Didn't notice the .Net simconnect.  I am so glad someone is paying attention!

I feel so lost when I don't have code to look at/debug.

Do what Rob and I did. Go and buy the Turbine Duke for P3d. Unfortunately, I never did get out to the woodpile to get firewood and now I'm heating my house with my PC.

The legacy code needs to be written in.  That's the only way around.  The way it is now legacy code brings in a whole different dll just for a few calls, choke, choke, choke (speculation).

And he can't be linking static if its managed.

I'm not up to multi-engine yet .  Although I am seriously wanting a look at that citation 550.  There was a client at the airport that would take his family out every weekend in one of those things.  Such a happy family.  

I lost my office to the kid, but I had to have an extra vent put in there.  It's so unusually cold here in Texas lately that I am grateful for the extra heat.  I'm in the family room now by the fireplace and the big windows, which is quite pleasant.  But I've used up all my usual stash of firewood by the end of December.  Every time I get a new stash it goes down by the end of the week.  Everyone is shocked when they hear my electricity bills.  I usually build a new PC every 2 years, and the old system is on 24/7 as well as a file/app server.  

 

 

He wrote his own SimConnect wrapper DLL with help from LM, at least that what the comment field on the DLL says.

 

Hmmm ... interesting ... I had heard those rumors mostly about how WideFS works.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Sure you can ... private assemblies.

 

 

 

Everyone is shocked when they hear my electricity bills.

 

ha ha ... our house is solar ... saves us about $2000/yr (enough for a couple of video cards) ... more if my wife buys that Tesla she keeps talking about.

 

Cheers, Rob.

Isn't there a new Tesla SUV coming out in a year or so?  I have about 1200 watts of panels, an Outback inverter and a battery bank all ready to go in the Garage.  I was going to hook that up to the old office, had wiring in place.   

I am actually holding out on the new car for an EV as long as I can.  Because I love to travel on the road I'd also hold out for self-driving, but that is probably going to have to wait.  The funny thing about airports, as long as it's reliable/comfortable nobody cares about what the daily ride is, although there are the toys in the hangers.  They put all their money into the planes.

Most of the FSX SDK simconnect examples are in managed C#. Managed code is where you target a CLR (common language runtime like .NET) and is not compiled machine specific. So you write code that does not have the pitfalls of making mistakes with memory management and security etc. Unmanaged is more work but you're in control. Simconnect is an encapsulation of a named pipe.

Steve, the 3 most active commenters in this thread are developers.  You can still really screw up with managed code.   I've seen it.   That kind of trust can make governments fall.

Haha. Yes too true. Aren't we getting driverless cars soon?

I'm lazy. I haven't looked it up recently.  I looked it up a year ago and remember something about 2019 or 2020, many cars will have models that are for lazy people like me.

Make sure you are not so lazy to forget the tax bill, since you may get in it one day to go to the shops, and instead it delivers you straight to the authorities.

 Taxes are done!  

So what is the outcome ?

Use a different SImconnect version depending on the Addon ?

 

I use ASN on my client pc , as also WideFs.

Ifly on my server....

Hi Gerard,

 

So far for me SimConnect Client v10.0.61259.0 alone has worked with everything I have ... TrackIR, PMDG, ASN, A2A, etc. etc.

 

Unless you have some very old legacy products I'd recommend using v10.0.61259.0 exclusively.

 

Cheers, Rob.

 

EDIT: on a side note, I'm flying the updated MJC Q400 1.013 in v2.5 and I'm just amazed at the performance (FPS), low VAS usage, complex aircraft systems, and wonderful flight dynamics ... 

Besides the ESP version I have 3 FSX SimConnect versions in the Winsxs folder, how do you remove/deactivate the 2 older ones (v10.0.60905.0 and  v10.0.61242.0) ?

I could not remove/rename them (system protected). Or is there no benefit removing them?

I found that changing Win 7 desktop theme to basic stopped the stutters for me.

 

I'm on drivers 337.88 and v-sync doesn't appear to work when set in sim or in nvidia inspector.

 

The stutters are gone, unfortunately uninstalled ESP simconnect, so hope I don't bump into problems there, all addons working ok for now though.
