Tom68 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I've looked at the Lua examples and I can build and run the C++ example in Visual Studio. So I know how to read/write the offsets. In Lua, there are events that can be used to read input from joystick buttons. What's the equivalent in C++? I've searched and really can't find anything. Thanks.

Tom68 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I guess I should add I'm using FSX with a registered version of FSUIPC 4.973. I just want my C++ program to know when a joystick button is presses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that, as it says, you need to actually have the relevant joysticks actually scanned by FSUIPC, which means at least something assigned. But then the same applies in the Lua library facilities. BTW the FSUIPC you are using is out of date. You should update. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom68 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) OK, with 60 pages of numbers, I did miss that one. Thanks. Part of my question was also that Lua seems to have a library call that allows attaching a callback function to provide notification if a button changes. (I think) For C/C++, with just access to an offset, it must be polled to detect when a button changes. True? Also, I just downloaded & registered FSUIPC in the last week or so. I misspoke I actually have 4.974. Is that the latest? Awesome program, by the way! Edited January 10, 2019 by Tom68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Quote For C/C++, with just access to an offset, it must be polled to detect when a button changes. True? Yes! You could, of course, write a wrapper around the provided functions to implement a callback mechanism if required... 4.974 is the latest supported version, however there is a version 4.974b which contains an improved Lua ext library (see the 'Updated Modules' support page: ).

Tom68 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 OK. Thanks for you help. And a cool product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Maybe you should take a look at Paul Henty's client dll for .net - I haven't checked myself but I think thats more OO and may have callback facilities....of course, c# not c++.
