Hi, nope...you cannot run a newer SimConnect client with an older SimConnect Server (which is basically the P3D version). As you might make requests that are simply not supported by the server and would lead to unexpected behaviour. The other way around works, though: comile against an older client ...

Hi guys, I am a little unsure regarding this function declaration: virtual HRESULT GetProperty( __in LPCWSTR pszPropertyName, __out LPWSTR pszProperty, __in UINT uLength, __in int index = 0 )const If I want to fetch a string property into a wchar_t buffer[], is this method expecting me to put in the...

Hi,

for me, this works. Render() is being called. So I guess there must be something with your code somewhere.

Greets, Ben

To chime in: do you do some simconnect exception handling somewhere in your code? Maybe an exception with further information is thrown before you receive SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_QUIT. But of course you have to handle it.

Hi guys, I am trying to port some D3D11 render-to-texture functionality over from v4 to v5 before completely migrating the code to D3D12, which will take quite some time. According to this SDK article it should be possible: https://prepar3d.com/SDKv5/sdk/pdk_api/samples/texture_and_effect_render_plu...

Hi Ahmed,

I don't know if that helps, but why do you query for the legacy IID_IWeatherSystem and not directly for the current version IID_IWeatherSystemV430 of the interface?

Hi, are you sure you are actually working on the current ICameraSystem? I am constanly checking GetCurrentWindow() and GetCameraSystem() and see whether they are returning different objects than the ones I am doing calculations on. Once I figured this out, everything has been working out quite well....

Hi guys,

just wanted to chime in that also with Prepar3D v4 SDK 4.5.13.32097 this doesn't seem to be fixed.

Greets,

Hi John, you can use the variables in the following link in conjunction with the ExecuteCalculatorCode() function of the PDKs IPanelSystemV400 interface to query the GPS system for a lot of flightplan data: https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/sdk/panels_and_user_interface/gauges/references/gps_variables....

Hi adiemus, well...I am not super proficient with this stuff, but as I am able to do the following: ExecuteCalculatorCode("(>C:fs9gps:FlightPlanWaypointIndex, number)", nullptr, &waypointNo, nullptr) in order to set the current waypoint index of the GPS system And it actually changes ...

Hi adiemus, well...I am not super proficient with this stuff, but as I am able to do the following: ExecuteCalculatorCode("(>C:fs9gps:FlightPlanWaypointIndex, number)", nullptr, &waypointNo, nullptr) in order to set the current waypoint index of the GPS system I would think that you sh...

Thanks Jonathan for the hint. I looked at the link you provided and compared it to the PDK documentation of the Panel System Service...while I could recreate the TacPack approach with it, I don't see the advantage coding-wise over just using ExecuteCalculatorCode() from within my module. They are wr...

Just as a follow-up: I know I can use ExecuteCalculatorCode() from the IPanelSystemV400 to retrieve flighplan data from the gps system, but this seems a little cumbersome to me...but if need be, I will go down this route, for now. Just looking for some confirmation that there actually is no other wa...

Hi guys,

does anyone know a viable way to retrieve loaded flightplan data (esp. departure and destination ICAOs) via the PDK as well as getting notified if a new flightplan is loaded? Is this even possible, yet?

Thanks for your help.

Benny

Hi guys,

can be disregarded. In the meantime I've found out that the renderer is also running on the main thread. So no problem.

All the best, Benny
