FSUIPC_FS_Version ?

[GHD]

I am just starting to understand the FSUIPC interface from Visual C++ and have compiled the example UIPCHello. This compiles ok, however on running it with FS9 running, I get:

Sim is:--------------(null)

FSUIPC Version:--3.411

FSClock:------------11:09:36

What does FSUIPC_FS_Version return for FS 2004 ?

What I hope to do is just extract the current aircraft position and heading so that I can create XML code to define a runway and parking from the current position and heading.

Ah, it's just that the source hasn't been updated for FS2004. You should be able to do that easily enough.

What does FSUIPC_FS_Version return for FS 2004 ?

As documented in the Programmer's Guide The prime reference for all information from FSUIPC, excepting the more complex weather interfaces). In fact it is from the offset 3308:

FS version, as determined by FSUIPC: Currently only one of these:

1 = FS98

2 = FS2000

3 = CFS2

4 = CFS1

5 = reserved

6 = FS2002

7 = FS2004 “A Century of Flight”

Thanks Pete,

I just ignored the FSVersion reply and collected the position and heading which worked fine, all I need to do now is to use a Hot-key to determine when I should retrieve the values. I'm still reading the comprehensive documentation so I'm sure I will figure it out very soon.

Thanks for a great interface.
