Hi,
do you have any plans for FSCaptain in FS2020? There is info for any 3rd party to contact Asobo in their last update about SDK. So I hope you are in contact:) I cannot imagine flying FS2020 without FSC.

I don't know what I'm actually allowed to say, but your question & opinion are well noted. Best,

Hi Noel,
Dutch and Travis have no concrete information about the MSFS 2020, or P3D 5.0, Simconnect module yet. This module is what let's FSCaptain interact with FS9, FSX, and P3D. Chances are that FSCaptain will work fine with P3D 5.0 because its Simconnect module is likely similar to previous P3D versions - we will know next week. However, when it comes to MSFS 2020, all we know is that there will be some sort of Simconnect. If that's suitable, then FSCaptain will probably be available for that platform as well.
Cheers, Peter

Hello Peter, any update on this, or P3D V5 for that matter? I will gladly purchase a fresh copy. I am returning to the sim world well after taking a 6 year break. Just got myself a new PC, loaded with P3D V5 and really am looking for a programme like FS Captain to once again add that next bit of reality to my sim. Thank you kindly!
Stay safe, and stay well!

We released 1.8.2 Beta 3 that works with Dutch's P3D5. There's a link to a full Installer for SimConnect-64 at the end of the OP in this thread: fscaptain.proboards.com/thread/4128/fscaptain-1-8-beta-availableThe Full Installer looks for the P3D5 Registry install path, but if it can't find such, you can point it to your simulator's root folder. If you have an FSCaptain license key, it will work in any simulator we support. And there's nothing to announce for any unreleased simulators.... Best,

I did not upgrade to P3D v5 from 4.5 because of pending MSFS. This being said, even though I pre-ordered MSFS just because how can one resist (!) but until FSCaptain comes to 2020 I will just fiddle around w/ 2020 for short VFR stuff as my heart remains steadfastly attached to FSCaptain and what it brings to the relatively boring activity of flying a desktop sim!

Hi Noel,
that's my plan as well. And to quote Dutch from a post about MSFS he made on Avsim yesterday: "As soon as a stable SDK is released containing the right facilities (a SimConnect or equivalent) for the new sim the FSCaptain team will be working to port the product to it."
Cheers, Peter

Hi Noel, This is why I've been looking for simple bugs since the release of 1.8.2. I've not updated to P3D5 mostly because I'm fine with P3D4.5HF2. I'm interested in the newer simulators of course, but I'll only take baby steps during their initial rollouts. Best,

Any news about getting a finger out and move this into msfs? I mean that in a good way. If you want to make some money you should see the thousands of potential new customers. Your choise, your product but I tell you there is a lack of purpose using msfs. Some challenges and stuff, yes, but just fly randomly gets old fast. Chop chop )))

Hi Bob! (Famous TV quote) If you could actually listen to Dutch gush on about the pure wonderfulness of MSFS you'd know that he's the leading proponent of getting FSCaptain working in MSFS! I'll bet he didn't get a full night's sleep last night.... As we see things now, we're hopeful that MSFS will accommodate FSCaptain... but there are a few bits and bobs that aren't in place just yet. It could be that some of the FSCaptain Hazard Pack items might be handled within MSFS. (Visible) Icing for all aircraft?? Etc. I've always said that FSCaptain is a Jack of all trades. That means we rely on a great spread of FS capabilities to do what we do. Some of these come from the simulators themselves, some come from other helpers / add ons. That means we need strong underpinnings for all changes of the existing frameworks. A lot of critical framework items are in place, but some items aren't ready yet. We've reached out to other developers to see what they think of things.
So let's be patient for now. Time will tell, as it always does.... Best,

As an asideā¦ is everyone intending to go with MSFS2024 as soon as released or are folks going to stick with FS2020 for the time being? Thanks for any comment.

I will wait and see, but likely make the transition in the first half of 2025. Peter
