Multiple application access to FSX

[doia]

Hey Peter,

This is a programming related question rather than FSUIPC specific. I need to write an application that accesses flight data from a buffer. I noticed that FSUIPC allows multiple processes to request FSX data at the same time and they magically don't interfere with each other I am having a hard time doing that (after one process is already open all additional processes won't run) could you please point me in the right direction or give me some tips? Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers

This is only because the process requesting data does it by sending a message. That goes into Windows' message queue, and FSUIPC gets to it in turn. There's certainly nothing really clever in that.

Sorry, I can't really advise on so little information. If you are processing requests via one channel you need a way of queuing things. I leave that problem to Windows.
