  1. Hi Olaf, check this link http://www.fsvpi.com Using this with FSUIPC can be powerfull. Regards Armando Chibante
  2. Martin, please try this: go to FSUIPC, Technical and uncheck 'Discon elev trim axis for AP'. That worked for me Bye bye Armando Chibante
  3. Hi Brian, This is how I read a string in VB6: Dim acName() As Byte Dim CraftName As String Dim dwResult As Long Dim cnt as Long If Not FSUIPC_Read(&H3D00, 256, VarPtr(acName(1)), dwResult) Then Exit Sub ' Aircraft name If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then cnt = 1 Do While acName(cnt) <> 0 CraftName = CraftName & Chr(acName(cnt)) cnt = cnt + 1 Loop End If Hope this helps Armando Chibante
  4. :D Thanks so much Pete, I was rounding the solution without seeing it, but when you said it was possible, then I read the manual more carefully and there it was!!! it's working. Thanks again Armando Chibante
  5. Hi Pete, I've been trying to understand the key trapping process with FSUIPC, but I don't (sorry). What I want is to detect a certain keyboard sequence within FS (let's say CTRL+SHIFT+T) and then do something in my program (external program, written in VB). Is it possible? or am I confusing with Hotkeys, which seems to me, are only used to work with FS Controls. Thanks in advance for your time. Armando Chibante
  6. Thank you Peter, yes, I'm writing an external program. I'll try your suggestion. Best regards Armando Chibante
  7. Hi, I know how to add an entry to the modules menu, but now I'd like to know if it's possible to add sub menu items to that item, and if yes, how's that done. Thanks in advance for any help. Armando Chibante
  8. Hi, in my opinion: -------------------------------------------------------- Private Sub Timer1_Timer() Dim ISpeed As Long Dim dwResult As Long If FSUIPC_Read(&H2BC, 4, VarPtr(ISpeed), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then IASpeed.Caption = Format(ISpeed/128,"0") End If End If End Sub -------------------------------------------------------- Bye bye Armando chibante
  9. Hi Pedro http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?t=17185 check this topic and see if this helps; if so, we can talk better about this, just email me at armandochibante@netcabo.pt Best regards Armando Chibante
  10. I emailed Lee Swordy posting my question and as soon as I get an answer, I'll share it with you guys. I already have the document from Winfried Orthmann that Ian Box suggested and I'm studying it; it seems to have the information I need, but I need to check it against FS2002 too. Thank you all for all the suggestions. Best regards Armando Chibante
  11. You can count on me if I can find something about that. Best regards Armando Chibante
  12. Thank you Pete, Yes indeed, AFCAD does it, but the files extracted with TTools only gives airport information; there must be a way to get parking information as well as other facilities information from the BGL files. I'm going to search on other forums. Thanks again Pete Regards Armando Chibnate
  13. Hi Pete, I suppose this isn't the correct place to post this question, but maybe there's someone who can give me a clue: I would like to know how to get the list of parking areas for a given airport. I know I can use TTools to extract the airports information, but I need the list of parkings with coordinates and heading for each one. Any help will be apreciated. Best regards Armando Chibante
  14. Hi Wim, the solution is associated with two main factors: - with FSUIPC you can load a flight; - you can open a flight with a text editor and examine its contents; By examining a flight, you find several sections, but the most important for the moment is one called [Plane.0] with something like this: [Plane.0] Aircraft=Beech Baron 58 If you create a file with only those lines and with a different a/c, when you load the flight it will change the a/c without changing anything else. With this in mind, with your programing language, you can create a temporary file on disk, write those lines to the file, load the flight (aircraft) and then delete the file. I use this on a program with a big timetable and aircrafts associated wih each flight; after choosing the flight, the user doubleclick the aircraft and load it. I'm using VB6; if i can help in anything else... Best regards Armando Chibante
  15. Thank you Pete, as my solution is working, i'm going to tune it. Best regards Armando Chibante
