I'm familiar with SimConnect being used for masking user input for things like PITOT_HEAT_TOGGLE to allow intercepting the event, and after performing some logic, then triggering the event (which in the PDK [PanelSystem->TriggerKeyEvent(event_id, value)] seems straight forward). I've looked at the P...

Thank you, I will take a look. It's much appreciated.

Is there an example of how to get an instance of a panel service object via the PDK? I've looked over the examples and all I seem to find is where it's used to register and unregister a key event handler but not much else. I would like to do something like this via the PDK: IPanelCCallback* pIPanelC...

We have managed to get the eyepoint offset from the PDK using GetCameraOffset() successfully. We have also successfully gotten data from GetLLARadians and GetPBHRadians. However, using GetCameraOffset() only gives us the offset from the default Virtual cockpit eyepoint, as it is specified in aircraf...

Think I found it, it the Window and Camera Service:

GetLLARadians
GetPBHRadians

I'm aware of and have used the following LLA and PBH Pvars (through simconnect) that get the eyepoint active "camera", ACTIVE EYEPOINT LAT, Radians ACTIVE EYEPOINT LON, Radians ACTIVE EYEPOINT ALT, Meters ACTIVE EYEPOINT PITCH, Radians ACTIVE EYEPOINT BANK, Radians ACTIVE EYEPOINT HEADING,...

This code hasn't changed since it worked in v4.4. I simplified the code in the earlier post. Here's a section of code which gets called at 18hz: if (!override_gear_warning) playLandingGearWarningSound(); else if (override_gear_warning) stopLandingGearWarningSound(); The larger context of that snippe...

Clifton, thanks for the rapid response. To answer the first question, the debug log shows this sequence: pPdkSoundInstance->Play() IN playSound() RETURNED S_OK pPdkSoundInstance->IsPlaying() IN stopSound() RETURNED E_FAIL pPdkSoundInstance->IsPlaying() IN playSound() RETURNED E_FAIL pPdkSoundInstanc...

The other forum topic related to this problem was marked resolved: https://prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6311&t=131939 I have updated to 4.5 and now the warning sound (that was working) will play once and then the next time IsPlaying() is called it returns E_FAIL. The same code that was wor...

Doug, thanks for reminding me, I had forgot that it was there.

Is it possible to have multiple gauge declarations (one non-GDI+ and one GDI+) compiled into one DLL? I have experimented, talked to other developers, and so far it doesn't seem to work. So far, I can have one visible gauge, but not two or more in the same DLL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Clifton,

Thanks got it.

Benny, thanks for your reply. Thanks, Clifton for the information. Both your responses make sense as to why I'm getting the results in the debugger. I do have a followup question, I declare the both CComPtrs for the sound service and the sound instance as private. I initialize both smart pointers, i...

Benny, Sounds like a plan to me! And thank you for helping. I had some time to dig a little deeper on this today, I ran down the error when I check if IsPlaying() is true or not, the HRESULT comes back as 0x887800aa. That error code is, I'm pretty sure for the LM sound.dll which I assume is using Di...

Thanks Benny, Then the only other question I have is why once the CComPtr which is a class variable (private) is initialized in the constructor becomes useless (the value it returns in the HRESULT looks like a hexidecimal value) when I call the Play() in a class function. I can call play in the cons...
