  1. Thanks Pete, for your fast response. Unfortunately we can’t reload complete flights, since the student has to be able to change the flight plan on-the-fly. Please let me ensure whether I see the things correctly: the “Project Magenta way” means to implement the functionality of a flight management system + GPS, and to send instructions to FS using FSUIPC. That means for instance, to calculate a new value for heading dependent on position, track, wind etc., then to calculate an approach path and so on. Is that correctly? Originally, we hoped to come around a FMS-implementation by using the most realistic aircraft model we could get. Many thanks for helping me! Oliver
  2. Dear Pete, I want to ask you for help to solve a problem which probably is only marginal dealing with FSUIPC. We use FS2004, FSUIPC and WideFS in a training application. In our training system, the user doesn’t have access to the FS2004 user interface. Instead, FS is running “under the hood” on a separate machine. We created an application with a generic graphical user interface. It tracks all user input, controls the FS via WideFS and FSUIPC, and creates a simplified view of data coming from FS. So far, the things worked very well. But now, as the project continues, we have to deal with Flight Plans. Our training application has an inbuilt flight plan editor. The question is: how to bring it into FS? Currently, the control application loads a file into FS, containing a flight plan with two waypoints. Then it ‘manually’ changes step by step values for previous and next waypoint in the GPS section. This method works in principle, but it isn’t a clean solution. The GPS sometimes seems to resent that kind of manipulation. A better way would probably be, to create a *.PLN file, to write it to the FS system, and to cause FS to load it into the current flight. But how could this be done? I searched the forum for help, and found your answers stating that FSUIPC doesn’t provide any access to flight plans - except the fields in the GPS section. If you would be on my position, how would you solve this task? Would you perhaps create a FS module, which would load a flight plan from our training application into the current flight? Could this be generally done? Unfortunately we have no experience in FS module development. Could you please help us to come onto the right track? Many thanks for reading me, Oliver
