[VB Reading Strings - Lost and Confused]

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

[Keyboard trapping]

: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

[Keyboard trapping]

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.

[Sub menu]

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.

[FSUIPC-VB6 Users Need Help]

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

[Parking coordinates]

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.

[Parking coordinates]

You can count on me if I can find something about that.

[Parking coordinates]

Thank you Pete,

Doesn't TTools give you that? AFCAD displays them with their orientation, so I assume it must.

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

[Parking coordinates]

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

[Load aircraft from an external aplication using FSUIPC]

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

Thank you Pete,

as my solution is working, i'm going to tune it.

[Load aircraft from an external aplication using FSUIPC]

I've been tying to find a way of loading an aircraft using FSUIPC, but didn't find anything related with this; I came up with a solution that involves a creation of a file with a fictitious flight situation and then loading it using FSUIPC. It's working but I'd like to know if anybody knows of a different solution?

Best regards

[Version 2.983]

Hi Pete,

you said that "For FS2004 use only FSUIPC versions 2.983 or later can be used."

How can we get this version?

Thanks in advance
