I'll be uploading the VS 2003 files to my website soon.I think it's time to cut the crap and try to have some real good programmers have a look at the situation and maybe come up with a better program. Even if it is written in an other language.Who cares for credits if the thing works like a #### :(Keep en eye on my site if you're interested.

Good idea Philippe.I haven't had much time to look through your current code due to the Xmas holidays but I haven't forgotten.The source code for FDSConnect (FSUIPC type plugin) has just been released and I'll be spending allot of time with that to create an interface for my USB stuff. So I thought rather than try and improve your LPT-reloaded I would add support for it in the FS plugin. Your scanning algorithm is pretty straight forward so I'll have no problem integrating that into the plugin. What do you think?-Leo

I have no idea what you mean :(Sorry can't follow ..There is this new "fsuipc" look-a-like called fdsconnect .. ok, got that ..Then you plan on sniffing trough the source code of that plugin .. ok, npThen if i understand the next line right .. you'll add support for LPT-r in the plugin ... ???You trying to add my "scanner" part of my code into the dll so that it com.s with FS directly ???Xpleen pls :)Obviously I'm confused :(

Can you tell me which fs do you use and if it is fs2002, have you got fdsconnect running in it ?Cuz it sais to work with fs2002 .. which is, if i'm not mistaken fs8 .. So what I do is thake the FS8 version of the dll from the zip file, put in in the fs/modules directory as with fsuipc .. and in FS itself .. nada, noppes, nothing ..Then I thought, maybe i had to remove fsuipc .. yet again, nothing, nada ..I don't seem to get any "fdsconnect" option in the module menu or something .. Can you tell me if there should be ? Or is there an other way to get to the GUI .. there IS one, isn't there ???

So when and where will the source code be? I'll be interested in developing a non-.NET version for those with older systems so they can use it.....Other than that I can have a look and see if the code can be cleaned up or optimised :) Visual Basic did you say? :-lol

http://users.skynet.be/plipke/PF50HC/reload.ziphere you gopls do note that if you would make or suggest some changes to THIS code, let me know, i'll do it then.however, if you understand from this file how the thing should work and you would go a totally different way, pls do so and then you may upload it anywhere you want. ( as long as you let me know, cuz i'll want to download it for personal use ;) )if you plan on using other prog.language, you can do exactly the same thing. upload anywhere and call it your own. again, don't forget to tell me 'bout it ;)i think the basic thing in this zip file that will be of interest to users who don't have VS.Net2003 will be the *.vb file which you can open in notepad or whatever text editor.ENJOY !

>Then if i understand the next line right .. you'll add support>for LPT-r in the plugin ... ???Yes, I will add support for most types of standard hardware such as joysticks, my USB hardware and...LPT-Switch as well.This will remain open source, so you can later add custom features to it or whatever improvements you wish.>You trying to add my "scanner" part of my code into the dll so>that it com.s with FS directly ???Yes that's correct. It will directly interface with FS offsets.-Leo

nice!but then you probably lose the option to use switches ?and the option to send just a key instead of changing an fs offset (which is a problem for guys like me with Fokker50 panel and others with their PM stuff and such)I just hope those guys will add a GUI to this dll like the fsuipc one cuz otherwise i think this thingy is NOT handy !

>Can you tell me which fs do you use and if it is fs2002, have>you got fdsconnect running in it ?Yes I use FS2K2 and FDSConnect is running with it.>Cuz it sais to work with fs2002 .. which is, if i'm not>mistaken fs8 ..

The current version of FDSConnect does not have the GUI interface like FSUIPC. That's what I plan on creating. In its current form, it provides you with access to the internal FS variables only. You need to program your own application to read and set offsets.>I don't seem to get any "fdsconnect" option in the module menu>or something .. Can you tell me if there should be ? Or is>there an other way to get to the GUI .. there IS one, isn't>there ???You can use the SDK to create your own application to read/set the offsets. The GUI will come later they said, but I'm working on it right now.So far they've done the hardest part. Create a dll that attaches itself to the FS process and gives us access to those offsets. They have released the source code for this dll.The easy part will be adding the GUI part.-Leo

Ok, i c now.Last night I needed (and now still do) something that would send values on key-press events in FS to memory addresses that are out of the FS default range. In fact I need to send 1, 2, 3, .. etc to "0x6620" but don't manage with Fsuipc. Therefore I thought I'd give 'your' dll a try.No-go then i assume .. yet ;)OR ! do you know how to do this with fsuipc ??I tried adding to the ini file:[Keys]0=48,11,65686,01=49,10,6620,12=50,10,0x6620,23=51,10,0x6620,34=52,10,0x6620,45=53,10,0x6620,56=54,10,0x6620,6(first line is to center my rudder so that I can manage to taxy straight when I use my laptop and don't have my joystick around :( key-flying is HARD ! :( )3rd line and others are as I first thought they had to be .. no go2nd line is then how i tried to do something else but again .. no gogot any ideas ? or is this not possible ?

Hmm.... Seems I'll need some beta-testers :(Any offers?

*duuuuuh*/me stretches out his hand upwards as much as he canoeh ! oeh ! pick me ! pick me ! pick me !:(
