• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX FSUIPC Update values - C

I just started using FSUIPC. I am trying to create a table in C that acquires a series of variables from FSX (latitude, longitude, altitude, aicraft type, flight number).
I can get all the parameters fine but I don't know how to make it so that they are updated at a specific rate.
Can anyone please post an example with a loop that updates the value from FSX at a specific frequency?

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

This is the function that will be called:
Code:
static VOID CALLBACK TimerCallbackProc(          HWND hwnd,
    UINT uMsg,
    UINT_PTR idEvent,
    DWORD dwTime)
{
/* your code goes here */
}

Hope this helps.
