<t>There is a callback that normally returns ObjectIDs for newly created aircraft. -> simconnect_OnRecvAssignedObjectId. If you create an effect, that same callback will return an effectID.<br/> <br/> Don't worry, even people like me that program for over 25 years are sometimes completely incapable ...

<t> That brings me to the subject of 64 bit!…why after all these years of every simmer pulling their hair out with these common issues, would a developer decide to step in and create an FSX enhancement platform in 32 BIT !!!! <br/> <br/> There was no 32bit enhancement platform created.<br/> <br/> Th...

<t>It all depends on what you want to do.<br/> <br/> Me, I am just starting up any fast jet, release brakes, hit full throttle, go airborne and raise the gear. Thats about as far as I go with startup procedures.<br/> <br/> But if you want to learn how to properly start up a real aircraft, you have t...

<t>I have no idea how it will influence Tileproxy and thus overall performance.<br/> <br/> My guess is that the 4790K will still be the better processor, because I highly doubt that Tileproxy will need more power than the remaining cores of the 4790K. There will probably be other bottlenecks like di...

<t>Prepar3d works just fine with the Oculus Rift.<br/> <br/> First, if you want to run with the Oculus you should get the 4.0 GHz version of your CPU and then overclock it to like 4.4 or something. Secondly, you need a better GPU like the 970 and the 980.<br/> <br/> Last, you will still not get cons...

<r>The Intel Core i7-4790K currently is better than any Xeon and definitely better than an Intel Core i7-5930K (3.5 GHz).<br/> <br/> To judge which one is better, just look at the single core performance benchmark:<br/> <br/> <URL url="https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html">https://www.cpub...

<t>If they go straight for v3.0 they probably are working on 64bit.<br/> <br/> I don't think it makes much sense to announce a major version without a major feature. And 64bit probably IS that major feature, unless they have been hiding something else for quite some time.<br/> <br/> So my bet is:<br...

<t>There are addons that are purely FSX addons and will not work in Prepar3d, whatever you do.<br/> <br/> So the developers of those addons have to make them compatible.<br/> <br/> If you think it is bad now, wait until Prepar3d releases as a 64bit version... at that point in time ALL 32bit based ad...

If you only set position and attitude in Prepar3d of course all the instruments will not work. In order for the instruments to work you have to fill all of the variables Prepar3d is usually simulating.

If you are talking about SimConnect... this has nothing to do with the real DLL callbacks. Everything running over the network is obviously asynchronous.

I am pretty sure it works because I was running four computers with Warthogs since version 2.0 up to version 2.4. I never had ANY problems. :P
