The FSX replay 0628 = 0 problem

[Slopey]

Just a quick one for Pete,

When in FSX and using "instant replay", there's a message in the bottom left of the screen which says: "Replay: XXX - ESC to Stop" where XXX is the time remaining. Would it be possible to check for that message (it's the same place as the "BRAKES" and "SIMULATION PAUSED - Press P to continue") to determine if 0628 should be 1 or 0?

You've probably thought of this already - I seem to remember doing something similar a few years ago and checking memory locations for specific text to set a flag with.

Just a thought,

Cheers,

S

How does one read messages displayed in graphics on screen? Seems like quite a lot of graphical analysisand made next to impossible if there's other red pixels around?

No. Why would I? As far as I know there's been almost zero demand for those old offsets to be supported.

I seem to remember doing something similar a few years ago and checking memory locations for specific text to set a flag with.

Memory locations? Are you going back to the days of text-based screen buffers?

Regards

Hi Pete,

never mind - just a shot in the dark. I was hoping the bottom left text message would be stored at an address you might have come across before, and could be interrogated. :)

Cheers,
