 and running!
And since the entire plugin logic is running in the same process space like the flight simulator I guess that SimConnect_CallDispatch - when called from that DLLStart() function - will register the callback with the flight simulator itself. Hence (I assume) it is the flight simulator (“server”) logic itself which calls our callback, just after the server has sent a new message.
Or put differently: only if we extend the flight simulator platform itself with a DLL (“plugin”) is this “DLLStart() callback registration” pattern possible. But not if we are talking about DLLs which are linked to our own, separate executable (which is the case for me).
Apologies if I was covering old ground, I confess I hadn’t read the full thread.
With regards to the Windows Events being inefficient when frequent events are to be handled, I would have to slightly disagree.
I’m in the process of developing a client/server scenario for remote desktops, which requires many variable requests to be handled (each displayed instrument uses at least 1, usually several, SimVars), which are requested once but have many values being supplied by SimConnect.
It all depends on how you handle the WndProc events being raised.
If you are processing each raised event within the same thread or handling each request from start to end, then yes, it is inefficient and costly.
If you’re filtering the events and initiate the handler within its own thread, by invocation, then it’s very lightweight.
When debugging my code, I am monitoring the entire client/server environment, with many instruments being displayed and updated. The server component is by far the least costly in terms of resources and works extremely well.
You would only ever need to handle each event within the WndProc method if it was absolutely time-critical, but given the overall speed of how things respond in an aircraft, I cannot think of a single scenario where you must know of (and respond to) something the exact microsecond it happens - I’m happy for you to disagree.
I intend to publish the Client/Server code soon for anyone to use, once I complete the code changes needed for handling remote images (e.g. a GPS instrument). So my offer to share a snippet of code above is a little premature but was always planned.
The other benefit of using the Client/Server scenario is that it removes the obfuscation and complexities of the annoying nuances when dealing with SimConnect directly.
The code I’m developing also allows access for remote applications by exposing an API to request SimVar values and can co-exist and interact with applications developed in virtually any language, accessible from almost any PC on your network.
It also has many other features built-in, such as auto-notification when FS is running or stopped, caching the latest values for each variable requested, remembering which client has requested which variables, the last time each value was updated, the last time each client was updated, auto-resubmission of previous requests when FS restarts and many more.
I’m hopeful the code will, in some form, be helpful to any future developers wanting to use SimConnect, and perhaps provide a simpler interface for those wishing to avoid dealing with SimConnect entirely.
 Expect creamy vanilla, vibrant fruit and soft grassy notes running through this one. Perfect for all sorts of classic cocktails and mixed drinks, though definitely more than suitable for sipping neat or over ice.

– My Review –
Ace of Shades was hands down the best book that I read this month! Ah! It was so good! When I first heard about this book, I wasn’t sure if the plot was for me. But I decided to follow my instincts rather than my head, and I’m so glad that I did, because I absolutely loved this book! This was the kind of book for me where I would start panicking when I saw how there was less and less left for me to read the more that I progressed into the story. I loved the world (which is a fantasy setting that reminds me a little of 1920s and 30s New York or Chicago, but with magic), I loved the mood and atmosphere, I loved the characters (and character development), I loved the relations between characters, I loved the magic system, and I loved the plot and pacing of the book!
I think that this is the fastest that I read a book in a while, and it wasn’t a short book either. (Also, I am in no way complaining about the length! If anything, I would have liked it to be longer so that it wouldn’t have ended so quickly!) It’s been a few days now since I finished this book, and I cannot stop thinking about it! The book hangover is great with this one, haha. I absolutely loved Enne and Levi (and their chemistry was insane!), and adored some of the supporting characters as well. And I’m sure that they will all grow on me even more as the series continues. I am dying to know what will happen next, and will most definitely be reading this series all the way to the end. I highly recommend this dark, sexy, and twisty book!
