FSUIPC FX docs?

[Capt_Geoff]

I tried the link http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/FSUIPCDK_407.zip but it can't be found.

In any case - I am wondering if there is the ability to "send Key event" in FS X programmatically via the FSUIPC? According to M$ in the Traffic Tool box you can select an AI aircraft and send it an event - ie gear down, etc. Does FSUIPC for FS X give us the ability to do this? BTW - I do not have FSX but if we can send events progammatically to AI aircraft I might just buy it (and FSUIPC 4 too).

It works fine from here, I just tried it from your message!

Yes. Please see the main FSUIPC SDK available from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson. It works the same way. The intent is for everything in the main table there (at least) work the same in FSX. The document you couldn't load does include some extra stuff for FSX, but not a lot.

Do note that not all controls you can send to AI are obeyed by them. they only operate a very small subset. Best to check first using the Microsoft Traffic Explorer facilities (available for FS9 and the Deluxe version of FSX). I don't think FSX AI will obey more than their FS9 counterparts, so you can always check first in FS9.
