Thanks Wild Bill,

There were two reasons I chose the Microsoft Flight Simulator forum to post in. First obviously the SmartDeck is a General Aviation glass cockpit solution. But second FSX has a new multiplayer feature that extends the “Shared Skies” experience. “Shared Cockpit” allows two players to be in the same cockpit at the same time. That means that telemetry must be shared over the Internet so that the gauges are in sync for both players.

I found some Microsoft Technet blogs but I am not a programmer:

What is "Shared Cockpit"? The panel and gauge side of MS Flight Simulator : What is "Shared Cockpit"?

How do I share data between C++ gauges in a shared cockpit scenario? The panel and gauge side of MS Flight Simulator : How do I share data between C++ gauges in a shared cockpit scenario?

The artwork and DLLs appear to be in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Gauges folder.

It would be nice if sim developers got on the same page
