Hello everyone!
I am trying to send latitude, longitude and altitude parameters from Visual .NET to P3D v4 but I can't it.
I don't untherstand how setting the structure. The result of:
p3d_simconnect.SetDataOnSimObject(StructDefinitions.PLANE_ALTITUDE, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, LockheedMartin.Prepar3D.SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_DATA_SET_FLAG.DEFAULT, objv)
is allways 19.
I think that I am setting structure wrong.
Where I can find one example where this parameters will set it in P3D.
My project is send a lot of parameters from "Flight Data Monitoring" (FDM) [Real parameters from aircraft] to P3D.
Best regards,
Acaymo
Set Latitude, Longitude and altitude -- one example
Re: Set Latitude, Longitude and altitude -- one example
Hello everyone!
Done!
I share the VS .NET code step by step:
1) The main StructureDefinition:
Enum StructDefinitions
PLANE_ALT_ABOVE_GROUND
PLANE_LATITUDE
PLANE_LONGITUDE
PLANE_ALTITUDE
PLANE_PITCH_DEGREES
PLANE_BANK_DEGREES
PLANE_HEADING_DEGREES_TRUE
PLANE_HEADING_DEGREES_MAGNETIC
AIRSPEED_INDICATED
End Enum
2) One Structure for each parameters to send from client to SIM. For Example:
Structure AIRSPEED_INDICATED
Public IAS As Integer
End Structure
3) Add to Data Definition:
p3d_simconnect.AddToDataDefinition(StructDefinitions.AIRSPEED_INDICATED, "AIRSPEED INDICATED", "knots", LockheedMartin.Prepar3D.SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.INT32, 0, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED)
NOTE: Allways "SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED" in each DataDefinition
4) Register Data Definition Struct
p3d_simconnect.RegisterDataDefineStruct(Of AIRSPEED_INDICATED)(StructDefinitions.AIRSPEED_INDICATED)
5) Variable as parameter structure:
Dim ias As AIRSPEED_INDICATED
6) Save the data in variable:
ias.IAS = CInt(TablaDatos.Rows(row_tabla).Cells("IAS_C").Value.ToString().Replace(".", ","))
NOTE: Convert correctly. In this case, the variable is converted to CInt() because, check structure, the IAS parameter is the type Integer
7) Send data to SIM:
p3d_simconnect.SetDataOnSimObject(StructDefinitions.AIRSPEED_INDICATED, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, LockheedMartin.Prepar3D.SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_DATA_SET_FLAG.DEFAULT, CObj(ias))
NOTE: The variable will be convert to OBJET --> CObj(ias)
