Need contact for an advanced application of FS+FSUIPC

[MatzeH84]

Hi,

 

the company I work for is specialized on industrial automation. We, together with another well established company, would like to build a flightsim with a cockpit attached to an industrial robot, similar to the DLR DA40/42 system, but limited to entertaining and showcasing purposes on exhibitions.

While I have good knowledge on the users side of FSX, I have very little knowlege of programming and what's going on deeply under the hood.

Therefore I'd like to establish the contact between you and one of our programming partners in order to exchange some technical details on what data can be extracted out of the FS, and how it's done, before the project may start at all.

Could you send me an email adress as PM so I can forward it to our partner?

 

Best regards,

Matthias Hanel

Quite honestly I think you should be using SimConnect directly, not FSUIPC which from this perspective is really predominantly a compatibility layer between SimConnect and applications originally written for FS2004 or before, or some newer ones intended to cover both FSX and the still strong FS2004 user base..

 

Full documentation and many examples for SimConnect are provided within the Microsoft SDK.

 

In any case, for commercial application, you should really be looking now at Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D, though you'd need to restrict the use to "academic and training" purposes because entertainment isn't allowed by their EULA. (God forbid that anyone might enjoy it! ;-).

 

The Prepar3D SDK is freely downloadable from the P3D website.
