Hi all!
Just out of curiosity ......
Are there any AHK users out there that are also MS Flight Simulator enthusiasts that write Utilities for Flight Simulator or make add-on scenery?

I bought an older version a few months back and have played it maybe twice... I wonder where that CD went... Laughing

Hi all!
I see many of you like to feel the solid ground under their feet.

The newer versions of Flight Simulator loads a dll file and this can be called to retrive Aircraft Position altitude etc.
This is very handy when writing utilities to position objects for scenery and such like.

Although I have the SDK for this dll for VB C+ and others, I can't manage to adapt these for AHK use using the dllcall.
I'm sure it can be done but up to now no joy.
Anyway I'll keep trying.

I'm a big FlightSim buff, but due to its immense time-sucking potential I find myself resisting it for months at a time and then hit it hard again.

As for add-ons, the only thing I've ever contributed to the community is a keyboard re-mappping, so the key controls are organised into logical groups instead of the ad hoc default settings.

Hi!
So there is one flyer around.
I'm also on and off with Flight Simulator, however in the past I have made a scnery for Malta for FS 98, and a landclass scenery for FS2004, besides some utilities.

Just in case you are interested:
