• 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.

Is there an objdump, objcopy, gdb equivalent for Windows?

I love the RXP Garmin GPSes but they do not work with FSX-SE due to referring to an incorrect memory address. This seems like a fixable issue, so I'm trying to patch the RealityXP gauges to fix up to the proper memory addresses. I've never done any development work on Windows though, so I'm not sure what the dev tool equivalents are.

Basically I'm looking for a usable disassembler like objdump. I found objconv via googling, but I can't get it to decode DLLs into actual instructions, just series of .byte directives ._.

I'll also need to read the memory space of the running FSX process like gdb can do with attaching to a running process; which Windows tool lets me do that? Finally, I'll likely need some way to relink to change offsets like objcopy. Is there any Windows-equivalent tool?

Sorry for the newbie questions, but I've literally never done any development on Windows in my life. Google search results that aren't IDA pro seem to be out of date, and I'm not going to pay for an IDA pro license just to do a freeware project (though it would satisfy my disassembly and process attachment needs).
