Clamb Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Henty Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 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.

Paul 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Henty Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 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. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamb Posted October 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Ok, in this case, I'll just create another connection. Thanks for your help Axel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
