SimConnect: the protocol to add headtracking to Microsoft FSX, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and others.

Info:

The SimConnect-protocol plugin has been around since the first version(s) of FaceTrackNoIR. SimConnect was developed by Microsoft as an add-on for Microsoft FSX and can be used to add a whole number of functions to the flight sim. FaceTrackNoIR uses SimConnect to move the in-game camera.

Today, there are two SimConnect plugins: the original one, built with the very first version of FSX and the new SP2 version. The latter is compatible with more flight-sims, including the new 64-bit Prepar3D V4.
