• 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.

Why use FSUIPC with ADE?

I get that fsuipc allows 3rd party software to talk to fsx. Why use it with ADE? What do you see? What functionality does it give you in ADE? If this is already answered somewhere, give me a nudge in the right direction.

My cycle is develope in ADE, save and compile, then start up FSX to see my work, go back to ADE to make fixes, compile, restart FSX.... Is this what you all do?

Thanks for your patience with a slow learner.
 
If you never wish to see the position of the user aircraft in ADE, you do not need to have FSUIPC loaded.
 
You may want to see the aircraft position in order to help position or align things in ADE

It allows you to see real time where your aircraft is in ADE to make it easy to position things. Before it was all trial, error and mathematics.

It has never been trial, error and mathematics using ADE. Before FSUIPC, ADE used simconnect.

And even AFCAD in FS9 days had that capability.

My post did not indicate it was used with ADE, but was open ended. I thought you would understand the trial and error was many years ago before the tools of today.

Its just like saying "before we had to code it all in Binary." Its not saying in Visual Studio 2008 we had to code in Binary or even basic as we have far exceeded that. Its just saying in the past we had to do it that way.
