GAUMOD98 (GAUge MODifier for FS98) is a little utility that allows limited modification of GAU files in FS98: that will change the color and the offsets of digital readouts on gauges. It requires the Visual Basic 5.0 driver file (MSVBVM50.DLL). If you don't have this already in your Windows/System folder, download the MSVBVM50.ZIP package from the link below.

fsuipc.zip. FS98/FS2000/FS2002/CFS/CFS2 FSUIPC.dll application interfacing module v2.95. FSUIPC is effectively a successor to FS6IPC.dll. Both modules are designed to allow external (i.e. separate) programs to communicate with and perhaps control Microsoft Flight Simulator. Also included is WeatherSet.exe, an advanced weather application for FS2000. By Pete Dowson. 331K

widefs.zip. WIDESERVER and WIDECLIENT - Version 5.30, October 2001 Network interface for FS98, FS2000, FS2002 and CFS2 applications using the FS6IPC interface. Use version 2,73 or later of FSUIPC with this version of WideFS. This is VERY important if you are running FS2000 or FS2002 since WideFS not only no longer provides many of the variables directly, but only provides offset writing capabilities using facilities added to FSUIPC. Also be sure to match versions of WideClient and WideServer. This is often essential for correct connections, as the protocol being used is developed and may be subject to subtle changes in each new version. by Pete Dowson. 135K

widefs98.zip. WIDESERVER and WIDECLIENT - July 2000 Network interface for FS98 and FS2000 applications using the FS6IPC interface. Use version 1.94 or later of FSUIPC with this version of WideFS. This is VERY important if you are running FS2000 since WideFS no longer provides many of the variables directly, only via FSUIPC. Also be sure to match versions of WideClient and WideServer. This is often essential for correct connections, as the protocol being used is developed and may be subject to subtle changes in each new version. by Pete Dowson. 313K

Making use of some primitive forms, like cubes and pyramids, you can build simple objects like a new building or complex ones like terminals and gates using the standard VOD textures. The program also generates and uses API macros for use with the Airport program and also generates compatible macros to use with the ASD program from Abacus v1.1 and v2.0. This version comes with a set of 26 macros in API format. This program requires the VOD standard texture file VODTEX30.ZIP. Part 1 of 2. By Rafael Garcia Sanchez.. File size 930995.
