Same issue with Simconnect
Itās already in the (admittedly long) list.
Do you have a link with the statement, that I could include into the original post?
Sorry. The list you provided is the same as posted here: https://www.flightsimulator.com/august-6th-2020-insider-update/
Or the direct image: https://msfs-cdn.azureedge.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/FS-v8.01v2.jpg
Which is from August 6th. Again, itās the old Alpha issues. Also, the latest Insider Update was that one on August 6th. There is no insider update on the 20th, only the āpublicā one. https://www.flightsimulator.com/august-20th-2020-development-update/
As a non-Tech-Alpha-Insider the first link does not work for me. The second direct link to the picture does though. Many thanks.
From the picture I derive that SimConnect currently has only āTop Wish Listā status for Asobo (entries āPeripherals / Support for Advanced Set-upsā and ā3rd Party Content / SDKā)!
At least for ā3rd Party Content / SDKā they claim that it is in progress.

That list is a few weeks old, even before the SimConnect issue. It contains no valid information right now. The only information we have is that they will tell the release date for an update (which may or may not contain the fix for SimConnect) on the 27th, meaning that it can take a few more days (or weeks) before the update arrives.

Needed for vatsim vpilot
Thanks: the trick was to use Microsoft Edge.
I do realize, that this is outdated, but the most current statement that we have. I have requested an official statement that I can post into this thread.
Letās cross our fingers!

+1 Please fix simconnect. I use this for vpilot and spade.next. Please, please, pleaseā¦
Oh My, UGH. If it doesnāt make in on the 27th, it will be a good while.
First of all, letās hope the fix will come. Although the developers told Asobo is aware, there was no official (that I saw) confirmation on this bug, neither my ticket has been answered. It was sent on the 19thā¦ Really hope we will get a solution for this.
An hotfix would be appreciatedā¦
Yes me the same. Whatever I do. As soos as I use the hardware (logitech/ saitek) the sim get unable to play. Frames drop zo almost nothing.
ā ā ā ā ā¦ I just hate seeing my screens dark.
I dont want to use a mouse or keyboard in the sim.
Hope it is getting fixed the next update the 27th

Yes they have confirmed to adress it. Will look for the link.
Can you imagine the combined total cost of all the 3rd party flight sim peripherals and 3rd party payware software that are used by the tens of thousands, if not hundred of thousands, of flight simmers that are currently all completely usable and serving as nothing but paper weights?
All because of the lack of compatibility between MSFS 2020 and SIMCONNECT, FSUIPC, and the many other 3rd party add-ons that make all the hardware peripherals and 3rd party software communicate and work with the flight sim software.
There are tons of people with home simulators who have many thousands of dollars invested in all of their cockpit hardware electronics like the G1000 and G3000 hardware panels, the various Saitek Panels, and the many other 3rd party hardware peripherals.
And currently none of it can be used with MSFS 2020 without causing a huge drop in FPS, freezing, and crashing to the point the simulator is completely unusable.
As far as I know the only flight sim peripherals that are currently working with MSFS without causing a huge FPS drop, freezing, and crashing are joysticks, rudders, and throttles. Every other 3rd party peripheral and software program is useless right now.

Where is the mention to SimConnect? Nowhere for what I can see. And the 27th will not be a released date, it will be the date where they tell when they will probably release the patch.
There seems to have been a removal of the recent update post - which did state they were working on the SimConnect issues and an update would be coming on the 27th.
