I have managed to write some software that uses a touch screen to control MSFS 2020 buttons and controls by issuing keyboard commands from a raspberry pi. The problem with this approach is it is one way and things can get out of sync easily.
From what I have read FSUIPC talks to FS Simconnect and uses a fixed block of memory to issue commands and receive status. So my question is twofold, is FSUIPC what I should be talking to and is there anywhere that I can find documentation on what all can be controlled? I've looked around and can't seem to find any sort of a list.
Any help graciously accepted!

Thanks for that, nothing like beating on a feature that isn't implemented yet.
The next thing I have to figure out is how to connect Plan-G.
I have been flying sims since they were wireframes but interconnecting these various apps does have its challenges.

Sorry for the very basic questions but here it goes. Got Version 7 installed, run MSFS 2020 then run FSUIPC7 it says connected (so far so good). So if I'm in the main menu and choose select flight from within FSUIPC nothing happens. If I do it from the world map, same. If I actually launch a flight and am sitting on the ground try again Crash to Desktop.
Any help appreciated.
Is FSUIPC what I need for this
in FSUIPC7 MSFS

Thanks for the info, most helpful. I have the beta running on the FS machine and it connects to the sim just fine. Didn't think about having to use the WideClient with Windows 7+ that would likely rule out the pi. I'm using a pi 4 and although there is a version of windows 10 that supposedly runs on it I've never tried to load it.
Thanks again for the info and FSUIPC, great product.
