SimConnect access via MSFSVariableServices

[Clamb]

Hi,

I'd like to use your MSFSVariableServices to read LVARs. For SimVars and other SimConnection functions I also need a SimConnect connection.
If I understand it correctly, the communication to the FSUIPC WASM module is also via SimConnect. Is it possible for me to "tap into" this connection, or do I need to create another SimConnect connection using the "normal" method as described in the MSFS SDK?

Thanks
 

Best regards
Axel

Hi Axel,

The SimConnect connection for the WASM module is created and managed by John's WASM Client DLL (FSUIPC_WAPID.DLL).

My .NET dll doesn't create a SimConnect connection and if you use it you won't need to create one either.

If you already have one running, I can't see any way you could get John's DLL to use it.

I actually mean it the other way around. Is there a way for me to use the existing WASM Client DLL for my own purposes? So I don‘t have to create my own

No I'm pretty sure that's not possible either. John's DLL doesn't expose the SimConnect connection it uses. I think it's quite normal to have multiple connections open.

Ok,
in this case, I'll just create another connection.

Thanks for your help
