• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Invoking PDK Services as COM Components

Hello,
As the IWeatherStation inherits IUnknown, can it be invoked as a COM component from C# code? Is this possible for IWeatherSystem too?

How would one go about it?

Thank you
 
Yes, it's possible. And I'm agree with ronh that this will be very hard if you are not an expert in C#, dll, native vs managed code Interoperation, COM Callable wrapper and so on.
I recommend to use native C++ with COM interfaces well described in PDK.
 
I see. Thank you. I am just a beginner. Is it possible to code a C++ COM server that exposes the 2 interfaces - IWeatherSystem and IWeatherStation - and invoke this server from a C# COM client?
 
I tried to accomplish this through ATL COM C++ server and client but encountered a read access violation exception upon calling P3D::Init. Is a call from the Prepar3d process the only way of invoking?
