TrafficRadar / TCAS for XML version 2.0. Beta testers?

Recommended Posts

>Or I could have followed Bills instructions on>flightsim.com's panel forum in the first place and used the>/MT (Release) or /MTd (Debug) settings. Then no external dll>for multi thread debugging is needed. It was even the>standard setting for my VC++ 6.0 projects. Shame on me.:-lol Arne, it took me awhile to figure that out myself. "Somewhere" (perhaps the IDEHOW2?) I read to use /MD for my Release gauges... and had the devil's own time trying to track down why the durn thing would run on some, but not all systems.Then, I started using Depends.exe and seeing what was what, and discovered that all problems go away (and the gauge is smaller!) using the /MT for release and /MTd for debug... ;)

I think the problem you found, has nothing to do with the wrong compiler switch I used. It has to be something else. On XP system you shouldn't need the gdiplus.dll, it is already part of the system. Did my old version work? The one without the TCAS symbols (trafficradarxml.zip). With and without the gdiplus.dll in the fs9 folder.

Use the Bright flag.E.g.:...
   <CustomDraw Name="fs9traffic:radar" X="100" Y="100"  Bright="1">

Hi,question on the XMLTrafficRadar.dll from Arne. Does this .dll also works for FSX ?? If so, do I have just to convert the XML code for the radar.xml ?And, where do I have to place the .dll element into ? In the MODULES folder, in the GAUGE folder or in the FSX main path ?Dietmar

I've never managed to get it to work, and unfortunately Elvis (er, I mean Arne!) seems to have left the flightsim scene entirely... :(

Thank's Bill for your reply.I guess you are right as far as Arne is concerned, and I do not get his traffficXML.dll ( at least in FSX ) not to work also.So, I will see how far I get with the FSX C:ItrafficInfo parameters. RegardsDietmar
