How does it work?

The software interface for V+ uses the Microsoft panel gauge interface to gain access to data in the game.  This data is called token variables in the Microsoft panel SDK.  There is a DLL file (FSVPLusInt.gau) that is copied to the c:\program files\Microsoft games\FS2002\gauges directory that contains the V+ interface software. 

Therefore this interface appears to Microsoft Flight Simulator as a gauge although the only gauge on the panel is the V+ logo.  This is necessary in order to interface with the panel system.

The processor load on a Pentium 4 2.0 GHz machine can require up to .2ms of processor time if all variables are used. (worse case)  This data can be viewed in real-time by monitoring the port “V+ INTERFACE PROCESSOR LOAD”.  

Included in the device, is a sample application that adds aerodynamic sounds to the Lear 45 aircraft for fuselage air impact pressure, flaps and gear aerodynamic sound models. 

This software is available free of charge for evaluation purposes.
