Just anwering to your "First" Post (before editing) i would like to point out that there are also several "Freeware" programs and Downloads. Just read, non scrolling, and you find them. Intrasystem .

You can't. With a multiscreen system there are possibilities for "not Pop-up" windows, but still quite "Tricky". .

The MouseClicks Test Program is ready for download. You can download here: (x avoiding web-scanning pls. use the Pwd) http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/TestMouseClicks/MouseClicks.rar User: Test Pwd: MouseClicks54321 The MouseClicks Manual: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/MouseClicks_Manual.zip Intrasystem .

The MouseClicks MANUAL is ready for download. You can download here: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/MouseClicks_Manual.zip Pls. read the 1. page and revert if interested. Intrasystem .

Have a look at the Simcon Software. The Frequency Input is very easy and can be exchanged, Adf, Vor, Xpn, Com. Nav Freq con be stored in Nav1 Stby, Nav2 + Nav2 Stby and passed do Nav1. The Pilot Interface is a special feature. There is a very particular Radar you would appreciate as real Pilot. Simcon is including 5 different automatic Fly-to Functions + the virtual Runway creating always a virtual Wpt at 20nm aligned with any Rwy (Sea, Air, Ground). Simcon is also connecting you to a real world Airport Charts and Information Centre. I'm using the Flight1 ATR - also using with the Mouseclick automatic execution like Engine Stop, Start. The Mouse is moving like the Pilot Hand. There is a separte View for creating any Mouseclick file. Have a look here: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/FSX.html The Simcon Manual + MouseClick Manual can be downloaded. .

First of all, with MouseClicks you can solve many common problems. Just try with a Lua-Script to Start or Close Engines for the PMDG NGX 737 plane. or try to open the Terrain Map + Terrain Height on the ND Instrument in automatic. With MouseClicks you can do it. It is left to your necessity and fantasy. With one Joy-Button or KBD-Key you execute what a human would do. In fact you can select any position of any single or multi_switch. This example is switching: - from any actual view into the Cockpit - selecting the Overhead Panel + executing all single movements a Pilot would do. example: Start / Close engines - selecting the 2D panel + executing all movements (EFIS panel) a Pilot would do in order to open the Terrain-Map and the Terrain height-distance that is then shown on the ND Instruments. Maybe also a help for some Cockpit Pilot. MouseClicks will be available very soon. When the MouseClicks Hook-System is activ (intercepting Keyboard) you can still use the Keyboard for other functions that are not assigned to a Click-File. MouseClicks is NOT connected to any Game or else. You can use it for any Game or else. MouseClicks is including a "Key.txt" file with 47 special Keys/char you can change for different Keyboards. Create MouseClicks Files This example is a ClickFile for PMDG NGX 737 doing the Pilot movements for inserting the Terrain data on the ND-Panel 1. We create the MouseClickFile or only a Keyboard File Terrain_On_Off --- From any actual View switch to the 2D-Panel {F10} --- execute Keyboard keys --- MouseClicks are executed on the EFIS control Panel --- The ND Panel is showing the Terrain Display with the Terrain-Map and the Terrain-Height if both are selected/included. 2. - We add (View 1) a Joystick-Nr or any Joystick Button Combination. - We add (View 1) 1 or several Keyboard Keys or Key-Combinations; normally we use Joystick or Keyboard. 3. With View (2) we can execute any File using the Mouse > click on Filename. If a File is connected to the Joystick or Keyboard we can execute the File with View (2) - Joystick and Keyboard. Joystick connection 262144 - Terrain_On_Off is executed. DOORS Using a pure Keyboard File without Mouseclicks included. In this example the 2. Door is opened. 1. Door opened (Shift + e) 2. Door is using (Shift + e) then, the delayed key {2} FSX in Full SCREEN Just select the Keyboard Keys and save with VIEW (1) Execute as separate File or within another File. Execute via Joystick or Keyboard-Key(just one) or click on FileName View (2) Engine + Lights on Panel Shift+6 - ENGINE Start - ENGINE Stop - Overhead Panel is Fixed. - Execute each Mouseclick x Start or Close Engines. (Mouseclicks open Switch Covers, click on Switch, close Switch cover) Lights on Panel: Shift+8 Lights on Panel: Shift+6 (Overhead) FMC opening Shift+3 FMC > AutoFlight Keyboard Configuration Example: <VOR LOC Switch = CTRL+A Example: <APP Switch = CTRL+Z Example: <A/P Disengage Switch (set a Kbd-Key-Combination) Theorically you could use the FMC with Mouse-Clicks x several functions. Open FMC > execute Mouseclicks in automatic. Intrasystem .

Hi Paul, I did not use your DLL for calculating as i'm only using the Mathe Formulas by Ed Williams for all calculations. I noticed the difference using your FSUIPCClientExample.VB that is using your DLL. Sitting at LOWG your example program is calculating distance + Bearing to EGLL. As far as the Bearing is concerned (296 / 299) the difference is the MagVariation, depending on what we want as result. In fact, as example, the RWY-Heading(35C) of LOWG is 349 considering the MagVariation or 346(less MagV). There is a "lateral deviation formula" that could be very useful for calculating a "restricted" deviation result, example to a Rwy or else. crs_AD = Heading in Rad crs_AB = Back-Course (example of a Rwy) in Rad XTD_Dev = Math.Asin(Math.Sin(Distance) * Math.Sin(crs_AB - crs_AD)) XTD_Dev = rad2deg(XTD_Dev) 'Restrict area / result If XTD_Dev < 0.6 And XTD_Dev > -0.6 then 'do something 'also a ILS signal would be within this result even if not aligned but heading towards Else 'do something End If This formula should not be used for calculating a Fly-To Bearing Difference. To mention that there is a big difference in calculating a Bearing-To and calculating for example a Rwy-Approach that would need more calculation for getting the Bearing-Difference. 'calc Position/Wpt aligned with Heading/Rwy at same distance of Apl to Rwy tc = RunwayBackCourse + MagVariation tc = deg2rad(tc) d2 = distance in Km lat = Math.Asin(Math.Sin(lat2) * Math.Cos(d2 / EarthR) + Math.Cos(lat2) * Math.Sin(d2 / EarthR) * Math.Cos(tc)) lon = lon2 + Atan2((Math.Sin(tc) * Math.Sin(d2 / EarthR) * Math.Cos(lat2)), (Math.Cos(d2 / EarthR) - Math.Sin(lat2) * Math.Sin(lat2))) In fact a Rwy-Approach, example a FS-ILS Autopilot Appr is moving the Apl more "lateral" L/R while the pure Mathe-Calc is moving the Apl along a smooth angle to the Center Approach-Heading. Considering the speed and change of the actual apl position the difference is quite obvious and requesting to start alignmend at a certain distance for any system in use. Your contribution is really great. Thanks. regards, Raimund .

Hi, i would like to ask you why there is a difference, for example with distances and Bearing, between your DLL functions you are using with the FSUIPCClientExample and the real world Mathe calculation that is giving the right result. Aircraft world position Lat/Lon from FSUipc offsets (single offsets) or with Simconnect Destination Lat/Lon from a external dBase Example Difference: LOWG to EGLL Distance in nm = 677 - Km = 1255 - BRG 296° initial Your FS-DLL calculation is: Distance in nm = 732 - Km = 1356 - BRG 289° initial I checked my data with some Web distance calculators that confirmed my results. I think that the difference is due to a different conversion from N/W/E to a lat / lon with 6 decimals, let us say less accurate. The real world distance calculation Function distance(ByVal lat1, ByVal lon1, ByVal lat2, ByVal lon2, ByVal unit ) As Double ''lat1, lat2 - Double values with 6 decimals Dim theta As Double = 0 Dim dist As Double = 0 theta = lon1 - lon2 dist = Math.Sin(deg2rad(lat1)) * Math.Sin(deg2rad(lat2)) + Math.Cos(deg2rad(lat1)) * Math.Cos(deg2rad(lat2)) * Math.Cos(deg2rad(theta)) dist = acos(dist) dist = rad2deg(dist) distance = dist * 60 * 1.1515 Select Case UCase(unit) Case "K" distance = distance * 1.609344 Case "N" distance = distance * 0.8684 End Select End Function THE BEARING FUNCTION (all Mathe as per ED Williams Pilot Mathe) http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm 'get distance into d d = distance_radians(d) 'calc bearing If Math.Sin(BlonRad - AlonRad) < 0 Then dn = (Math.Sin(d) * Math.Cos(AlatRad)) If dn = 0 Then dn = 1 'not the correct way but it helps otherwhise stop calc. tc1 = acos((Math.Sin(BlatRad) - Math.Sin(AlatRad) * Math.Cos(d)) / dn) Else dn = (Math.Sin(d) * Math.Cos(AlatRad)) If dn = 0 Then dn = 1 tc1 = 2 * pi - acos((Math.Sin(BlatRad) - Math.Sin(AlatRad) * Math.Cos(d)) / dn) End If 'rad into degrees tc1 = rad2deg(tc1) 'RESULT <= 0 = 360° ''''convert to what we need '' 'Course deviation from actual aircraft position '' adjust HeadingDifference '' less MagVariation Appreciate you kind comments.

Network via WideFs. CockpitStatus is including the special ATIasHold Approach and Radar System. A professional multifunction System for any Pilot. The Radar-System has been developed paying attention to what a Radar really should be, essential in any detail. This Radar System is also showing the Destination Apt/Rwy at any distance together with all Wpt/Vor/Adf around 100 nm. Radar is evidencing any Ryw with a virtual Wpt at 20nm distance aligned with the Rwy. (you never get lost) To mention the manual and automatic Radar zooming that is very important. Both Programs are not using any Frequency or FSX-Data, only real world Mathe Formulas by Ed Williams, based on world-position Lat/Lon. http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm You approach any Rwy as well as the virtual Rwy you can create at any World-Position, Air, Sea, Ground and return to. visit Intrasystem: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/FSX.html There are 2 new Manuals you can download for any further information.

Controlling Record-Header, Controlling Header + SubRecords for errors and integrity. Reading any Field sequence and by Field Position. You can convert, translate any Airac dBase into a different Print-Out. Any work-Session can be saved for future use. There will be also a special application for 'mixing' 2 different dbase. For example: Adding to 1 dbase data from another dbase. Test has evidenced that there are Airac dbase with Errors + Logical Errors. Such a Error can be the reason for FMC failure oder Flight Plan errors. It is possible to use AiracStructure for converting also a not Airac-Data based dBase.

The new Simcon Terrain Radar System The Simcon Terrain Radar System is not only showing you the Terrain Elevation but leading you over the Mountens. visit: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/FSX.html regards, .

The New SIMCON Simconnect Approach System (09/2012) Now including: - Empty + Fuel Option - Select VOR + NDB aligned with Rwy at any Distance - Joystick Connection - Joystick Editor - The new Mouse-Click Interface x automatic Click-Actions The Simcon Approach System is not using any Frequency, only Coordinates for any Rwy or whatever Position. Frequencies can be copied into your Cockpit Radio. Intrasystem: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/FSX.html regards,

There is a new AddAirports program you can download (Freeware) at: http://www.intrasyst.../AddAirport.zip Just place your Aircraft at any place and copy the actual data like Heading, Coordinates ecc.... Program is running on 32 + 64 Bit machines. Connecting to MSFS via FSUIPC. (also not registered) Read the included AddAirports.pdf File. visit: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/FSX.html regards, Raimund

Adding a new Airport with all coordinates is not a problem using a external Apt-File. You get any aircraft-position Coordinates Lat/Lon in automatic wherever the plane is sitting for Apt-Lat/Lon + Rwy-Lat/Lon. Just use a Feature like this (Freeware): I don't think you are installing a new scenery x times every week. Download (Freeware) at: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/AddAirport.zip regards Raimund

If this is like a fun for you so why you are trying to develope Simconnect procedures yourself ? Your previous discussion at: http://forum.simflight.com/topic/70699-nearest-airports-fix/#entry437369 Just get the actual Lat/Lon position and use the Ed Williams Aviation Math-Formulas and you solve the problem. "Simcon" is only working with real Aviation Formulas. A part of this you don't need to read actually the FS Apt's, you can create your own Airport-File. Get/Read the "actual" Apt you are 'sitting' is also a question of how you program your enquiry. Getting ready share code is quite difficult as certain applications require a lot of programming work. regards, Raimund .

I'm using for my programs the Aviation Formulas edited by Ed Williams: http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm http://forum.simflight.com/topic/71036-simcon-simconnect-approach-system/#entry439227 regards Raimund

Pls. explain "flight NM". regards,

I will help you and reply within some days. There are 2 possibilities: - connecting FS via the FSUIPC (also not registered) (for network connection Wide FS from FSUIPC is necessary) - connecting FSX via Simconnect, not using FSuipc. I understand that you want to write a own program like the one you show in C# but with Microsoft VB net. Just for your information, it is possible to use the program-buttons even via Joystick with VB. This needs to be programmed separately and is possibile with Simconnect or FSuipc. If interested you will find several Forums with informations about it via Internet search. I'm suggesting you to read all the comments of PAUL HENTY in this Forum. I believe you find the answer to your original question and many more for VB. Nota: I see that Paul Henty answered already once to your question in a different Topic. regards,

Simcon can be used with your Joystick. Read the new Manual Simcon.pdf http://www.intrasyst.../FSX/Simcon.pdf visit Intrasystem: http://www.intrasystem.it/FSX/FSX.html regards,

The Precision Approach System - Example Flight The Approach System is working with any Runway. You do not need any frequency, ils etc... Here we see the example images flying with a DC-3 from LOWW (Austria) to LOXT - Rwy 05. The Rwy 05 is just a GRASS-Runway you don't even see. You can follow manually the Approach-Heading or with the Automatic approach system. Here we are using the Automatic Approach. We start at LOWW - Hdg 293 - Destination LOXT - Rwy 05 - Flaps position, Gear + Brakes shown. Distance to LOXT 21.9 nm - Direct Hdg 301°. A virtual waypoint is created for any Rwy at a distance of 15 nm from Rwy and aligned with the Rwy! We first fly to the waypoint, initial hdg 273° - distance 30.3 nm. You could first fly to any other waypoint of your choice. Important is that you reach the Rwy-Radial-Alignment / Glidepath as it is with any other System. Now we start the Automatic approach Heading to the Waypoint. Click on 'wpt: 274°/30,3' The green light is indicating that the Waypoint-Heading is 'ON'. Here we are at a distance of less then 5nm from waypoint. The automatic Heading is closing automatically. We must turn to the Runway-Heading. As we are Heading 264° and the Rwy-hdg is 048° we turn 'right'. When we reach approximately the rwy-hdg 048° our position is within the Approach-Area. Now we click on 'LOXT' - green light confirming automatic approach. The Wpt is now behind us. At the distance of 7,2nm you might see the Rwy. (without snow you would not see the rwy) At a distance of 4,2nm - the Rwy is in front of us. Now we are at a distance of 0,5nm. The Waypoint is exactly aligned on 228° at a distance of 15,6nm. At a distance of less than 0,3nm the automatic Approach system is 'OFF'. You hear the Alert Sound. You could make a final adjustment before landing. Try approaching + landing without seeing anything (on any rwy). With CockpitStatus Approach System you can do it. CockpitStatus is only calculating with real Mathe Functions, not using return values from FS as it is with Gauges. It took 1 year of programming and tests to complete CockpitStatus, ATIasHold and Approach-System. CockpitStatus is really 'different'.
