  1. What FDC version, what FSX version, what FSUIPC version?
  2. If php can interface with Windows DLLs...
  3. you will either need to talk through FSUIPC or through SimConnect. Either will require writing custom software.
  4. If you get it from the official source (which you mentioned) it's clean. If you get it from elsewhere, there's of course a risk (though if it's a trustworthy place like Avsim that risk is minimal).
  5. yes, it's available in both versions. If it weren't the standard version wouldn't work at all, especially the weather and mission system ;)
  6. sounds like the application is loading the DLL explicitly by filename (which was the default 10 years ago, but no longer is), which would be a problem. Wonder what else it does that's got better alternatives in the Win32 API.
  7. ok. Your questions seem to indicate a fundamental lack of Java basics, that's all. Some more practice with the commandline instead of an IDE is certainly in order :wink: I tried the test application yesterday on my machine and it worked fine.
  8. your last commandline tries to run a class called class contained in a package called Test. That would equate to a file class.class in a directory Test. You seem to have very little (if not none at all) experience with Java. Maybe you should start with some beginners' tutorials?
  9. your error message showed it could not find a class test. That means you'd tried "java test" instead of "java Test". Also make sure you have the dll from the test directory on your system path. Having it in the same directory you call java from will work fine. And add the current directory (".") to your classpath as well.
  10. Java is case sensitive. You need to have the class Test (capital T) in a file names Test.java (capital T) which gets compiled into a file called Test.class (again a capital T). You then need to call it with "java Test" again using a capital T.
  11. try then when running you will need Of course change the commandlines for the correct location of the jarfile if it's elsewhere :) As an alternative you can set the classpath permanently by creating (or changing) the system variable CLASSPATH from your system properties to include the jar.
  12. Crosspost. Most likely you are having classpath problems. Give us your complete classpath and your compiler command line and maybe we can help.
  13. What is the exact command you're issueing to the Java compiler? And what is your classpath? Give those and I may be able to help you, as it sounds like one or the other is incorrect.
  14. Thanks, setting the same command to the release command did it.
  15. They indeed use something of their own it seems. When I use another GF module to change the OBS1 setting it doesn't affect the CRS indicator on the PMDG MCP. When I change the value on the MCP the value displayed for the OBS on my GF166 does change (so their AP values are backported to the default radios but not read from them). I did read others having the same problem programming the RP48 from FSUIPC for the PMDG 737, extremely slow response and having to turn the knob for a very long time to get any response at all.
  16. There is a response but it's extremely slow. I tried putting the CRS selection on a knob on an RP48 and you have to turn the knob all the way around several times to get a single degree of change on the indicator for example. Bit of a bummer as GF uses the PMDG as an example for programming their controls using FSUIPC...
  17. There's a reason this will never work (and quite apart from the obvious legal reason that you'd never get it certified by the FAA or anyone else for use in an aircraft as an aid to navigation) and that's the simple question of where the heck do you think to get your altitude data from? GPS data doesn't (and cannot) include altitude data, you'd need to get that from another source which would mean illegal tampering with the aircraft systems to get an electrical signal out of the altimeter which would without doubt void the airworthiness of the aircraft. You'd have to get the whole system certified by the aviation authorities in your country afterwards which they'd never agree to given all the reasons Pete has given already.
  18. Just an afterthought. Is this possibly the same Dash 8 as discussed in the thread "FSUIPC 3.22 won't allow Fanda Dash 8"? If so, please check that thread -- the answer may well be there already. Regards, Pete Most likely. Don't know of any freeware Dash8 of any quality for FS2004. Of course the PSS Dash8 is also hosted at Avsim but most people will never know that as the download is handled through their installer which doesn't show the URL :)
  19. One question: wouldn't it be cheaper to get a real aircraft and in winter place some plasma screens in front of the windows? :lol: :shock:
  20. Pete, what about people that got their key from you personally (people that donated etc.). Not relevant now maybe, but could be handy in the future (I know I got mine in an email from you yourself for example). I burn all my keys and license files on CD once a month or so with the rest of my system backup. I think everyone should do that, CDs last longer and are less easily put in the wrong archive (aka garbage bin) as are sheets of paper.
  21. Only the latest released version is kept on the website. Older versions are no longer officially available, unless they are bundled with a 3rd party product.
  22. OK, didn't have the latest SDK to check out, and the older version I have doesn't provide Java access.
  23. Welcome to Java. You'd need to master JNI to interface with FSUIPC, and possibly write a small wrapper in C or C++ to expose the functions you're interested in. If you're looking for a good editor, take a look at http://www.eclipse.org Far better than SunOne IMO, and doesn't obscure away the language from you forcing you to learn the tool rather than the language.
  24. your one and only post here is an accusation and flame. Most if not all users have no problems whatsoever (and in fact I think your only problem is wanting a freeby over the heads of others and not getting it).
  25. FSFlightmax 1.4Pre-something works in FS2004. Haven't tried the 1.0. Weather radar is not working (or so I've heard, I haven't tried it), but otherwise it is functional. The database is of course outdated, but if you (like me) use it mainly as a moving map with real charts that's not much of an issue.
