FSUIPC5 sim version at offset &H3308

[herve_sors]

Hi Pete,

Some early users of FSUIPC5 on P3Dv4 indicated FSUIPC5 reports FS Version=12 for P3Dv4 at this offset and not 10 (P3D). Could you confirm that?

Thanks by advance

Hi,

that is correct. P3D v1 through P3D v3 has value 10 and P3D v4 has value 12.

Thanks Thomas and noted. Seems offset &H3124 (labelled specific version of FSX or P3D being used) reports by now a value of 51 (and not 40 to 4x for P3Dv4 as expected) but not a problem as far as we know it is like that ;-)

It isn't too late to change this. I think it's a result of the internal referencing of the difference sims. I can make 3308 give 9 or 10, whichever is next, and 3124 give 4x as you expect. They were both probably oversights in any case, with rather more things occupying my mind.

I doubt if anyone else is affected yet. Version 5.102 will be released as soon as i've resolved a couple more problems. Shall i "fix" it in that release? Or just document the anomalies?

Thanks Pete. Some of my analysis/tracking programs were affected and I already adapted them to correctly identify P3Dv4 from FSUIPC5. So, on my side, better not to change anything unless you have other requests to do so. Documentation would be fine enough.

I think i went to 12 for 3308 because I did think, early last year, that the DTG 64bit version of FSX would be ready long before P3D 64 bit.  So, yes, I think I'll stick tothat.

3124, however, is calculated from the real version number of P3D, and it actually should be reading 40 at present. I've no idea how it gets to 51. I'm investigating.

Aaaarggghhh! Somehow it got the Version reading mixed up -- the 51 you are getting is the FSUIPC version number (from 5.1xx)!

Duh! :-( Fixing now.
