HSI question for Umberto

(1/1)

Orion:
Got a small question -- does the Acceleration Hornet HSI acquire facility (i.e. navaid/airport) data through SimConnect (i.e. SimConnect_RequestFacilitesList, SimConnect_SubscribeToFacilities, and SimConnect_UnsubscribeToFacilities) or does it use GPS variables (or some other method I'm unaware of)?   I ask because I'm interested in obtaining facility data through SimConnect, but found that the SimConnect functions have missing data (reproduced here here and here) and was wondering if there's some sort of workaround.

This one. It calls C functions inside the FS9GPS.DLL module, so there's no Simconnect involved in this case. You might find some info here:

Orion:
Ah, using IGaugeCCallback and GetPropertyValue()?  That's actually what I meant to imply by referring to GPS variables.

Is that what the CFSProperty class (well, really its derived CFSPropertyString and CFSPropertyNumber classes) in your interpolator tutorial/sample is for (generalized for any C: variable for a given pGaugeCallback)?

virtuali:
Yes, that's it.

Orion:
Thanks! :D
