Readme.txt for "Aerosoft Airbus X Extended SDK Small" project

version:	1.1.0.0

date:		2013_03_21
 
company:	aerosoft

Description:


Minimized demonstration SDK gauge project (Visual Studio 2008 C++) for 
exemplary accessing some different variables of Airbus X Extended. It 
generates a DLL-file called "AirbusXExtSDKSmall.dll" which acts as a 
gauge. To keep it as simple as possible, no windows form, no threads 
etc. were used. Even SimConnect is completely substituted by using 
"execute_calculator_code".

This gauge needs to be implemented into the panel.cfg of the according 
aircraft where you want to use this gauge with. As an example: If you
want to use it in our Airbus X A320 Extended CFM NEO model, you could 
activate it by appending a new gauge entry to the [VCockpit01] section 
of the panel.cfg, like e.g. 
"gauge62=AirbusXExtSDKSmall!ABXExtSDKSmall_Gauge, 0,0,0,0"

Don't forget to copy the "AirbusXExtSDKSmall.dll" from your debug or release
folder into the according place you referenced in the panel.cfg (in above 
example it would be the "...\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus X A320 
Extended CFM NEO\Panel\" folder under FSX.

In the function "UpdateVars()" (located in "AirbusXExtSDKSmall_Gauge.cpp")
some variables are accessed for demonstration, e.g. reading the actual
position of the parking brake switch and writing some values to the auto
brake switches. This would be the right place to put in your own code for 
accessing variables (reading/writing/calculating)...

A more detailed demonstration SDK gauge project (generating a "AirbusXExtSDK.dll")
is also available. It is using a windows form with buttons, labels etc., and 
variables are accessed via SimConnect there...
