Question BaseSync MFD load warning in orbiter.log

[bcbarnes]

When I run orbiter_ng.exe I see this in the log file:

000000.000: Module BaseSyncMFD.dll ....... [Build 160910, API 160828]
000000.000: ---------------------------------------------------------------
000000.000: >>> WARNING: Obsolete API function used: oapiRegisterMFDMode


When I 'untick' BaseSync in the 'modules' tab, the error goes away.

The MFD appears to be working fine. Is this anything I should be concerned about?

No, nothing to worry about. Like you noticed the MFD works fine. There are lots of other things that will give the "Obsolete API" warning, so far nothing has been a show-stopper.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: Perhaps this function goes away in later Orbiter versions, which would render the current MFD addon disfunctional because it uses the old-style MFD registration. However, chances are high that it would be disfunctional for other reasons, anyway. Plus the chances are high that it will be updated in time, being an open source addon.
