• 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.

Mouse click spots

As a cockpit builder I am looking to map the various event controls of the g1000. In particular I want to assign the map zoom knob as unfortunately this event is not assignable in the game nor is it available to simconnect and hence fsuipc7.

When I had a similar problem in fsx I was able to wrap a local variable around the mouse click event in the xml gauge so that I could trigger it using lua code.

Now we are onto MSFS and I am trying to find where the mouse click code is for the map zoom knob on the MFD to see if it possible to do the same as I did in fsx.

Trouble is, i cant find the code that operates the mouse click.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Stinger

This Key Events using SimConnect doesn't work?
KEY_G1000_PFD_ZOOMIN_BUTTON
KEY_G1000_PFD_ZOOMOUT_BUTTON
KEY_G1000_MFD_ZOOMIN_BUTTON
KEY_G1000_MFD_ZOOMOUT_BUTTON
You can find more at SDK $(MSFS_SDK)/Documentation/03-Content_Configuration/Variable_Lists/Event_IDs.html#g1000-multi-function-display

Unfortunately not. When i do an event trace in fsuipc nothing shows so i assume it is not hooked up to simconnect yet for msfs.

Indeed. It is not working, I have checked. :(
Default MSFS airplanes uses HTML gauges that still not documented. And interaction with them currently unavailable.

Yes, i have been through what I can find but I am unable to see any obvious mouse click code. Not beeing a programmer per say that is about as far as I can go without help of someone with a bit more knowledge.

The event is listed in FSUIPC as assignable but it doesn't work for the same reason.

Thanks for your effort though.

It looks like the answer is now out there. Mobiflight have written a WASM module which opens up all of the missing events. At the moment it is working well with Mobiflight and Spad. John Dowson has agreed to take a look at it to see if the method can be used with FSUIPC7.

There is light at the end of the tunnel for cockpit builders.

To see more info on this see this thread....

SimConnect and GPS Event IDs

As a FSUIPC7 user I would like to know the answer to this one too. I’d rather not have to switch to Spad and start the learning all over again. Great work Mobi either way.
