Can't pause FSX

[HondaCop]

Hello everyone,

I keep trying to pause FSX but I am unable to. I am writing a 1 to the 0262 offset, but to no avail. Anyone has any idea what could be wrong? According to the SDK, it says that you can write to this offset, but it's being listed as Ok-SimE "for write only, works okay, but resorting to Sim Events via SimC, not SimVar reads or writes". What does this mean?

Anyone?

I guess I'll have to wait till Pete is back from vacations, if I am going to get an answer on this.

Sorry for the delay -- as announced here, I have been on holiday.

It works fine here. Have you checked it with FSInterrogate? I think you must be doing something wrong. Please use the IPC read/write logging (Options Logging page) and check the log. Show me if you don't understand it.

If means that when you change that offset, FSUIPC4 has to see that and send a normal FS control (PAUSE ON/OFF or TOGGLE, whatever) to FS to make it work. SimConnect provides only a reeadble value,m not a writeable one, so this is forced on FSUIPC. If you enable Event logging to you will see the event/control being sent.

Note that only current versions are supported, so if you are not on at least 4.28 please update first.
