I hate to break a long silence with an unhappy note, but here you have it: http://pc.ign.com/articles/947/947737p1.html?RSSwhen2009-01-23_103300&RSSid=947737 Yes, the studio is closing and development on Flight Simulator 11 is being "indefinitely

One issue that we've seen internally is that some of our needles sometimes appear jagged on our analog gauges. If it's been a while since encountering this issue, we may not remember that gauge bitmaps need to be at least 4 pixels wide in order for the

I just noticed today that our EH-101 has 3 generators (one for each engine), but we only have switches for turning two of them on and off... thus you can never turn off the third one, which means that as long as that third engine is running, the electrical

I like this video because it demonstrates what I expected to see in FS when I started using it years ago: the ability to walk around and into an airplane. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly0eo2cuT6g

It looks like a common mistake made by people creating XML gauges is to use too many percent signs (%). For example, I saw this in a 3rd-party gauge recently: %{if} % (On)%{else} % (Off)%{end} The underlined percent signs are unnecessary, and the parser

In the XPack SDK we added more documentation about the enumerations relating to the GPS, but it looks like we left out some, too. Some people were investigating what each meant based on trial and error, but I think I can help out a bit here. For example,

Based on the lack of references to "process_shared_event_out()" and "GAUGE_HEADER_FS1000" in a popular search engine and the fact that I've gotten a few questions on the subject, I'm guessing that the understanding of how to share data between two instances

Let's say you're posting to a forum and not getting responses from the person or people who you think should be responding. If you think that voicing your concerns in an aggressive manner to that person in front of a hundred or so of their colleagues

Someone was asking about this earlier today, and now that we're not busy getting XPack out the door, I finally have time to answer it. We made some changes to the XPack code base to allow this. And we added a flag to gauges.h: IMAGE_ERASE_ALWAYS. Note

I've gotten some questions about Shared Cockpit over the past months, and I believe that a response is well overdue at this point. I plan to cover the topic in several posts, focussing on the aspects of shared cockpit that apply to 3rd party add-on developers.

Did you know that ctrl-k will disable/enable your joystick in Flight Sim? I didn't. I can imagine accidentally hitting that key combo and then having a heck of a time trying to figure out why you can't control the aircraft with your joystick. There isn't,

IIRC = "If I remember correctly". And I thought it might have something to do with IMC . :)

Because the app refers exclusively to the path in the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSPerfDrv\ImagePath. And Don't forget the \??\ before the path name (although I don't know what that's for).
