TokenVars for Pause / Slew?

[badderjet 181]

Are there TokenVars to check pause / slew state (in C of course, no XML)? Just can't find 'em... :-rollThanks,Etienne :-wave

[Guest bartels]

There aren't any. Personally I log ELAPSED_SECONDS and check if they have changed from last iteration. If no we have pause (not too shure about slew).Arne Bartels

Ahh yeah I see. Well the prob with slew will be that time keeps running. And TICK18 is totally useless since it overrides everything, pause, slew, and time compression.Thanks.Etienne :-wave

Hi Etienne,there are two possibilities:1.) Use the FSUIPC interface to retreive this value2.) Read the memory of the flightsimulator (you need the offset of that variable which is set in sim1.dll and stored in global.dll - just debug a bit, you will find it)Regards,Marcel

I dug this out from flightsim.com forum:...#include "FSUIPC_User.h"...DWORD dwResult=0;...#define CENTRE_LEVEL 0x0B74...BOOL FSAPI FuelDump(PPIXPOINT arg1, FLAGS32 mouse_flags ){ DWORD fuellevel=66536*128;//100% fuellevel = (int)((double)fuellevel*0.5);//50% FSUIPC_Open(SIM_FS2K2 , &dwResult); FSUIPC_Write(CENTRE_LEVEL, 4, &fuellevel, &dwResult);... FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult); FSUIPC_Close(); return FALSE;}This was a "fueldump" gauge. You have to link these libraries:user32.lib FSUIPC_User.lib kernel32.lib msvcrt.lib It won't compile in BCC, because the lib format isn't compatible, but VC andGCC work.So with FSUIPC_Read and proper offsets it might work. There are some other possibilities desribed in the FSUIPC SDK.Arne Bartels

Hmmm if it does not compile with BCC that's bad... :-hmmmThanks for the research anyway. Does FSUIPC generally not work with BCC?Etienne :-wave

[Guest bartels]

My problem was, that the FSUIPC_User.lib isn't BCC compatible (BCC uses a different file format then VC or GCC). There are tools to convert this, but the result was also not working.I saw a possibility by recompiling one of the samples of the FSUIPC SDK to generate a new BCC compatible FSUIPC_User.lib, but I didn't check that in detail, because I didn't need it, having other compiler possibilities.So I wouldn't say there are general problems with BCC and FSUIPC, it just doesn't work "out of the box".Arne Bartels

Ahh ok, thanks. Maybe when I get some time I gotta start fiddling around a bit with this stuff.Etienne :-wave
