HOW TO send a text message to the user of FS2004 ?


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody,

I want to write a text message (as ATC control's text for example) to the user of FS2004.

Write the string to offset 3380 using FSUIPC_WriteS, and a code (for delay, scroll, whatever) to 32FA using FSUIPC_Write. Check the Programmer's Guide in the SDK for these offsets.

regarding to this issue: Is it possible for displaying a text message similar to the ATC's window in FS2004 VIA FSUIPC and VB?

Thanks.

Yes, that's exactly what Pete's post told you how to do.

I mean a window looks like where you select which ATC you would like to switch your COM to...

Programs write their 32-character (max) zero terminated title to IPC offset 6D60.

Didnt understood what I need to write into that offset. Any help please?

Thanks.

Only a Window title, if you don't want the Window called FSUIPC Window, or whatever my default is. Isn't "title" clear enough? Sorry if not.

A title is the text in the title bar of a window. This is the (usually blue) bar at the top of a Window containing the program name or something similar.

I just wanna be sure, In the older FSUIPC versions is the same offset were used to write a normal single line at the top of the screen (where FS usually notify for players joinning etc)

The offsets haven't changed. The message area is 3380 with a control word at 32FA. Please refer to the Programmer's Guide, part of the FSUIPC_SDK.

Regards

Pete
