P3D v4 Determine P3D version

[Paulnd]

Hello,

What's the easiest way to determine the P3D version (academic, professional or professional plus) in a c++ gauge?

Thanks in advance

Look up SimConnect_RequestVersion in the P3D SDK

I'm sure the OP solved his issue by now, but for anyone else interested, here is a complete example, seeing as SimConnect can be pretty rubbish to work with.

It only needs calling once, so I have set it up such that it only gets called once.

SIMCONNECT_RECV_VERSION sc_sim_ver; // We will store the info we receive in here

void CALLBACK SimConnect_Callback(SIMCONNECT_RECV* pData,DWORD cbData,void *pContext)
{
    switch(pData->dwID)
    {
        case SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_EVENT:
        {
            SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT *evt = (SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT*)pData;

            switch(evt->uEventID)
            {
                case EVENT_SIM_START:
                {
                    if(sim_init == false)
                    {
                        SimConnect_RequestVersion(hSc,REQ_SIM_VER_INFO);
                        sim_init = true;
                    }

                    break;
                } // end case
            } // end switch
        } // end case

        case SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_VERSION:
        {
            SIMCONNECT_RECV_VERSION *ver = (SIMCONNECT_RECV_VERSION*)pData;
            memcpy(&sc_sim_ver,ver,sizeof(SIMCONNECT_RECV_VERSION));
        } // end SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_VERSION

    } // end switch
} // end SimConnect_Callback
