Need help with XML (in MS Flight Simulator)

[Garry2008]

Hi All:

Does anyone here have any experience working with XML in MS-Flight Simulator 2004? I'm trying to design a CD-player for Flight Sim that will function the same (from inside a F/S cockpit) as double-clicking on an MP3 music file outside of Flight Sim...i.e, the resident player runs it. There's one gauge that I'm aware of (Radiocd4) which does this, but it's written in C++ and compiled in .GAU format...can't be decompiled.

I design a lot of gauges (instruments) in XML for F/S, so I'm fairly handy with it in that arena, but I'm missing the crtical code for doing something outside the Flight Sim shell.

If anyone can help with this, or offer suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. If more info or a better explanation is need, let me know and it'll happen.

Thanks in advance,
Garry

If there's a member here by the name of Shaker, I'd like you to PM me as soon as possible. I just got an email notification from DevX that you posted a reply to my request for some XML help, and I'm not what you'd call a happy camper. I don't see your reply posted in here so perhaps it's a mistake. But if it isn't a mistake, then you and I have some things to clear up...PRONTO.
