• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello
i made some addons with the simconnect api, only EXE addons
i saw that some people use DLLs and i just wanted to know the DLL logic in P3D and is it just for C++
how will P3D know which class to run and will he run it for ever ?
is there any way that the DLL be built in C# ?
in the SDK samples there are no DLL in C# just C++
and the logic is not really well explained
hope you help me and thnx in advance :)

Note : i'm making an Engine for P3D and i need Dlls to controll 2 things
have a good day ;)

@arno this post is in a rather obscure place. Can easily be missed. Maybe move it to the P3D forum?

I don't believe P3D addons support C# dlls. The P3D addon system is heavily built on the PDK which is C++ only.

@JB3DG i removed the DLL idea from my head since it uses C++
now i'm stuck on this :
requesting the Time of Day, i know how to request data from simconnect but the problem here that in the P3D SDK the time of day unit is an Enum
and i don't know how to store tha data i get in an enum :| hope you help
(picture attached for details )

hey @JB3DG
hope i'm not gonna annoy you with my small beginner questions :)
i want for my addon to add 2 things in the sim UI
1) in the addons drop down menu : i want to add a button that when we click it we ->
get 2) a menu like the default ATC menu
and i want my addon to recive the events when any intem in the menu is created

i read all the sample in the SDk that is in C++ and i work with C#
i know that there are not many difference between the two languages but it stilll confusing to me as i don't know too much about C++
hope you help me openning and closing that menu with items and adding that button in the Add ons drop down menu

THNX in advance :)
have a nice day :)

EDIT: i found how to add items in ADD-ONS drop down menu and i know now how to catch event when i click in the drop down menu items
and i dound how make an ATC menu with items and all i need is to catch event
which item has been slected

RE-EDIT: i edited this post about 12 times today HAHA
ok so now, by my own, i found how to get the menus and to catch events.
if some needs the code i'm here :)
