Library Linking

[patrickballhaus]

Hello,

I am currently writing a code to connect an add-on to the Simulator using the SDK. I previously used MSFS to connect to this code and it was working. For work reasons we decided to switch to Prepar3D but when trying to adapt the code I started running into problems when linking the SimConnect.lib. I have tried to match the linking as shown in the samples, but it is not working.
I was hoping someone might be able to help me solve this. This is the current setup in VS:

- VC++ directories -> Include directories: C:\Users\Patrick Ballhaus\Documents\Prepar3D_test\inc\SimConnect\;$(IncludePath)
-> Library directories: C:\Users\Patrick Ballhaus\Documents\Prepar3D_test\lib\;$(LibraryPath)
- Linker -> Input -> additional dependencies: SimConnect.lib

I have ensured that the corresponding files are located in the path given.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Could you post the errors you are seeing?

We ship both a Debug and Release version of the SimConnect.lib. Perhaps double-check the correct one is being linked to your VS Debug/Release configurations.

Hello Clifton,

This is the error code:

Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'SimConnect.lib' Prepar3D_test C:\Users\Patrick Ballhaus\Documents\Prepar3D_test\Prepar3D_test\LINK

Inside the folder in this project I have both the debug and normal library.

Regards,
