Really if you don't know why you need it, then you don't need it. Develop things the other way around. Work out what you want to do, then see how you can do it. Then, when you investigate FSUIPC (e.g. through the FSUIPC SDK) you may find it useful, or you may not.

But don't start the other way, saying "hmm, everyone uses FSUIPC so I shouldbut why?". Use it perhaps to help solve problems when you know the problems, not the other way around.

what is really FSUIPC?

Fundamentally it is just an interface into FS for other programs. It has grown with the additions over the years of many other facilities, mostly requested by users, but its basic function is a programming interface.

i am a little confused about it.

That's probably because you are looking at it and trying to see where it fits rather than look at what you want to do and see what you then need to do it.

Thank you

yesterday i started to use the FSUIPC and i finally knew why to use it and how via your great SDKs i really was looking to access the FS2004 variables and i found FSUIPC has given me this.

Thanks and sorry for the disturbance.
