I've been adapting a few of the examples to write data capture program for test flying and ship location.
I've used Visual Studio Express 2008, however when I sent them to some other people to try out they didn't work, I'm guessing because they don't have the run time libraries. I've spent the last hour or so trying to get the same routines to compile in Visual Studio 2005 as I understand the run time libraries are included with FSX anyway. Unfortunately I keep getting a long list of errors with simconnect.h, almost as if I hadn't set up the paths to the lib and inc directories except I have! Does anyone know why this is happening or have a link to a step by step guide to setting Visual Studio 2005 up for simconnect development?
I'm guessing the other option is to stick with VS '08 as it's working, but I don't want to rely on the end user having to download the run time libraries when I go beyond the beta testing stage.
