FS Version

[CougarFool]

Hi,
Recently I've noticed that FSVersion is returning the string 'Any' instead of MSFS etc.
This is the code I use to extract it:

Dim sSimVersion As String = String.Empty
If bConnectedToFS Then
    Dim fsVer As FsVersion = FSUIPCConnection.FlightSimVersionConnected
    sSimVersion = fsVer.ToString
End If

And the extract from a user's flight log:

Flight Log:
[12:22] - C208B Passengers
[12:22] - FS Type: Any
[12:22] - FSUIPC Version: 7.501

Does any one know why it now reports 'Any'?

Thanks.

Which sim are you connected to? If it's MSFS2024 you just need to update to the latest version of the DLL.

Hi Paul,

Certainly happening for MSFS2020 and possibly 2024. Not all the time though!

Edit: Confirmed happening with 2024 as well. Again, not all the time though.

Further edit: It also reported '14'.

14 is the value for is MSFS2024. I don't think you're using the latest version of the DLL.

The puzzling thing is that you say it's working sometimes. Do you mean that you sometimes see "MSFS2024 (VX.X)"? If so are these on the same machine or are these reports from different users?

Thanks Paul.  I've never seen "MSFS2024 (VX.X)" so that could well be the issue: the release version of my program is using an older version. I have updated it in my development version so I'll just have to put up with it until I can roll out the new version!

Thanks again.
