[FSX] FSUIPC Update values - C

[Simon853]

You can set up a Windows timer in your executable that calls a function every so many milliseconds and then put all your FSUIPC code in there to get the data and update your local variables, i.e.

This will setup a timer that runs every 55 milliseconds, which is roughly equivalent to the FS update rate or 1/18 seconds.

int timerId;
timerId = SetTimer(NULL,0,55,TimerCallbackProc);

This is the function that will be called:

static VOID CALLBACK TimerCallbackProc(          HWND hwnd,
    UINT uMsg,
    UINT_PTR idEvent,
    DWORD dwTime)
{
/* your code goes here */
}

Hope this helps.
