• 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.

Simply DLL

Hello guys,
I'm trying to crate a simply dll for my scenery. With this dll I should be able to set values for usrvr5 and therefore, condition my objects.
Basically I read an offset and set value for another one (without checking its value for the moment). Here's my code:

PHP: 
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "FSUIPC_User.h"


BOOL APIENTRY DllMain (HINSTANCE hInst,
                       DWORD result,
                       DWORD size,
                       LPVOID reserved)
{
    int visibility[5];
    
    //test code
    if (FSUIPC_Open(SIM_FS2K4, &result))
    {
        FSUIPC_Read(0x238, 3, visibility, &result)
        FSUIPC_Write(0x0DDE, 1, &size, &result);
        FSUIPC_Write(0x8001, 12, "IKB3BI67TCHEtest.dll", &result);
        FSUIPC_Process(&result);
    }         
    FSUIPC_Close();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

My DevC++ compiles my dll succesfully, but when I put it into \modules folder, fs does not load it. Anyone know why?
I'm newbie with C Dll, so I don't know how to debug.

thanks
 
Hi,

I would have to dig up my own DLL code to see the real differences, but one thing I am missing in your code is a sort of timer or loop to make sure this call is done more than once. Now it will probably happen only once.

Also, you will not see much of your DLL being loaded, unless you have coded a menu entry in it as well. So the only way to see if it is running, would be to check if the variables are set correctly.
