Hi All, I would like to be able to access the Simulation Variables mentioned in the reference manual but have been unable to do so. I am not overly familiar with referencing 3rd party (non P3D) variables so I'm probably doing something glaringly wrong. Here's my setup code:- SimConnect_MapClientDataNameToID ( hSimConnect, "rxp.gps.cross_track_nm_1", GTN_ID_XTRACK); // trying to read cross track var SimConnect_AddToClientDataDefinition ( hSimConnect, CLIENT_DATA_DEF, SIMCONNECT_CLIENTDATAOFFSET_AUTO, SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE_FLOAT64); SimConnect_RequestClientData ( hSimConnect, GTN_ID_XTRACK, CLIENT_REF , CLIENT_DATA_DEF, SIMCONNECT_CLIENT_DATA_PERIOD_SECOND); As far as I know , this is all I should be doing to get sent a message: SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_CLIENT_DATA with data within for xtrack. If I can get this working then I can expand to get multiple data out. But I get nothing. Can anybody point out what I am doing wrong. Am I referencing the GTN variables correctly? Is the code sequence in correct ? I'd be grateful for any help. Cheers.

Well, It turned out (predictably) I was doing something wrong. When issuing Keyboard commands via keybd_event in a C++ programme I used the incorrect keycode and the CTRL key (and SHIFT in an earlier attempt) stay pressed (virtually) causing havoc in other programmes. Moral of story. 1.Check code. 2.Before posting on help forums, refer to point 1. Thanks.

HI, I am having trouble with my keyboard shortcuts for the Reality XP GTN software. I have successfully configured a few keyboard short cuts as described in the Manual and placed them in the RealityXP GTN.ini file. I have configured :- . . . . DTO_1 = ALT+D HOME_1 = ALT+H DTO_2 = CTRL+D HOME_2 = CTRL+H . . . . And these activate the appropriate buttons when P3D V4 is running as expected The trouble is with this active I can no longer use the CTRL key properly in other programs while Prepar3d is active. There is also an Issue with the SHIFT key when I use it in replacement to the CTRL key in the file above. I can understand the keys may be no available within the same process as Prepar3d, but not in external programs. Is this normal, is it a Reality XP or Prepar3d Issue or am I do something wrong? Any insight would be greatly appreceated. Regards.

Hello. Can anybody recommend a Cessna C208 Grand Caravan model that will work with the Mindstar G1000. I have tried to use the Carenado offering but not all features worked (engine output for a start). Else where on this forum it has been noted that Carenado software doesn't work with the Mindstar G1000 by design.

It just makes life a bit easier for your customers. We don't expect you to write our software but a few helpful pointers would help smooth things.

Yes, read that , but it doesn't give any SimConnect coding examples which would help.

Stopped being lazy and re-read docs. this'll do it SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect , 0x11301,"#0x11301"); SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(hSimConnect, GROUP_B , 0x11301, false); then monitor SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_EVENT in dispatch procedure.

Hi All. I am using emuTeqs G1000 hardware and Mindstars G1000 software and via SimConnect I am sending to the software the various hardware button presses as events mapped to the G1000.ini. eg SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent (hSimconnect, eventID,"#0x11001"); // one for each hardware button mapped to G1000.ini entries as doc'd & SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent( hSimconnect , 0 , eventID , 0 , SIMCONNECT_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY); and everything works fine and the G1000 software responds to the button presses. No problem there but what I would like to know is how to read back the state of radio LED's if set up to be sent in the [output] section of the G1000.ini file. Basically I'm not sure what Simconnect functions I should be using when trying to access a 3rd party event streams. Any ideas would be appreciated.

HI All I too have a the MEL throttle Quadrant with the same problem as Paul. I have had a reply from Brian Jenkins at Ellite claiming the programmers are working on the P3d driver and promising it very soon. That was 2nd Dec 2014. I also got a similar reply in August 2014 claiming it'd be ready in about a month. I don't think they are very interested in servicing our needs. I would suggest sending the MEL back and getting a refund and spend the money on something that works. Or you could even have a crack at making your own , it'll be quicker than waiting for ellitte. Attach (several ?) linear potentiometers, and some switches/buttons to http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=204 add your own case design and you have a product !
