robvanderwiele Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello, I have a client program which uses FSUIPCConnection.SendKeyToFS via WideFs to activate the GSX menu in P3D. Then I can make a choice from the client program with the call FSUIPCConnection.SendControlToFS. I send one of these values: 67145 SIMCONNECT_MENU_0 67136 SIMCONNECT_MENU_1 67137 SIMCONNECT_MENU_2 67138 SIMCONNECT_MENU_3 67139 SIMCONNECT_MENU_4 67140 SIMCONNECT_MENU_5 67141 SIMCONNECT_MENU_6 67142 SIMCONNECT_MENU_7 67143 SIMCONNECT_MENU_8 67144 SIMCONNECT_MENU_9 In P3D v4.5 this works without any problem, in v5 this doesn't work anymore. Could it be Fsuipc6? Or maybe something has changes for those text menus in P3D? It is an easy fix, replaced the call to FSUIPCConnection.SendControlToFS with FSUIPCConnection.SendKeyToFS and send the corrct number key. But I was just wondering why it is broken?

Paul Henty Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi Rob, I can't test this here as I don't have P3D. If other controls work it could be a P3D or Simconnect bug. I think @John Dowson will be able to look into this a bit more. In the mean time, a useful test would be to map a key or joystick press directly to one of these menu controls. See if these controls work there. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else reported this in the Support Forum. I think it is a change (bug or omission) in P3D5 (among many others it seems, reading reports). It would be worth reporting in L-M's website. I've never had consistent results using those controls in any case, and reverted to using plain numeric Key Presses long ago. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robvanderwiele Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello Pete, Thanks for your response, I'll just use the SendKeyToFS function. I'll report the bug in LM website. It is a pitty that simconnect doesn't have a functions to send key presses to the sim. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robvanderwiele Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello Paul, It seems I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem as Pete mentioned. I found the forum thread in the LM forum. Thanks for your reply. Best, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
