Dear Mr. Dowson, While I was working on your VB sample code, I realised something. When I first start FS, it's local time is the same time that I see in task bar of XP. But When I Pause the flight for 10 mintues, FS Local time is beeing delay for the length of Pause ( in this situatin 10 min. delay occurs ). FS does not update its' local time after the pause. Is this a normal thing or a bug of FS ? Regards,

Dear Mr. Pete, I apologize for the inconvenience :oops: . Everything is caused by confusion of terms. When Jamie sent the reply, I did try to solve the problem in that way. I had tought that "FLOATING POINT DOUBLE" is a different variable that can be use in C. Anyway by the help of Mr.Pete I realised where I did make the mistake. Now I solved my problem. Thank you for your help.

Hi , I don't know how to handle " floating point double " in VB. So I try to apply the example which is on the FSUIPC VB SDK text file. It may be wrong but I don't know where did I make the mistake :oops:

Hi Jamie, According to your suggestion I corrected my code. Now it looks like : Dim lnData As Currency Dim lnMiles As Double Dim dwResult As Long If FSUIPC_Read(&H6048, 8, VarPtr(lnData), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then lnMiles= lnData * 10000# lnMiles=lnMiles / (10001750# * 65536# * 65536#) .... I don't know if the calculation is true. I did it according to the example. But I think that this calculation is used to calculate LATITUDE. Also In the SDK it is mentioned that the value is in Meters, so I should have to make a convertion mtr -> nm. While converting Mtr to NM, which value I should use to divide, 1.6 or 1.8 ?

Hi Everybody, I'm confused and can't find any solutions for my problem. I'm using VB6.0 for programming. I'm trying to read offset 6048 to get the distance to the GPS Active waypoint : Dim gpsData As Byte ( CORRECTED By MAD SCHATZ ) ReDim gpsData(8) If FSUIPC_Read(&H6048, 8, VarPtr(gpsData(1)), dwResult) Then If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then ..... Now the value returned in gpsData array is like : gpsData(0)=0, gpsData(1)=48, gpsData(2)=177, gpsData(3)=161 gpsData(4)=238, gpsData(5)=139, gpsData(6)=78, gpsData(7)=1 gpsData(8)=65 So now I don't know what to do with these numbers ! What must I do with these numbers ? Does anyone have any suggestion ?

Hi Mr.Dowson We all thank you for this powerfull Add-On. :D Thank you Regards

Hi Mr.Dowson, I found a little bug on the FSUIPC.BAS file. I fix the problem. And I would like to inform you about this fix. Problem : When The first attemp to connect to FSUPIC the FSUIPC_OPEN function is used. Everything goes well. You can have version of actual FSUIPC.dll. But when you try to CHECK the connection by using FSUIPC_OPEN, because of the earlier established connection, the function returns with errorcode 1 (Attempt to Open when already Open) and exits form function. Before exiting from function, the vesion information is reseted. Resolution: Change the place of initialize varibles in FSUIPC_OPEN function : ' abort if already started If (m_pView& <> 0) Then dwResult = FSUIPC_ERR_OPEN FSUIPC_Open = False Exit Function End If ' initialize vars nTry = 0 fWideFS = False i = 0 FSUIPC_Version = 0 FSUIPC_FS_Version = 0 Regards,

Dear Mr. Dowson, First of all I would like to thank you for your fast reply. I did solve my problem. Thank you for your help :D

Hi Everybody, I'm trying to implement an utility for my self. I need to know my distance to a DME. On the SDK I saw that 0C29 offset does this. When I try the offset, I get a value someting like 825110576. This value increases/decreases with the distance to DME. In the SDK " DME1 distance as character string " is written in the explanation of 0C29. When I examined the offset with FSINTEROGATE, I saw that the value returned is LONGWORD.But when I examine the offset with FSLOOK, The value is FLOAT64. I'm confused about this. Which one is true ? Or are they the same thing ? Also how must I handle this number ? How can I convert it into NM ?
