Possible cross compatibility issues with FSDT bglmanx.dll

[Perk 0]

Hey Ed, could you confirm which simconnect version the hypergauge.dll is calling in P3Dv2/3?  Ran into a problem with bglmanx.dll crashes (FSDT addon manager .dll) when loading aircraft with the GNS 530/430 installed.  Turns out if I move the hypergauge.dll call AFTER the bglmanx.dll in dll.exe everything works hunky dory.  FSDT seems to think (see this thread), it's a simconnect version conflict of some sort.  They're calling the FSX SP2 Simconnect which apparently contains some functions (Simconnect_text() in particular) that aren't in the FSX RTM version.  Thinking is that if an older version of simconnect is called first, the FSX SP2 version can't load for some reason (possible Windows side by side issue), and it causes the dll crash for any dlls calling the version specific functions.

 

No big deal as I got the issue fixed, just curious.

 

Thanks!

Sure... Hypergauge doesn't touch SimConnect.
