Hey all.

I have bought the NGX while ago and today started working with its SDK.

I linked it to the SimConnect.lib but it says there are 8 errors with this file

 

 

 

Error 2 error C2059: syntax error : '<'..\SimConnect.lib 1

Error 3 error C2018: unknown character '0x60' \SimConnect.lib 2

Error 4 error C2470: '´' : looks like a function definition, but there is no parameter list; skipping apparent body ..\SimConnect.lib 3

Error 5 error C2059: syntax error : '>' ..\SimConnect.lib 3

Error 6 error C2059: syntax error : ';' ..\SimConnect.lib 3

Error 7 error C2630: ';' found in what should be a comma-separated list ..\SimConnect.lib 3

Error 8 error C2059: syntax error : '='..\SimConnect.lib 3

 

The file is the original one, didn't touch it

 

 

What could be the problem?

 

 

Thanks in advance

Have you added the lib directory and inc directory for the simconnect dll and lib to your projects.

 

Right click on your project - select properties.

 

C++ - General - add in the inc directory from the FSX SDK

 

Linker - General - add in the lib direcotry of the FSX SDK

Thank you for reply

I have done what you offerd, still got 8 error just as before

Are you linking to the right lib?

The one at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\lib

Also try adding the lib to the Project Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies

Hey Dario how are you?:)

 

I have made sure both directories are correct and added the the directory to input with no results.

An image with the directories is added, could you please confirm i have did it as well?

 

 

Thank you both for helping

You have to link each lib, not the directory. At least I think so

 

I actually didn't really understand how to do it..

Would you please explain it deeper please?

or maybe help me individually..?

It's not a linking related error, rather points to a syntax error.

 

There's no way to tell without looking at the code.

 

Also might not be exactly 8 errors.

 

With C++, all it takes is one missing ";" and you get a deluge of errors as a consequence.

Usually i use C# so I am really not familiar with C++.

I didn't write the SimConnect.lib, its came apart of the FSX SDK

Maybe there are mistakes in my code?

Is it possible to manipulate the FMC to add in company menus or is this just for adding drivers for hardware

Ash: At this time, it is not possible to communicate with FMC or to read from CDU, all you can do is push buttons.

Could one of you upload a project which works so i will find my mistake?

 

 

Thank you

By the way

 

If it matters, FSX and FSX SDK are not installed on the same disk

I believe there is a C++ VS2010 project in the PMDG SDK.

 

Also this link may help

Its not a project but only one CPP and not the entire solution.

I will have a look on your link, thank you
