however i wanted to constantly extract the data out while the FS2004 is running how do i extract it out using c++?

[kiek]

does not matetr what language you are using:

Open FSUIPC

LOOP "ENDLESSLY"

READ data from FSUIPC;

USE data from FSUIPC

Sleep for a number of msec (say 50 if you want to sample 20 times/second)

END LOOP

Open FSUIPC

LOOP "ENDLESSLY"

READ data from FSUIPC;

USE data from FSUIPC

Sleep for a number of msec (say 50 if you want to sample 20 times/second)

END LOOP

Or, so you can process Widows messages too:

Open FSUIPC

Set a timer (SetTimer API) for 50 mSecs, say

On timer:

READ data from FSUIPC;

USE data from FSUIPC

EXIT.

On Quit:

KillTimer

Close FSUIPC link.

You don't open FSUIPC's file. You don't deal with DLLs at all. The FSUIPC DLL is installed in and runs as part of Flight Sim.

You need to get the FSUIPC SDK and check the examples there for the language you are using. When we say "Open FSUIPC" we mean "open the link to FSUIPC" -- this uses a call to a procedure/function called FSUIPC_Open.
