Hi. Is there an alternative to project magenta? I have 2 pc. The main with 4 outputs, 3 screens linked by surround mode with a 970 gtx nvidia , and the forth one a touch screen for the fmc. The second pc have 3 screens for instruments. I have glasscockpit project magenta. I have in the first screen the PFD, in the second one ND, and in the third one the flaps. When I bough glasscockpit PM the price it was 100 euros. Now is 200 for each part. The problem is that it is necesary to have fmc and mcp Project magenta in order to the data from mcp and fmc show in6 the PFD and ND. Is there another alternative cheaper than PM? Regards.

I'm currently running a small network (with a router, not P2P) with FSX:SE loaded on the H: partition on my server PC (FSX CD version was originally on C:) plus loads of Orbx, with other software such as AS16, AH2, PFPX, Plan-G etc on the C: drive of my networked client PC. It's all been pretty stable, and SimConnect has been behaving itself for a few years now and I've been really enjoying AH2. I'm well into the planning stage of making the big leap forward to use P3Dv4 and would like some appraisal/criticism of what I'm planning. My Plan A (for want of a better title, armageddon didn't seem right) is to attempt at keeping both sims separate so I have a fall back po…

Hello everyone,I want to read the list of waypoints that an AI aircraft is currently following. The "AI WAYPOINT LIST" seems to be what I want but I don't understand how to extract information from it using managed C#.I have a definition with a bunch of other variable that work, only this is giving me trouble. Some of the code im using to request the data:simConnect.AddToDataDefinition(DEFINITIONS.DATA_DEFINITION, "AI WAYPOINT LIST", "", SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.FLOAT64, 0.0f, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED);simConnect.RegisterDataDefineStruct<Data_Definition>(DEFINITIONS.DATA_DEFINITION);[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, Pack = 1)]public struct …

HI I have recently rebuilt my client pc which is where my Active Sky 2016 sits. I connect to the server pc via simconnect. I cannot get a connection. I have followed the trouble shooter and gone through all of the steps 3 times with no joy. I have avliasoft EFB connected and it is working fine on the client. So it would appear that the sim connect is? working for EFB at least. I have tried the support desk at hifi and they suggest that i need wider sim connect support which they don't provide. I don't know where to start with this given i have had this working before with no issues and appear to have interrupted this with a rebuild. I have checked the install …

Quick question i hope someone can advise. Taxiing the PMDG B737-800 I have to keep applying power to get the machine to roll along as it slows down each time when the power is not constantly applied. I do not want to keep the throttles in the same taxi position otherwise it will gain speed. Need to be constant as i taxi off the ramp and then the taxiway. Keeps 'stop starting' is a little annoying, especially to al the PAX. I thought that once you left the gate and got going, there is no need to keep applying power as it should merrily roll along? Setting in P3d? Looking at other YouTube videos, i see taxiing is a smooth constant. What am i mi…

So Project M wrote me about maybe how to fix my problem with not being able to program lets say the AT disconnect button. I am using P3D, PM GC and PMsounds, PM MCP software with CPflight MCP hardware. Can someone in plain english tell me just what to do from what they are saying below here. Where do I get the offset lists for PM and or what do I do with this Ox4Fs value 99. I have never used offsets. Thanks Randy, You need to select the PM offsets from the list, not the FS autopilot offset.Or write to 0x4F2 the value 99, which is a universal AP off command. PM team

Hello everyone,When accessing data from an AI controlled aircraft through SimConnect, I noticed that there is almost no engine data available, only RPM (this was tested in a piston driven propeller light aircraft). Is FSX not simulating engine data for AI aircraft? That would be undestandable since it would slow down even the best PCs back in the day, but now there is computation room to spare. Is there a way to turn on detailed simulation of AI aircraft? Thanks in advance!

Why dont add-on application designers use FSUIPC as a network interface rather than simconnect. FSUIPC usually works instantly across the network without problems whereas SIMCONNECT works great if you you dont have installation problems but if you do have installation problems you can forget it. Trying to trouble shoot SimConnect is a nightmare. The general attitude to SimConnect is, If it works ... GREAT!! if it doesn't work please dont even bother asking me. So my question is; why dont add-pn vendors us FSUIPC instead of SimConnect? I would really like to hear the reasons why. Let me use just one application as an example. Plan-G can be used across a network usin…

Hi, I'm trying to configure a SPAD.NeXt profile for MadDog X (P3D 4.3). Setting frequency from simulator Vhf knobs works well (same digits on both simulator and panel and when I set frequency on sim on panel is updated in real time). Not the same when I use panel knobs: digits change on panel but not on sim. I'm using COM STANDBY FREQUENCY:1 (SimConnect) or md_ipc_com1_stby_freq_mhz (LVAR) with no luck. Any hint or suggestion? Thanks in advance, Alessandro

Recently I have been having problems relating to the connection between the physical part of my setup, ie yoke, pedals, throttles etc, and I think it is related to a problem with Simconnect. The problem is shown by sometimes I get a message from Ezydok saying that it cannot find the FSX exe. Sometimes FSX crashes and says that there is a problem with Simconnect and to reconfigure it. I use EZYDOK, also known as EZCA to set up the views in many different aircraft and each tied to a button on the Yoke and throttles. Am I right in assuming that the system uses Simconnect to pass information from the hardware to the appropriate software. If so does anyone know which…

I've just recently discovered FS Economy, was impressed and decided to join in. When I read about installing the FS Economy client it mentioned there are 2 versions for FSX; a client that uses FSUIPC and one that uses SimConnect. To the best of my knowledge, the only other FSX:SE app I have that uses SimConnect is Active Sky Next; also own Accu-feel, but I don't think it uses it. I also have the FS Panel Android app, who's companion PC server app use FSUIPC. Since SimConnect is the newer FSX technology I chose that version of the FS Economy client. When I read the installation instructions, it mentions that it must use a legacy/earlier edition of SimConnect that's …
