OHM Axial Velocity HUD v1.0 RC1

[Wraith]

A VMT Hijacker would need to be careful with hooking clbkConsumeDirectKey and clbkConsumeBufferedKey as these could potentially break vessel functionality. Is there any reason why the char *keystate argument couldn't be changed to const?

    virtual void on_clbkConsumeBufferedKey ( VESSEL2* vess, DWORD key, bool down, [B][COLOR=Red]const [/COLOR][/B]char *keystate ) {}
    virtual void on_ret_clbkConsumeBufferedKey ( VESSEL2* vess, int, DWORD key, bool down, [B][COLOR=Red]const [/COLOR][/B]char *keystate ) {}

Ok, I'll add const to the keystate pointer, just to indicate that the hijacker shouldn't alter that, but honestly, if a person resorts to VMT hacks, I don't think it would stop him messing the contents of the array.

And perhaps also generally we could change the VESSEL2* to const also?

Well, I don't think so. This would restrict developer to calling only VESSEL::xxx() const methods (mostly 'getxxx'), which IMO servers no purpose -- one can easily and legally obtain a non-const VESSEL* via oapiGetVesselInterface().

Fair call.

i have a little problem with this addon. its great, however, i have xr1 xr2 and xr5 and dgiv and lots of mfds. when i activate the module, and click on the dgiv it works. then when i try it with xr2, it doesnt appear, and even worse, orbiter.exe stops working, and i have to restart orbiter launchpad to use xr2 where it doesnt work! sorry if i sound rude.

Hi Astro

Yeah I was disappointed it wouldn't work with the superb XR2 either

I PM'd the author as suggested by Xyon, no luck :shrug:

Try the Surface MFD instead, you might need a couple of DLLs for it to work, just drop em in your ORBITER folder...

Coupled with the XR2 AOA and SLIP gauges you'll get some precise touchdowns, albeit not as intuitively as with the HUD! :blackeye:

Just for the record: the problem with incompatibility between Launch MFD and other VT hijackers is solved, using Agentgonzo's suggestion.
