Didn't work Same problem like before :/

How can I clear my shaders ? :/

Should work now, had it on private :)

Hello Guys, I'm using Prepar3D V4 and my Clouds always resizing and this looks very weird.How can I fix this and make them look nice again ? :) Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCJ_vuDclYc

Finally get it managed to work :) So now I will cleanup the Code and rename the Events and IDs.After that I try to play a Sound on Pushback which seems to be very hard because I don't find anything about it in the documentation and then I will implement some Maths algorithms for for the Pushback :)

I pasted the whole code here.I hope there aren't so many mistakes in it :D And I try a Beech 350 next time instead of a PMDG :) CODE: //Copyright (c) Lockheed Martin Corporation.

Already implemented that method but there is no Exception thrown.I start the Aircraft and the Pushback with a PMDG777 works but when I press a button which should change the Tug Heading, Tug Speed or the Nose wheel Steering nothing happens :)

One short Question: Can I set the following Variables with these functions ? Full Right Nose Steering: SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent(hSimConnect, SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, EVENT_NOSE_STEERING, 16383, SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY); 45 Degree Angle Tug: SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent(hSimConnect, SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, EVENT_TUG_HEADING, 4294967295 / 8, SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY); Tug Speed: SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent(hSimConnect, SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, EVENT_TUG_SPEED, 30, SIMCONNECT_GROUP_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, SIMCONNECT_EVENT_FLAG_GROUPID_IS_PRIORITY); And they are defined as following: hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect, EVENT_NOSE_STEERING, "STEERING_SET"); hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(hSimConnect, GROUPA, EVENT_NOSE_STEERING); hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect, EVENT_TUG_SPEED, "key_tug_speed"); hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(hSimConnect, GROUPA, EVENT_TUG_SPEED); hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect, EVENT_TUG_HEADING, "key_tug_heading"); hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(hSimConnect, GROUPA, EVENT_TUG_HEADING);

Okay I will do that thank you :) I managed the Pushback and now Im working on that the program dectect if the Parking Brake is set or not and also Im working on Tug Heading and speed but thanks for your help! :)

First I wanted to read out the Velocity Body and Velocity World Values from an aircraft to get a better experience with these variables. Then I wanted to move the aircraft directly but that didn't work.So should I enable a sim event for the Pushback and then manipulate the tug heading and tug speed ? Will that work ? :) And how do I enable the Pushback event ? :)

Has anyone a suggestion how to do it maybe ? :/

Hello Guys, I try to code a simple Pushback addon but I stuck for hours now on how to move the Aircraft on the Ground without reloading the whole Scenario.I hope someone can help me :) Thank you :)

Okay I will try this and update to the latest Version.Thanks :)

Hello Guys, My FO don't do the things he should do.When I begin with the Aircraft in Cold and Dark State and the FO should begin at Minute 59 with the "ELECTRICAL POWER UP SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURE" but he does nothing from this Procedure like turn on the Battery or something.This continues the whole fly so he didn't change the flaps to the Setting he should and so on.The only thing he does is to turn up the gear lever after takeoff :/ I'm using Prepar3D V4 and Windows 10 64-Bit.Had anyone tips how to solve this problem ? :)
