Module for Flight Simulator
« on: January 05, 2006, 03:48:26 pm »
Hi,

I am interested on sites / documentation that shows how to create modules for flight simulator.
For instance, imagine that I have a VB software that I want to couple inside Flight Simulator ...

Anyone knows good sites to see that ?

Thanks.

Like the flight logger?

If I'm rambling on about the right thing, you might want to look into FSUIPC, as the module interacts with FS and the program.

Well, the idea is not the flight logger.

The idea is to create a software like the ActiveSky or the IVAP, where the software is running "inside" the flight simulator ...

FSUIPC still doesnt have the point because it's an interface to "talk and listen" to the FS ... Not what I want :)

Then it would be rather like FSPassengers, or Activesky. I think a very basic solution is to place a dll inside the Modules folder. The DLL itself would use variables from FS and could interact with it. Maybe you should check the SDK files on the Microsoft server. ;)

Ask the guys who made IVAP? I'm sure they would give you a brief idea of what to do.

Actually, fairly easy to answer - the FS9 SDK documentations...

Try www.microsoft.com...

But, if you can use FSUIPC to do whatever it is you're doing, use FSUIPC. It makes the guts of FS a bucket-load easier to work with...

Tim and Murray, get on msn please ;D .

The idea is not to use FSUIPC.

Imagine a software like FSPassengers or ACtiveSky that will have an application form to be opened inside our Flight Simulator. So, I want to know how to do it too ;D

That's the idea. :)

But that I was allowed to from work... In that case, the FS9 SDKs from Microsoft, but they aren't easy reading.

Hmm... that looks good, I could like my ActiveSky 6 and Flightlogger to the flightsim for easy findings!
