with the connection module to MS FS. http://www.newbyte.co.il/ bar86

I've started with the original code and chaged it to a dll structure. I've encapsulated the required data in the chunk structure as described in the documentation and send it periodically. With some additional tricks I've discovered during the development, it works pretty well now (but not perfect!). Last month I did a presentation with two laptops and a joystick at a major European aerospace company and it seems they were really impressed :shock: .

When sending data, MS FS ignores parametrs that are the same as in previous frame. This means that some of the parameters would be overwritten by MS siulation. If the data is artificialy changed a bit, this phenomenon disapears. bar86 Happy New Year !

Hi, I've recorded the header to a file and resend it as is. About the data frame - a word is added to make it to a round DWORD length - that means that the number if bytes devides into 4 (it's a 32 bit OS..). Baruch

Thank you again !!

BTW How do you set zero rate simulation ?

>>> I hope this is the right place to post. As I said...Thank you for your time :oops:

When the simulator enters playback mode it does not enter slew mode (Y command). Pause mode stops the playback as in normal operation. As I understand, during playback the simulators uses it's simulation engine to calculate all the state vector data thet were not transmitted from the external input. I'll keep on looking...

Thanks. I'll try and post my findings...

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post. I've used the netpipes SDK to connect a flight simulation program I wrote to FS2004 as a client. My program runs on one PC and sends the aircraft's state vector to another PC running FS2004. This arrengement works fine but sometime the original simulation engine (of the FS2004) takes control for a frame or two and changes the desired state. Is it possible to disable Microsoft's simulation engine ? Thanks, Baruch
