Problem Having trouble compiling ShuttleA

[johnnymanly]

I'm trying to compile the ShuttleA for Orbiter 2024 on windows 10 using VS2022 and I'm getting an error.
It's probably something simple but I don't know what to do with it. Any Idea?

You're missing a panelid parameter, the original code is :

for (int i = 25; i < npel; i++)
        pel[i]->Reset2D(1);

Well thanks again for your help. ShuttleA builds fine but won't run on 2024. It crashes from the loading screen, though it runs on 2016.
I don't know how to debug but I built a debug version anyway. I tried to run the debugger from VS 2022 but this is as far as I got.
Any idea how I should procede?

What is the timestamp of your .lib files ? (orbitersdk\lib directory) ?

 

[johnnymanly]

11 Feb, 2025 except lua5.1.lib which is 3 Dec, 2012.

 

[N_Molson]

Should be good then.

I'm trying to compile this one too. This sample is quite important to understand Virtual Cockpits, as DeltaGlider is alas rather hermetic.

So I had the same issue you encountered (the error is in the sample!), and the fix proposed by @Gondos works.

I also had an issue with #include afxres.h (can be solved by replacing it by #include windows.h). All good.

Now I have this one :

1>ShuttleA.rc(41): error RC2104: undefined keyword or key name: IDC_STATIC

 

[johnnymanly]

That error is because your using #include windows.h.
Instead of that, I used the "Visual Studio Installer" to install "MFC and ATL support" to vs 2022 which allows you to use afxres.h.

OK. Same result, more or less. I could compile the dll, and I could load one of the Shuttle-A scenarios in 2024, but then the module isn't really loaded.

A simple sample (not one that relies on 12 source files and dependencies) with very basic VC implementation would be useful.

Oh, and we don't even have a solution for the DeltaGlider in O2024....

 

[johnnymanly]

I was hoping you would have better luck than me. Is there anything in the log?

 

[N_Molson]

Nope. It is simply old stuff that hasn't been updated for ages, it is quite normal there are compatibility issues.
