Hi,
I want to have access to parameters in FS2004, e.g. to retrieve the airspeed, weight on wheels, etc. or to set any parameter e.g. the true heading, etc. This must be done using an external application (.exe created using Builder or .NET).
I have looked at the Netpipes SDK and the Panels SDK.
Using Netpipes SDK I was able to extract the data that is exported to the video recording file. Unfortunately this data is very limited (only about 40 flight parameters).
In the Panels SDK is stated that is was possible to get data from FS using the Panels API with C funtions such as 'lookup_var' and others. However, I could not find a proper example program to do this.
Does anyone know where I can find sample code to get/set parameters in FS from an external application?
Thanx in advance
Heinrich
