[FSUIPC and VB]

Yeah i was a noob and thought i had the latest version so i went to your website and got the latest version number. I dont know what was wrong.

It must have been my incorrect coding in VB before.

I know when programming in PHP you get an error just by missing off a simple " or a ;.

Ahh the reason it wasnt working earlier was because my version must have been too old and when i downloaded and installed your new version it worked well sort of worked but i need to have a special accredited key which i had to request from pete.

Thanks for both your help.

As my friend always says to me RTFM (need i say what that means :P).

Thanks again

Ok, i have an update for you, i reinstalled FSUIPC and now it is connecting because Flight Simulator goes mad saying that it is unregistered.

So basically i cant do what i was wanting to do unless i buy FSUIPC?

Oh well, i wont be able to do this now as im a full time student and i am always very low on funds.

Thank you for your help guys.

Hi Pete and jd,

Not even to the example in the SDK.

I am using FS Interrogate. I used it to get the code of Slew Mode.

It just doesnt connect to FSUIPC. Like i keep saying over and over, i get error 7 which means Incorrect Version.

SIM_ANY and SIM_FS2k4 both dont work so soemthing must be wrong somewhere.

Pete, in the log file i just found this..

73344 C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\Project1.exe

73359 Product="FSPROG"

73359 Company="Home"

Does that mean it has opened the connection correctly?

Please can one of you send me a working copy of a VB program that accesses FSUIPC then that way i will know if it is working or not?

Thanks in advance, Dave

Hi Pete,

Im not saying that FSUIPC isnt working well it isnt working in a way if you know what i mean.

The example in the SDK doesnt work so that must show that there is a problem with my FSUIPC dont you agree?

I have changed my VB code around to find that i get error 7 i basically just did if(FSUIPC_open(........)) then have a msgbox.

The problem is is that it wont open, it keeps saying incorrect version (error 7).

I have just had a thought, does my .exe file have to be in the same folder as the FSUIPC.dll when i execute it?

And yeh, FS is running when i run the program.

SIM_ANY is defined in the FSUIPC.bas module.

[FSUIPC and VB]

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim dwResult As Long
Dim Slew As Integer

Call FSUIPC_Open(SIM_ANY, dwResult)
If FSUIPC_Read(&H5DC, 2, VarPtr(Slew), dwResult) Then
    If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then
        If Slew = 1 Then
            MsgBox "Slewing!"
        Else
            MsgBox "Not Slewing"
        End If
    Else
        MsgBox "Cant Process. Error code: " & dwResult
    End If
Else
    MsgBox "Cant read. Error code: " & dwResult
End If
End Sub

I just dont understand what the problem is. I am always getting the "Incorrect version of FSUIPC" error.

If your wondering if i have the FSUIPC module included in the project, i have.

I have tried multiple versions of FSUIPC and still having no luck with it.

[FSUIPC and VB]

I think im having a problem with my actual FSUIPC. I have corrected myself as it says in the manual and its still getting nothing.

To prove this, i checked the error number with the numbers in the bas file and i got error number 7 which means incorrect version of FSUIPC but why am i getting this if i have the latest version (3.5.0)?

Dave

[FSUIPC and VB]

Thanks a lot for the replies guys.

Yeah it makes a lot of sence to open a connection first Doh!

But im just confused why the example in the SDK doesnt work.

Hi There guys,

I have been playing around with this FSUIPC module for a few days now and i just cant figure this out.

Im trying to get my VB program to read and check FS if im slewing or not.

I currecntly have this code..

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim dwResult As Long
Dim Slew As Integer

If FSUIPC_Read(&H5DC, 2, VarPtr(Slew), dwResult) Then
    If FSUIPC_Process(dwResult) Then
        If dwResult = 1 Then
            MsgBox "Slewing
        Else
            MsgBox "Not slewing
        End If
    End If
Else
    MsgBox "Cant read FSUIPC"
End If
End Sub

I just keep getting the error "Cant read FSUIPC".

Also the example in the SDK doesnt work either.

Please can someone help me.

Thanks in Advance..

Dave
