Using FSUIPC Lua modules in an external program


Recommended Posts

Hey Pete,

I'm writing a custom HUD program using LUA and need to be able to access FSUIPC offsets for various values ( airspeed, altitude, attitude, etc).

Is there a way to reference the ipc extensions from "straight up Lua"  outside of FSUIPC and Wideclient?

Thanks,

Jeff

No, they are provided by library code within FSUIPC and WideClient. You'd need a library DLL written that you could call upon. I don't think Lua provides the sort of Windows access you'd need to make an FSUIPC client application, but you could look at the source of the supplied application LIB in the FSUIPC SDK to see if you'd like to build one.
