Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some help and guidance. For several weeks now, I’ve been struggling to get my connection to SimConnect to actually work. I’ve tried asking multiple AI assistants for help, but none of them have been able to figure it out either. I’ve also gone through the SDK documentation, but I still can’t seem to make any progress.
What I’m specifically trying to work with are the variables listed on this page:
These include:
- Airports
- Airport Runways
- Airport Approaches
- Airport Departures
- Airport Arrivals
- Nearest Airport
- Intersections
- Nearest Intersection
- NDB (Non-Directional Beacon)
- Nearest NDB
- VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range)
- Nearest VOR
- Nearest Airspace
- Messages
- ICAO Search
- Name Search
- Flightplans
- Flightplan Departures
- Flightplan Destinations
- Alternate Flightplan
- Flightplan Approaches
- Flightplan Waypoints
- New Flightplan
- Facilities
- Geo Calculations
I’m wondering if anyone would be willing to help me understand what I’m doing wrong and how I can fix it. I don’t have experience with C++ or C# (honestly, I can barely spell them!), though I do have some JavaScript experience. I’m more than happy to pay for tutoring or even send you your favorite beverage(s) as a thank you!
As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” I’d love to learn so I can eventually create something useful for myself. And if I come up with something interesting, I’d be more than happy to share it with others.
We can communicate here in the forums, or if you prefer, we can use email. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated—I’m still stuck at square -56 and would love to finally make it to square 1!
Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
