Hi,

Does Simconnect provide any API to set Flaps, Gear, Speed Brake and Parking Brake?

Thanks,
Jeff

You have 2 options. Triggering the relevant events or masking them and controlling the sim variables directly.

Events:
Use SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent, SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup, and SimConnect_SetNotificationGroupPriority to link the event with an event ID of your choice. Then call SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent with the event ID and event data as needed.

Sim variables:

Same as above except you would use the masking parameters. Also you would use SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition to link the sim variable with a data definition ID, and then SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject to set the value.

Read the SDK for more info.

Hello Naruto,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried to triggered the event and I found some can be implemented. For the others, I plan to use SimConnect_SetDataOnSimObject.

Best regards,

Absolutely any event that can be triggered by the user can be triggered by SimConnect.
