Menus and Modules, a Video Tutorial
I've put together something of a "test case", creating a video capture of my desktop activity while I create and explain a simple SimConnect application to place menus and text into FSX.
The sound quality is terrible, and that's something I'm getting some professional advice about fixing, however, except for some pops, I don't think it's too unbearable.
Feel free to download the file here (right click and save as, approx. 64MB) or simply watch the smaller version embedded below:
This is my first go at something like this, please leave questions and comments for me.
UPDATE: I wanted to mention that José Oliveira gets the credit for this simpler method of not showing the window. Thanks, JC.

Excellent idea Brian, this is good stuff for those of us that never ventured in to writing stuff for FS but always wonder how to. As a LONG time FS fan (I still have version 1 on the 180k floppy) I have always wanted to see if I could do some of this but just never found the time - maybe with SimConnect and your tutorials I will finally find the incentive to do that. Thanks!
Absolutely amazing tutorial, well done Brian. Which screen capture program did you use? Camtasia?
Looking forward to more!
@Christian,
I actually used CamStudio, a free open source solution at http://camstudio.org/
Camtasia is incredibly nice, but out of my price range. CamStudio just requires me to split the recording sessions into shorter periods and edit them later, or else I get some stability and slowdown issues.
