I'm about to flip my lid over this Simconnect business. I run FSX on my W7 'server' PC. I wish to use ASE and GEPro from a W7 'Client' laptop. My laptop sees and opens all the drives on the server, and vice versa. I can transfer files from one to the other without problems. My FSX install is De Luxe with Acceleration. I downloaded and installed the SP1A update. I followed the detailed instructions in the ASE installation guide and believe I have all the files where they ought to be:1. SimConnect.xml on Server in /Roaming/Microsoft/FSX (same folder as fsx.cfg)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?><SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">…

Quick question, I'm using the default port 6600 for Simconnect.Does this need to be forwarded on my router through my server pc (the one running FSX) or my client laptop (the one running everything else; ASE, EFB, FSCommander, etc)?Also is it a TCP or UDP port?

I'm trying to get started on FSX coding using SimConnect but ran into some problem. I wan't to receive information when the users flying in FSX pass some gates I've placed in a mission I created. The mission is constructed as one of the default tutorials where the users is instructed to fly through gates that are green and they will turn red when the user passes the gate. I get the desired behavior in the mission but I only receive information about the first action being executed in FSX, not the following.I tell SimConnect that I want to receive information about when Actions are executed like this: (same way as in the Sample Mission Action for that matter) hr = SimConn…

This is an odd problem. Firstly, I have flown FSX for some time with support programmes such as SquawkBox, FS Commander, Plan - G etc etc running on a networked computer. In each case eithet via Wide Fs or SimConnect I have managed to sort things out.Recently I have been looking for a real weather programme - I am not too worried about eye candy, but I would like fairly accurate metars in terms of QNH, wind speed, vis etc. FSX real weather fills a gap but its updates lead to vast increases in speed or huge instant alt jumps even with FSUIPC smoothing.About to buy ASE 2012 when I found FSRealWX as freeware - using FSUIPC in either FS9 or FSX - it works well. But when t…

Hello Guys !...never had a problems. I use Simconnect with "FSWidges" which is a flying bug an d moving map. Last night I loaded the FSWidges & got a message " Can't find Simconnect" ... I loaded the application from another Client and got the same message, I assume that there is some issue on the FSX Server side of simconnect, I checked the XML file and it looks normal. Any idea ????????Appreciate any help !Yair

Hello:I am running two computers networked with WIN 7. The networking is ok and folder are shared (everyone).FSX including SP1 and SP2 have been installed the correct way in a folder - C: Drive FS 10. This folder is shared.ASE SP3 (latest version) is installed on the client on the C: Drive in a folder called active sky evolution. This folder is shared.ASE is requesting that I need to install FSX SP1 or SP2 sim connect.I checked my main computer where FSX is installed & in the X86 folder the three sim connect DDL files are there. This folder is also shared.I have no idea!!!! Can someone help me please. Thank you, Iain
