You are losing precision by copying to a float. Use a double. long long Lat; double dLat; if (FSConnection.ReadAndProcess(0x568, 8, &Lat) { dLat = Lat; dLat = dLat*90.0/(10001750.0 * 65536.0 * 65536.0); } ... ... [/CODE]

Run the ADE environment checker, ADE-Check.exe There is also a support forum at: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=95 George

I use a simple set of batch files linked to icons on my desktop When I modify the cfgs, I have other batch files to save to the appropriate files. George

After a long day, it is now working in FS9 :-) Thanks Pete. George

Hi Pete, I will be happy to do any testing you require when you are ready. I have sent you my email address. Regards, George PS. I use the "no disk" version of FS9.

No, the only applications I have written are started after FS9 and of course I haven't tried any of them. I renamed the .ini file and it still fails on loading. I am not sure what you wish me to do. If you want further logging, please tell me what statements and where I place them. BTW. wxstationlist.BIN has not been recreated, but UI generated flight.WX has been recreated. Regards, George

I renamed wxstationlist.BIN to wxstationlist.BBB and renamed all wx files. Same problem. Created a new flight with the "Clear weather" theme. ********* FSUIPC, Version 3.998 by Pete Dowson ********* Running on Windows Version 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Verifying Certificate for "U:\ZFS9\MODULES\FSUIPC.DLL" now ...

I use FS9 only for testing other people's problems so using the previous version of FSUIPC is not a problem. My normal use is FSX with FSUIPC4

After installing FSUIPC V3.998 from FSUIPC3998fixed.zip, FS9 hangs at 0% loading scenery objects. It works fine with 3.997 of 23rd June.

This is the problem: Checking compatibility with installed SimConnect: Found SimConnect build 60905 (Original), but this is not correctly installed! Found SimConnect build 61242 (SP1 May07), but this is not correctly installed! Found SimConnect build 61259 (Acc/SP2 Oct07), but this is not correctly installed! ... Failed to find a valid SimConnect needed to use FSUIPC4! But I have no idea how to correct it :(

Both the full installer and .dll links can are at: http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66139-updated-modules/

I think Plan-G will work across a network. See http://tasoftware.co.uk George Oops, sorry, I missed the point about moving the user aircraft. I don't think it can do that.

The greatest amount of time during the initial load is spent scanning the aircraft folders. I have just under 1000 aircraft and it takes about two minutes:

On my slower 3.0GHz machine, it takes 2min 37sec for the initial load. It is not much faster on my 4.2GHz machine. George

Thanks Pete :smile: George

Hi Pete, Both of the links to 3.989e and 4.628 are broken :-( George

Might it be possible to reduce the number of pinned topics? With the new forum layout, there is more than a page of such topics. George

No problem Pete. As my manual was dated 2008, I thought there may have been additional offsets introduced later. George

The programmers manual states that the return value for offset 0020 is in metres x 256 returned as a long, however, Simconnect returns its value in metres as a double (to what pecision I do not know). I have noticed a 2mm difference between the values returned by FSUIPC and Simconnect. Is there an FSUIPC offset which will give the the value as a double, ie. the same as that returned by Simconnect? George Edit. Sorry, I should have said that this is for FSUIPC 4.

I use it with Fugawi Maps for the UK. George

Of course you are correct, I was being lazy and not checking any of the return values :oops: George

Thanks Pete. I am using C++ from Visual Studio .Net 2003. Would you believe it :shock: I restarted FSX and set IPC Reads and IPC Writes for logging and the program received the correct value of 56 :? It is also reading my key presses, so everything is working correctly. Sorry to have troubled you, I will use logging if I have any further problems. George

This is the fist time I have attempted to use this feature but I am having a problem with the table size. This is the code: DWORD TableSize; FSConnection.ReadAndProcess(0x320C, 4, &TableSize); but the returned value is 0xcccccccc, rather than 56 as specified in the "FSUIPC for Programmers" document I am using FSX/Acceleration with FSUIPC4 Version 4.5.7.5 Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? George

Remove the entry from Standard.xml. CTRL+VK_SLASH INVOKE_HELP

Note. It costs $25 for the 64 bit version. George

No problem Alan, I can provide you with a manual for Visual C++ Version 5 :wink: George
