Progamming help with FSBus dll

[388TH_A]

Yeah that would make since just to make sure the wires are going to the right pin. And how do you know what kind of stepper motor to get?

Do you Stefan or David have skype?

[sgaert]

You get a PM.

[RobiD]

My wife does, but I can join, no problems.

I'll PM when I'm done.

My C++ i can only use with FS2004 right now. for what ever reason im not able to use it with FSX. Would you guys be willing to post your code of your main CPP so i can compare it with mine. And also can i have one C++ exe and use it for both FS2004 and FSX? I mostly use FS2004 but also would like to use my stuff with FSX for when i do Multiplayer Pilot/Copilot. Here is the code im using right now, what do i need to change so i can use it with both?

Hey Trevor,

FSbus only know FSUIPC.
There is no differance between FS9 or FSX.

Hi Stefan,

This is what I thought too, so thanks for the confirmation.
