This box has a Arduino Micro Pro in it, which is one of those which looks like a Joystick to Windows, if the right software library is loaded. Initially, I wrote code to read the Tiller (which has a Hall-effect sensor and 2 magnets) and via the Arduino Interpolation code, converted the range of motion to 0 - 1023. text/html 2024-07-12T03:57:52+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://stopstogo.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=flightsim:msfs2020:mobiflight&rev=1720756672&do=diff Mobi Flight This is a separate program which interfaces with Arduino modules and other functionality to do custom controls on MSFS 2020 Turn on Development Mode (General Options -> Developers -> On) MobiFlight comes with some predefined Events.

Sometimes there are problems with the app such that it fails to connect to its PMDG server. If we update a 737 with the app, then the next time we load the 737 inside of MSFS 2020, it takes much longer for that 737 to load up. This is because MSFS compiles this airframe after it is changed. This could take perhaps 20-30 minutes. text/html 2023-02-05T22:26:39+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://stopstogo.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=flightsim:msfs2020:pmdgheaderfile&rev=1675635999&do=diff This is from the PMDG_NG3_SDK.h file, located in Community/pmdg-aircraft-738/Documentation/SDK //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // // PMDG 737 NG3 external connection SDK // Copyright (c) 2022 Precision Manuals Development Group // //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #ifndef PMDG_NG3_SDK_H #define PMDG_NG3_SDK_H // SimConnect data area definitions #define PMDG_NG3_DATA_NAME "PMDG_NG3_Data" #defi… text/html 2023-02-05T22:25:47+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://stopstogo.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=flightsim:msfs2020:simvars&rev=1675635947&do=diff MSFS 2020 SimVars These are Microsoft published Simvars: * SimVars - Main Microsoft Site * Events - Main Microsoft Site To Control the PMDG 737, SimVars and Events (Start with EVT_) are located: Community\pmdg-aircraft-738\Documentation\SDK in the file PMDG_NG3_SDK.h (copy from 1/2023) Simulation VariablesSimulation Variable UnitsAircraft Autopilot/Assistant VariablesAircraft Brake/Landing Gear VariablesHelicopter VariablesCamera Variables text/html 2025-08-09T17:12:10+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://stopstogo.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=flightsim:msfs2020:start&rev=1754759530&do=diff MSFS 2020 SimVars are “simulation variables” and they are the way that third party APIs and add-ons can get information about the current state of the simulation.

Press “c” to toggle back.
