• 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 Unresolved external DLLStop/DLLStart

Hi all,

I've been programming C++ gauges for years but never really tried using a module dll so far. I thought I'd give it a try to move some of my calculations code out of the gauges and into a separate dll (makes updating much easier for one).

I followed the guidelines in the SDK but when I try and compile the dll (VC++ 2008) I always get:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol DLLStart
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol DLLStop

The SDK specifies that I have to include a .def file that exports these two functions like this:

LIBRARY "SC_module"
EXPORTS
DLLStart
DLLStop


Where "SC_module" is the name of the dll off course.

Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue ?

Edit: trial and error is your best friend.... found it!

Thanks,
Björn
