• 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.

Flight Sim display from real aircraft inertial data

Hi everyone - I hope I am on the right forum here, as you will see I am new to this site, am looking for some help, and have taken a bit of a guess that I can find it here...

I fly an aircraft equipped with a GPS-Inertial unit (RT3200 - manufactured by OXTS, please see - http://www.oxts.com/default.asp?pageRef=17) that outputs position, attitude, velocities, accelerations and so-on. I want to take this output, and use it as an input to a FS package in order to 're-create' the actual flight on a PC.

I might also want to do this in real-time; with the PC on the aircraft or using the RT3200 output datalinked to the ground. The aircraft is already equipped with datalinks.

So I have some basic questions, seeing as I know nothing about FS development;

1. Does this capability already exist?
2. If not, is it possible?
3. If so, would it be affordable and use commercially available hardware and software?
4. If so, would anybody (preferably in the UK) like to contact me with a view to helping develop such a capability?


Thanks very much

Hi,

Using the SimConnect interface you can feed FS with external data. You would probably have to write a small application that reads your GPS output and converts it to the right calls using the SimConnect interface.
