• 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.

Weather.dll

Hello,

I have been playing lately with the friction mods of the sim1.dll. First the hard coded one (using usual way with hex editor). Then I moved on to doing that in real-time, like FSUIPC does through the LUA scripting. (Well I guess I use the same technique).
This "opens" some perspectives. For instance, it is possible to access the API calls of all the DLLs loaded in P3D (sim1, weather etc).

The weather.dll has some interesting calls inside, such as a "get precipitation conditions at lla".
Anyone has played with that?
What are the legal implications? I am not changing the file itself, nor doing any decompilation, just accessing the memory shared by the same process in which my normal P3D module addon lives.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
JL
 
Legally speaking, you have to ask, "what are the legal implications of distributing edited intellectual copyright," before you can be charged with attempted distribution of intellectual copyright.

You are not the only one....FSUIPC, PMDG, FSLabs, ASN, and others I won't mention are doing just that. No distribution of P3D files. Just real time code injection. Nothing wrong with that really. Sometimes not even code injection. Just calling an undocumented exported function.
 
Really?

That's what I see, at least with the FSX Acceleration weather.dll. Maybe Prepar3D is different?

I've tried link.exe /dump /exports as well and that just gives me a list of things with NONAME.
