FSUIPC SDK integrate C++

[BenHuur]

Hello,

I have FSUIPC with Prepar3D and I want to create a program to get the Prepar3D's information through FSUIPC.

To do this, I would like to use Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and the FSUIPC SDK. The problem is that I don't usually use Microsoft Visual C++ and I don't know how to integrate the SDK.

I don't really know what to do with the .h .c .lib and .rc files...

Can anyone help me please?

This is really not the best place to try to learn a new programming language. If you are intent on learning Visual C++ I strongly suggest you get a proper teaching book on the subject.  Writing an application for FS is not the easiest way of starting unless you are already a programmer.

Thank you for your quick response.

 

What I actually try to do is an overhead of Boeing 737 for a simulator. I have Prepar3D, iFly-373ng, FSUIPC (registered) and iFly2Fsuipc.

I want now control the lights of my overhead with 3 Phidget 1032 boards (http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?product_id=1032).

I started to create my own program to interface FSUIPC and Phidget : I can control the Phidget and thus the lights, but I can't have access to the information of the lights in the FSUIPC.

 

I tried to use the FSUIPC SDK but I'm not good enough to use it.

 

Is there any other solution ? Or a place where I can find the status of the lights (.ini file,...) ?

 

I am sorry to disturb you, but I have looked after a solution over the internet for a week and I don't find...

Doesn't Phidgets come with an FSUIPC interface?

Why choose C++?  I you sre not already a programmer then that is not a good choice.  In fact there really aren't any choices if you are not a programmer.

 

Or a place where I can find the status of the lights (.ini file,...) ?

 

How would a program INItialisation file help control lights? The control for the iFly lights is presumably via iFly2FSUIPC. or possibly by keyboard shortcuts? I don't know, I don't use any iFly aircraft and don't know iFly2FSUIPC. I als don't know anythng about Phidgets. I really think you need to look at the support of one of those places for help. I don't really understand why you would choose Phidgets and Ifly2FSUIPC if you don't know how to use them, and certainly if you need to write a program the first thing to do is to learn how to program.
