Thanks, Ian... Well deserved for Paul!

BTW guys, I just want to give props to Paul, not only for this awesome DLL which has been a blessing for me, but for the OUTSTANDING support he provides. It's something that really needs to be brought out in the open. He's always available no matter what the question is and is extremely professional. My hats off to you, sir.

Thanks for the explanation, Paul. I will just keep the timer that I use to process all FSUIPC offsets at 100ms... :-)

Hello Paul, Is there any advantage in running a timer at 100ms instead of 200mn or even slower? What would be the fastest timing to set a timer and not cause issues with FSUIPC and this DLL client?

Paul, sent you a PM.

Gotcha, thanks Paul...

That did the trick, Paul! Thanks! BTW, pardon my ignorance, but do we still need to have a reference to the fuel tank's FSUIPC offset in order for your Payload Services class to work or no? I want to update my code to use the PS instead of directly calling the offset and I was wondering if that offset still needs to be set.

Paul, that was exactly what I needed! Only thing is that I don't understand VB... Do you have those samples in C#? BTW, I did contact the author of XPUIPC and there is indeed an offset that tells you if the sim is X-Plane or not... For those interested, it's 0x6FFF... If the sim is XP, then it returns a 1 otherwise it's a 0.

Paul, I am having a little problem. How can I set the aircraft total payload to ZERO when connected to FS2004? According to the FSUIPC SDK for FS2004, payload can be accessed via 0x1400 with a size of 48 x n, but I have no clue how to code it so that I can set the total payload to zero. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That makes sense, Paul... Will contact them. Thanks!

Paul, I loaded up X-Plane 10.21 along with XPUIPC and my App along with your client DLL worked very nicely! As far as I was able to see, everything worked as if it was FSX running! I do have a question though. How can I detect that it's X-Plane running and not FSX? My app displays FSX as the sim running. Any ideas?

That did the trick, Pete! Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply, Pete. I will try what you did with Excel and see how it goes.

Hello Pete, I downloaded your MakeRunways utility and when I tried importing the runways.xml file into an Access database, it imports fine but with one issue. It will not create an ICAO ID column for the airports or runways. It will show all airports, one per row, but the ICAO column is not displayed. Is there a way to have the XML tell Access to create a coumn for ICAO ID as well?

Hi Paul, first of all, thanks for this client DLL!!! Ok, I downloaded the .NET 4.0 version of your client and was wondering if it would still work if compiled with VS2012 and targeting .NET 4.5? Reason being is that I need to make a Windows 8 compatible version of my application... Thanks in advance...
