Hi,

as I've read in the docs the instant replay flag (offset 0628) is not supported in FSX. How should I detect if the FSX is in instant replay mode or not?

I've wrote a piece of software for our virtual airline for collecting and transmitting all data needed for a sufficient flight report inside our sophisticated dispatch system. The recording and analysing of the flight has to be stopped as long as instant replay is in use - otherwise the data will not be correct (e.g. travel distance, fuel consumption, real flight time).

Is there a workaround for the offset 0628?

Best regards

Sorry, I don't know. There's no provisions for this in SimConnect at all.

Maybe Microsoft didn't realise it would be needed. Write to tell_fs@microsoft.com with your needs and reasons, so that they at least might have it listed for some future update.

If anyone does find out how to detect this mode I'll try to use it to update offset 0628 in an update to FSUIPC.

... my application has to work with FSX. I will try to find a workaround.

Maybe the window title changes. The problem with checking for window titles, however, is that they can be not only translated for different languages (a problem possibly overcome by reading the correct string from the Language DLL), but I think additional views and Windows can now be added via the camera system, so it is difficult to predict.

If you do discover a programmable way of finding out this mode, let me know and I'll try to use it to update the offset. But it must be a way which works on any user's system.

Regards

Pete
