MSFSVariableServices.IsRunning always returning true

[Clamb]

Hi,

I'm on your FSUIPCClientDLL on NuGet version 3.2.22-beta2.

Using your MSFSVariableServices_CSharp example, it looks like MSFSVariableServices.IsRunning is always returning true, even when the connection failed, for example when the sim is not running.
To my understanding, it should return false in this case.

Steps to reproduce:

- Close Simulator
- Run MSFSVariableServices_CSharp
- Click "Start MSFSVariableServices"
- Log will show a failed connection
- UI will be enabled nonetheless, indicating MSFSVariableServices.IsRunning returned true.

Probably this is an issue in the underlying WAPID.dll, but I thought I'll report it here as I can only confirm the bug in your application.

Best regards
Axel

Hi Axel,

My DLL is just reporting the value from the WAPID.DLL, however I've made a mistake with converting that value into a .NET bool.

I'll have a beta for you to test tomorrow.

Turns out to be my fault.

New version is now on NuGet (3.2.23-beta). You will need to tick the [show pre-release] box in the NuGet package manager to see this version.

IsRunning should now behave properly. I can't test it here so I'd be grateful if you could let me know if works or not.

That was fast, thanks!

Just did a quick test, seems to be fixed.

Thanks 🙂
