I may also have misunderstand but what you want relates to windows, not FSUPC.

It is possible to create an .exe file that reads/writes data from FS.

If FS models the aircraft suspension then there can be a lower value than 1.0g even with the aircraft on the wheels.

the offsets (0x0578, 0x057C, and 0x0580) are integers and not floats. The SDK shows that they have only 4 bits

Thinking more about it's a probably a quirk of Windows/Microsoft's C++. Here's a C++ application complied using Borland C++ builder running on Win7 that doesn't. I noted that Task manager itself does appear as an application - it's not recursive .

I think you have missed my point which is that changing the text in the title bar on FSX also changes its name as shown Task Manager. That is not general behaviour and is a quirk of FSX.

It's no problem and I think must be a quirk of FSX. I've written applications that change the title bar without changing its name.

I used FSUIPC to display VAS in the title bar. Now Task Manager no longer shows Microsoft Flight Simulator X but Monitor IPC:024C (S32) 3134840 where the last number is the VAS which, of course, changes.

The solution is thanks to Pete Dowson. see post 3 here.

There is an entry for the range of ILS and VOR/DME in their xml and compiled bgl files. It defaults to 27 nm according to the SDK. ADE9X should be able to display details of VOR/DME at airports. I know of no straightforward way to read them in flight.

My understanding is that FSUIPC Error Number 5 "Failed to create a file mapping object" results from a call to CreateFileMapping() function if the attempt to create a file mapping object fails, or the object exists before the function call. FSUIPC Error Number 9 "Call cannot execute, link not Open" is a consequence of a call to MapViewOfFile() failing to get a view of the object..

To the best of my recollection, FSX gets all its values from magdec.bgl except for VORs and NDBs, and it ignores values in airport bgls.

I'm missing something but what code is that? As I said there are 4 cases to handle: Left off/right off Left off/right on Left on/right off Left on/right on

There are Event IDs described in the SDK for the clock but I'm unaware of any keystroke to control it.

Can you post the code you're using? EDIT There are 4 possible cased for the state of the two engines. Are you handling all four?

It should be double Variable = 0.0;No need then for a cast. Why are you apparently putting this code into a function?

Which timer?

0ffset 0x0c48 is a single byte not an integer. Its values range from -127 for left and +127 for right.

Agreed. What are the advantages of managed C# over native C/C++ in these circumstances?

SimMarket's position seems clear:

Hawker's had a purpose-built analogue computer at the back of the Project Office to help with flight dynamics during the design of the P1127 - the Harrier's predecessor. The test pilots used to "fly" it while we adjusted the potentiometers that represented the aircraft's characteristics to get acceptable characteristics. It used a crude wooden mock-up of a cockpit and a stick and rubber from a scrapped Hunter with a Hunter throttle box modified by adding an extra lever for the nozzles The display was a 6" twin-beam oscilloscope. One beam ran the full width of the display and represented the horizon. The second was a short beam at right angles to the first. That represented a "tree" on the horizon. It was simple but effective.

I'll show my age too :( The first digital computer I programmed was the Ferranti Pegasus at Hawker Aircraft in the early 60s. I also ended up responsible the company's analogue computers -remember those?

I don't think I've used assembler since the early 70s on an Elliott 503.

It was in Visual C++ 2010 Express. How many want to write "raw" Windows rather than using an IDE/RAD for most of their applications?

That is true, but the conversion doesn't work out-of-the-box and leaves the application in a state where it no longer builds in either VC 2010 or 2012 without user intervention. The application can be restored to VC 2010 by changing all occurrences of v110 to v100 in the .vcxproj file - there were 6 in the sample file I used. the Windows Forms Application is still missing.
