MS FSX | FSX=SE | P3D Simconnect Forum

Please see my post: http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=150332&page=I encountered these problems after installing the SimConnect SDK, SDK SP1a and networking the server and client computers to run ASX.I am wondering if there is a problem with SimConnect.CFG and SimConnect.INI and SimConnect.DLL's interfering with the PMDG, Level D and TrackIr products causing FSX to crash.Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to this post.Regards,

Does anyone know of a third party tool that will use the Microsoft SimConnect API to look at subcomponents of performance inside of FSX while it is running? I'm referring to numbers of trees, numbers of buildings, numbers of vertexes, and other objects that directly impact FSX fps. If I could just get some objective measurement of which resource is out of control this might give me clues about a solution to my performance issues. Who makes a performance monitor product that will at least monitor- CPU usage on each processor core- system memory usage- CPU and memory utilization for FSX.EXEand save that basic information to disk for later playback? Task Manager isn…

I have just completed the first phase prototype of a G1000/GPS500/Audio Panel using the excellent Beta Innovations GammaTron and Simconnect. This is a test bed for a complete G1000 solution using an LCD monitor in the future. I wanted to make sure I have all the pieces in place prior to going further with the project.Simconnect is very nice, Event ID's are easy to use and much less cryptic then offsets. I have currently incorporated Beta Innovations SDK into a C++ program that is both XP and Vista compatible. Currently, assignments are hard coded, however I am working on an interface to allow modification without re-compiling. The device and driver works great. I wi…

Hi, I am searching for a little bit of advice regarding an application that I'd like to come up with.A friend of mine can record his flights in soar planes as GPS tracks, similar as one can record a flight in FSX. Now we would like to replay these flights in FSX so that one can watch for example an AI aircraft repeat that very flight.Two problems arise here: - how to extrapolate credible yaw, pitch, roll of the aircraft from a series of Lat, Lon, Altitude values?- how to control AI aircraft through SimConnect?Maybe someone can help me out a little with ideas and input. It

Well, this is my first post here so please be gentle. I am having some problems connecting to FSX via simconnect through my home network from my laptop to my main FSX machine. Just to save some bandwidth, here is what I have tried.I have tried to get FSMap and FSEarth to work with no success.I have installed TCPMon to verify that the connect request get through the firewall. For example, when I connect through FSMap configured to use port 500, I see the connection attempt on my FSX (the server machine) from the client but FSX does not repsond. The errors indicate that there is no listener on port 500.I even temporarily installed Apache web server and was able to run it su…

Whenever I use SetDataOnSimObject to set the brakes, they go to full on regardless of the value I pass in. I've tried +ve, -ve, 0 and fractional values. Everything sets the brakes full on. Also if I try to set only one brake, they both get set at the same time. The SDK sez that this variable is a percent, then states that it is 0=off 32K=on. This doesn't seem consistent. Any ideas?Thanks

For some reason (It's hard to explain) , I've deleted the simconnect folder from winsxs folder in my PC (currently running window vista home basic) . Unfortunately , I'm now want those simconnect back , but I can't >< I've been re-install all FSX , SP1 .... but those simconnect folder inside winsxs still missing .Can anyone tell me how to get it back like before ?

Hello.I'm trying to learn the jist of events in simconnect and am confused a bit with what I expect the code to do versus what it actually does. I've put this together (mostly a copy) from the managed code samples for c#. (code is below)The confusion I'm seeing is:1. when I click on the pitot switch in FSX, PITOT_HEAT_TOGGLE event fires fine. What I don't see is the PITOT_HEAT_ON event firing when the heat acutally gets turned on.2. I have a command button that turns on the pitot heat ok but fires neither event. I know the pitot heat gets turned on because I see the switch to the ON position in FS. I expected to see 2 events fired.Can someone who is more experienced pl…

I am testing out SimConnect using the SDK sample Application AI Traffic. On the client side, it says that it is connected to FSX and received 2 AI AC, and it says that it is creating AI objects. But on the FSX side, I have logging enabled and a console window up and nothing is coming across the log or console. I have FSX SP1 installed. It is indicating the correct version on the SimConnect Console Window... 10.0.61242.0. Do I need to remove the other SimConnect RTM folder?I have tried reinstalling via the FSX CD and repair and then re-applied SP1 (via Pete Dowson's instructions on a forum thread, removing the simconnect folders and repair via FSX CD.)Any ideas?ThanksBar…

HiI just got FSX Standard and I'd like to get down and dirty with the API and do some interoperability with Excel and other programs.I have Visual C# Express but I can't find any references that work to get access to the FSX API.Can you please point me in the right direction? The fsinsider.com developer section didn't have any beginner tips, and I'm not even sure if I can actually do developing on FSX standard since the SDK only comes with FSX deluxe.Thanks

... in SimConnect, that is ;)The following is a problem that I am struggling with. At first, it seems straightforward, but the behavior boggles me:First - we all know that, by default, INS and ENTER keys on the NumPad (rudder keys) do the same thing as a Z Axis on a joystick with a twisting handle (and the rudder pedals, if so equipped). When I press any of them, the rudder moves - no big whoop.Next - I have a simple SimConnect app that gets notified of the rudder event. I press the INS and ENTER, and the app gives me event notifications. I see rudder move on the aircraft, and the pedals are moving in the VC. However, using a joystick, I see rudder moving on the aircraft …

I wonder if it is possible to connect a datafile to FSX via SimConnect??The datafile contains lines with a textstring (name of location) and Latitude and Longitude for that location. These data should be handled over to FSX where the text-label are going to be written at the proper place (defined bu latitude and longitude) so the users can see the name of the relevant locations as they fly by the location in FSX. A program like FSDiscover can write the textlabels like that. Best RegardsLars

Hi,Not sure if its possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway!I am currently helping to develop FS Water Configurator, a freeware program that alters the FSX water shader file through a GUI. Basically, you change settings for reflection intensity etc. clear the shader cache and start FSX. The shader cache then gets rebuilt with your changes.We are trying to discover a way to do this on-the-fly with the sim running. FSX will rebuild its shader cache if you alt-tab from full screen mode to the desktop and then back, but not in windowed mode or without the alt-tab.My question is: is there a way to make FSX rebuild the shader cache through simconnect? Maybe force a graphics rebu…

Hi all,I am very new to Simconnect. Also not the best programmer. I can manage with Delphi but seeing simconnect made me download Visual C++ Express Edition. It's not easy and I find it hard to get on track.What I want to do is eventually use simconnect with the Level-D 767. (It ships with an SDK kit) Why? I like to make a procedure trainer with C++ that connects to FSX - LevelD and tracks status / progress/ swithes etc. I just don

Hi all,I've spent most of the past 2 days looking for a way to disable the joystick axis via SimConnect but it doesn't seem to want to work !Here's the code for the X axis:if (SUCCEEDED(SimConnect_Open(&hSimConnect, "A300 Event", NULL, 0, 0, 0))){SimConnectOpen = true;//I use this event to change the state of the axis hr = SimConnect_SubscribeToSystemEvent(hSimConnect, EVENT_1HZ, "1sec");hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect, EVENT_XAXIS); hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(hSimConnect, GROUP_JOYSTICK, EVENT_XAXIS);hr = SimConnect_SetNotificationGroupPriority(hSimConnect, GROUP_JOYSTICK, SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_HIGHEST_MASKAB…

HI guys...most of what I am reading here is way over my head. But, I did a search of my hard drive and found three separate simconnect.dllsthey are numbered 60905, 61355 and 60637.I have both FSX sp1 and sp2 installed. My specific problem is an inability to get simconnect to run with FSINN Copilot. FSINN and Copilot do not load, but otherwise FSX seems to be performing normally. btw, I am also using FSUIPC version 4.25, unregistered version. Any help is appreciated. I should add that I did a complete reinstall of FSX because of some other issues. I am also using XP Home with SP 1,2 and SP3 Release Candidate. Before I had my meltdown simconnect was loading normally with th…

Hi!I have problem with connecting the ADE (Airport Design Editor) to the FSX/SP2. When I try to connect an error message is shown (translated from Swedish): "HRESULT E_FAIL" is returned when calling a COM-component. I have asked the creator of the ADE, but the problem remains.I have installed all the FSX patches (I belive): SP1, SP1a and SP2.One thing I have observed is that the FSX versions, shown in the about box says: 10.0.61472.0 (fsx-sp2.20071210-2023), has no matching installed simconnect version. Under the Windows/WinsSxS folder is:x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424…

Hi all,When moving the curser over one the the control knobs - heading, altitude - I got a white screen for several seconds. Any ideas? I know, at least it's not a CTD.Running a 3.4Gz Core Duo, 2 gb ram and a 7600GS 512mgThanks

I just looked through the messages posted on the support forum for my add-on and realized that most of the time my business is helping people getting their SimConnect working.Okay, probably 90% of my customers never make it to the board, but most of the issues reported are related to SimConnect, some of the things I've encountered:- People with SP1 installed, but no SP1 SimConnect.dll in the SXS folder- People with SP1, DLL present, still getting the missing 'assembly exception'. I myself ran into this one too after uninstalling FSX+SP1 and doing a fresh FSX+Acceleration install.- Working SimConnect connections, but my client does not receive the key events nor exceptions…

Hi,for those who have followed this thread in the past, it was about being able to dynamically load SimConnect. This way, I can have a gauge that runs both in FS9 and FSX without recompilation:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...g_id=969&page=2Now it seems I've found an issue with SimConnect/FSX that prevents it to load the right version.While debugging the class mentioned above, I realized the SP1 SimConnect was loading and not the SP2 SimConnect. I've been searching for a while the reasons behind this, and I discovered something:the SP2 manifest is valid in my code, however, the SP2 manifest also has a dependency on the VC8 runtime library: "Microsoft.VC80.…

I have my server computer running Vista Ultimate, FSX with Sp1, SimConnect installed to Sp1, my Client running XP Pro Sp2, SimConnect installed to Sp1. I have run the test program AI Traffic and it shows connected to Flight Simulator. ASX starts up and downloads weather but it does not send the data to FSX and FSX does not send data to ASX. This has been the problem I have had with FS Widgets for FSX also. The programs connect but no data transfer happens. On my Main Screen in ASX it goes through the download and all but never sends the data to FSX. I am thinking it is a XP/Vista communications issue of some sort. I have the SimConnect.XML and SimConnect.CFG files set up …

Hi All,Is anybody currently using the "new" FSMAP programme by Thomas of Aerosoft??.I want to run this programme from my laptop so as to free up any additional load on the main PC.Unfortunately I cannot get the laptop to "talk" to the FSX m/c using simconnect.. I have followed his instructions but to no avail.YES i did go on the website forum & asked for advice..while Thomas tried to help it was all a case of try this & try that.. I'm not knocking Thomas at all but I would have liked something more definative like the XML should look like this & the config should look like that etc etc.I am running via a netgear router & I think I have set it up ok using p…

This is a somewhat complicated problem so please bear with me.I have consulted, through the forums, with John Dekker from Radar Contact and Peter Dowson from FSUIPC. Both have provided as much help as they can and now we are all stymied.I am running FSX with SP1 installed and PMDG 747-400, FSCrew, Radar Contact and FSMeteo. That's all... no other addon aircraft, panels or scenery.The problem now is that FSX will not open for me. I get the splash screen and the "loading scenery files" and "creating database" notifications and then it just sits there. Eventually displaying "not responding".Pete Dowson from FSUIPC seems to think that it is somehow related to the SimConne…
