• 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.

P3D v4 can weather be implemented as a SIM object?

Hello,
I found that the PDK samples where COM objects are created (SimpleCar,SimpleAirplane etc) implement these as SimObjects.
Can I also create a COM object like Weather which can be called from a COM client outside of PDK and make available the weather parameters through the IWeatherSystem and IWeatherStation interfaces?
Thank you
 
Dear MearAb.
I think that your "Weather" can't be SimObject cause it doesn't fly, drive, dive or stand by nature. Not all PDK examples are SimObjects, some are systems and services just like IWeatherSystem, WeaponService, RadarService.
Theoretically you can do anything with COM server, client and etc.
 
Thank you.

Yes that is true. I meant all examples in which COM objects have been created, these examples use them as SIM objects.
If not as a SIM object which derives from the Base object (IBaseObjectV400), how else can I create a COM object that can provide weather parameters to a COM client calling it from outside PDK?
Have I missed out some example(s) which provide some light on this? Could you please guide me to them if so?
