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 (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/airports-missing-from-facilities-request.428998/) here (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/simconnect-airport-list.7997/) and here (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/simconnect-facilities-list.5188/)) 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:

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)?

Yes, that's it.

Thanks! :D
