finding aircraft files

[mkmantis]

I'm trying to find some info about current aircraft from inside a dll, but I have troubles finding path to .air file -- what is stored at 0x3c00 in FSUIPC. Apparently, that value there is constructed via some calls to sim1.dll, but I just can't figure out the whole process. Would someone help me on this?

Looks like i've found it myself.

It seems like acontain.dll has a fixed dw variable at 20662300, which points to some structure, first dw of which points to what seems like an aircraft container :)

so with code like

MOV EAX,20662300

MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX]

MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+8]

LEA EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+C]

we get a szpointer in eax to a string like 'aircraft\c172'. Pretty.
