Concept FS2004 Interaction

We want to interact FSSim parameters such as reading current speed and altitude from somewhere, moving rudders or accelerating the engine. In FS2004 this is difficult because we simply have no efficient API (programming interface) available. One way to solve this is using FSUIPC. The other is shown here.

What is definitely missing today is a good flight FS2004 simulator API. Since we believe with others that developers should have unrestricted, source level control of what they do to the FS (and this free) we decided to switch to a different solution. This is: FDSConnect from Flight Deck Software. They published the sources of their development on sourceforge, we modified them and hope that the enhancements will benefit to the whole FS community as soon as they bring the new FDSConnect version out (I do not know when, sorry).
So developers: join the FDSConnect movement - now !

Alternatively, lets hope for an adequate programming interface in FSX.
