SimConnect Support for X-Plane
Since I already developed a SimConnect<->X-Plane transcription for fip gauges, the way to go, to offer a "X-Plane SimConnect plugin", to make X-Plane (fully) SimConnect compatible is not that hard.
This would enable you to use any SimConnect-requiring addin to connect to X-Plane. (well not any, some features might not be usable with X-Plane, because X-Plane does not support them)
What do you think about that idea?
Please state in the comments, which SimConnect-Enabled plugin/extension/tool you would like to use with X-Plane.

Re: SimConnect Support for X-Plane
I have voted "I don't care" at this time as I am not really into X-Plane.
But if I was to ever really get into it as a full time replacement to FSX then I would go "must have" as I would like to have it all done as a "One Stop Shop" and better support for the product and not have many devs pointing there fingers at one another if things do not work. Been there and got nowhere.

Re: SimConnect Support for X-Plane
I would like to see X Plane as supported by simconnect as possible cause at the moment there is not much available for online snippets that can be used with X Plane only thing at the moment as far as I can see is the X Plane profile.
As far as I can see It would make using Spad with X Plane much easier and not be as prone to people picking a snippet that is not compatible.

Re: SimConnect Support for X-Plane
Using sim connect instructions to operate any sim is obviously going to be a easier option for SPAD.neXt newbies and seasoned programmers alike

This not about SPAD.neXt support picking SimConnect data ...

Re: SimConnect Support for X-Plane
I have FSiPanel which does use SimConnect. Though as I have said before in other comments (well sort of anyway it had to do with system failures not all the features of FSiPanel) I think if you made a plugin that did similar things as FSiPanel people would just add it instead of having to run another app.
Re: SimConnect Support for X-Plane
The list of add-ons using SimConnect is extremely long(just thinking of all of the efb) and having a SimConnect plugin for X-Plane will certainly be an additional boost to the ongoing X-plane 11 trend.c0nnex wrote:Since I already developed a SimConnect<->X-Plane transcription for fip gauges, the way to go, to offer a "X-Plane SimConnect plugin", to make X-Plane (fully) SimConnect compatible is not that hard.

Development wise what is your guesstimate of man-days?

Re: SimConnect Support for X-Plane
Well it should be something around 10-15 MD , dependuing on which functions are needed. To Implement 100% all SImCOnnect function will take far longer.
That's why i asked for, which plugins would be most usefull, to have a look at them and see which SimCOnnect-Functions they use.
