Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Plugin 1.1.3.0

I'm using ACCELERATION BODY Z, ACCELERATION BODY X, and ACCELERATION BODY Y for surge, sway, and heave respectively. I'm not applying any modifications to them.

Thank you!

i did it again to be sure :

• This plugin installs and runs a separate application that it uses to get motion data from the game. This may require GameManager to be run as administrator when patching. YES
  
• A config file is included with this application and is located in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. This file can be used to set the rate of data transmission, which by default is 100 Hz. YES
  
• If you are having problems with motion data, try replacing the file SimConnect.dll in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. A different version of this file may work better on your system. Look for one in the game installation directory, I COPY THE FILE BUT I CAN'T PASTE IT (CAUSE WINDOWS APP)
  
• or install the SDK and look in MSFS SDK\SimConnect SDK\lib. YES I DID THE SDK METHOD

here is a picture of my settings during flight in game

SimConnect.dll looks right, and the UDP program says that it's sending packets successfully, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I've attached the debug version of SimConnect_UDP.exe, which prints to the console the data sent in every UDP packet. You can replace the file in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. Let me know what it prints out - this will tell me whether the problem is in the sending of data from the game to SimConnect_UDP, or from SimConnect_UDP to the SimTools plugin. If the print statements are too fast to see, you can lower the packet rate in SimConnect_UDP_config.txt.

i replaced the file in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020

the result after flight in picture
i think there is problem game to simconnect udp, no ??

I tried again, i think the first time, the antivirus blocked it

Are you sure the file was actually replaced? That looks like the regular version of SimConnect_UDP.exe - the debug version should print much more.

Sorry, didn't see your last message before I posted mine. Looks like the game is sending the correct data to SimConnect_UDP, but SimTools isn't receiving it for some reason. Trying to figure out what the issue might be...

I just send a new picture in the same time, up

Do previous versions of the plugin work? You can download old versions and try them out - remember to unpatch and repatch the game.

ok i will try

now, for info,
i am using 2 pc, first for gaming, second for motion to rig
settings are same on the PC
simtools 2.4.0
windows 10 2004
flight simulator with last update
and plugin 1.1.1.0
patched in game manager on the 2 pc

(all my others games works perfectly)

see you when i will have the results of other plugin test

i found the problem but not the entire solution
if i try on the same pc game engine and game manager, that works perfectly,
but on pc separately game engine and game manager, there is no transmission in virtual axis,

i will play like that for the moment if you have no best solution
thanks for your help

That makes sense - SimConnect_UDP.exe transmits data via UDP packets to SimTools, which it expects to be running on the same machine (IP address 127.0.0.1). I suppose I could allow this target IP address to be changed in the config file, so you could have the packets sent to the other PC.

simconnect udp send data to game manager only? if so it should already work.
if it also send data directly to game engine, effectively ip problem

I believe that GameEngine would have to be running on the same PC as SimConnect_UDP for the plugin to receive data. I'll work on a plugin update that allows data to be sent to the other PC.

Try installing this new version of the plugin. After re-patching the game, go to AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020 and open the file SimConnect_UDP_config.txt. Change TargetIP from 127.0.0.1 to the internal IP address (e.g. 192.168...) of the PC running GameEngine, and then try playing the game.

Let me know if this works. The reason I haven't posted an official plugin update yet is that I can't really test it with my setup.

Thank you very much!

Can we have "roll rate", "pitch rate" and "yaw rate"? I will need it as soon as VR is supported.
I use my motion platform for realistic accelerations in VR, to combat motion sickness. I try to cancel out the actual motion showing in VR with a tracker .

This means I have no visual feedback of the motion, only sensory. And these sensations need to match up with real flying. Since in flying, gravity doesn't always come from below, and forces are a mix of gravity and other accelerations, just having a static bank and pitch doesn't accurately reflect sensory accelerations. E.g., usually, airplanes make a coordinated turn, where aircraft roll does not cause a feeling of gravity switching to the side. However, you do feel the acceleration from rolling in. Once established in the turn, forces keep you evenly in your seat.

So in case of roll, my platform should simulate the change of roll attitude, and then fade out to horizontal slow enough not to notice it as soon as the change in roll attitude is completed. For this, I do not need the current roll attitude of the aircraft, but just the rate of change.

I'll look into adding these variables as extra DOFs. If I can't get them directly from the game, I can calculate them in the plugin code.

Hi , the Test-Plugin also works for me with a 2 PC-Setup.
There was no data on 2. PC , but connection to gameengine was ok.
Thank you !
