Development Update CsSimConnect: GitHub repo and blog are up

Hi,
as discussed before I have started on a new and improved C# Class-Library for SimConnect. I now have a GitHub repository and a WordPress Blog site. I am not a graphical designer, so the layout is pretty basic, but that will likely improve in the future. The logo is very temporary but works for now.

NOTE

You can download the code from GitHub, but (if you manage to build and run it) all it will give you is a small window that lets you connect to the simulator. Period. It will create a log file that contains a lot of debugging and trace-level stuff, including a test message about the aircraft currently active. Try to disconnect and reconnect and it will likely fail, if not outright crash. Known bug. It needs to clear out some stuff when disconnected and doesn’t, so it confuses the hell out of SimConnect (and itself) by reusing some Ids.

That said, I am pretty proud of the way the aircraft data is requested. Wrote a blog post about it to explain.

If you want to join in the development, let me know. If you want to influence priorities or report bugs, use the “Issues” tab on the GitHub repo. At the moment I know it is still far from “fully functional”, so don’t complain you cannot use it… yet.

Cheers,
Bert Laverman
