find if vor is located on the airport

Hello,

Is there any way for us to find out from the bgl files if a VOR is located on an airport ? Apart from reading the lat-lon values and checking if they match?

Thank you

can PdkServices be invoked from processes other than P3ds?

Hello, Is there any way to access scenario and environment parameters of Prepar3d (such as global temperature,visibility etc) by invoking PDk's services from outside of Prepar3d? Normally we write plugins with DLLStart and stop methods that Prepar3d calls. If we want a console application or some ot...

Re: can weather be implemented as a SIM object?

Thank you. Could you please provide some help on how it can be done? What I have done so far is create a weather.cpp file in my project and written this code: #include <atlcomcli.h> #include <math.h> #include <Pdk.h> #include<IWeatherSystem.h> //#include<servprov.h> using namespace P3D; class __decl...

can weather be implemented as a SIM object?

Hello, I found that the PDK samples where COM objects are created (SimpleCar,SimpleAirplane etc) implement these as SimObjects. Can I also create a COM object like Weather which can be called from a COM client outside of PDK and make available the weather parameters through the IWeatherSystem and IW...

Re: how to obtain CLSID of WeatherSystem Service COM Component

Thank you Clifton Crane My intent is to create a COM weather object as has been done in SimpleCar/SimpleAeroplane/Radar Altimeter examples. If I can create a COM object which has access to the WeatherSystem Services, I can access it from a C# client console application. I am not able to invoke Query...

Re: how to obtain CLSID of WeatherSystem Service COM Component

Also, why does the documentation page refer to them as classes while the header files declare them as interfaces? Does that mean their IIDs are actually their CLSIDs?

how to obtain CLSID of WeatherSystem Service COM Component

Hello, I was just told that I would need CLSID of the COM object implementing the WeatherSystem and WeatherStation interfaces in order to instantiate this object outside of the plugin. My search yielded only IIDs and SID. Should I look elsewhere for CLSID and if I don't find it, does it mean that th...
