Hello guys,
I am sorry if the question is very basic, but i was readen am i am a little bit confussed.

I have made a 3dof motion platform, with 3 ac motors:



I have implemented the control of the motion plarform in the platform. I have a microcontroller with ethernet interface that only receives the X,Y,Z positions and accelerations. The idea is that anyone could move my platform using my api. I have made a WIN32 DLL (c++) in order any develop can connect with my platform and then send the possitions to the motion platform.

The next steep i want to do is to connect any commercial game to my platform. It can be made with X-SIM exporter I think, because i only need to read some of the values of the program (x,y,z axis forces and positions) for the supported games. My questions are the next:

a) How X-SIM have this information?. I am curious about how the plug-in works for to obtain this information of different games.
b) X-SIM could get information of any game?
c) In order to get this information for X-SIM, what would be the best way?. Via MMF?. I have never worked with it. How it works?. X-SIM generates this MMF file in order other 3rd applications can read it?

Thank you so much for reading.
Any reply will help a lot.

Hi,

1. http://www.x-sim.de/documents/Programme ... deline.pdf
2. There is a directX, OpenGL and Force Feedback driver. However this part get more attention with the generation 2 of this set which is in development
Possible now for Warcraft3, Quake and so on ...
3. MMF, network sockets, serial ports, whatever ...
