Does anyone know if fs2002 outputs a serial data stream from a usb or com port that contains the various aircraft operating parameters? We would like to decode this data stream to drive simulated gauges. Please show mercy on me, this is my very first c r a c k at fs.

I think that the latest FS2002 SDK release from Microsoft could help on your interesting project, please keep us informed about it.

Extracted from Microsoft FS2002 SDK website:

Developer's Desk
Netpipes SDK: Data Input/Output

This SDK describes Netpipes.exe, a utility that opens a data stream to and from instances of Flight Simulator that allows you to capture an aircraft's position, velocity, and other information about the simulation and play it back in another application or instance of Flight Simulator. You can use the Netpipes technique to capture data for later analysis or playback and to drive an external application in real-time.

This SDK also describes the basic format of the data stream and provides references to other sources of information about specific data structures in the stream.

Note: The information in the SDK is not supported by Microsoft Product Support.

Because this document deals with a binary file format and the programming concepts required for parsing or creating a data stream, you must have appropriate programming and C/C++ language skills to read and understand the sample source code.

The Netpipes.exe example in this SDK provides sample code for both collecting data and playing it back in real time to drive views of the same flight on two computers. Since this example passes data saved by one instance of Flight Simulator into another instance, no data stream processing or parsing is presented.

Data Available with Netpipes and the Flight Recorder

This SDK often refers to the flight video recording feature of Flight Simulator 2002 (for a list of the data saved by the flight video recorder, see Data Saved by the Flight Video Recorder in the Netpipes SDK). The full data stream into Flight Simulator available via Netpipes is described in the Panels and Gauges SDK. An external application can populate the data stream with any of the possible parameters regardless of whether the flight video recording feature saves them.
