i was playing around with the managed system event SDK sample. i added one additional event to subscribe to. it's the FlightSaved event. i added the following line in the section where events are subscribed to:
the sample project runs fine and receives notifications for the other events, but not for FlightSaved. i tried saving a flight from the free flight screen, and while flying. the event just never seems to be sent to the simconnect client. is this a known issue? has anyone successfully subscribed to FlightSaved? i'm running FSX SP2 and SDK SP2.
here's the full code:
Code:
simconnect.SubscribeToSystemEvent(EVENTS.SAVEFLT, "FlightSaved");the sample project runs fine and receives notifications for the other events, but not for FlightSaved. i tried saving a flight from the free flight screen, and while flying. the event just never seems to be sent to the simconnect client. is this a known issue? has anyone successfully subscribed to FlightSaved? i'm running FSX SP2 and SDK SP2.
