FS2004 Programming...

Hi all:

Does anyone know what programming language inside FS processes and reads XML gauges?

That's good question. Of course it's all compiled executable code as far as we're concerened, but what language (languages) were used WRITING it ?

C++

Thanks for the reply, Brett:
Yeah, and that's the question.  I'm starting a new bush-flying virtual airline, and thus I want to package various flights (for the pilots) with "armed failures".  And of course, FS doesn't save armed-failures when it saves a flight...the documentation SAYS it does, and it should...but it doesn't.  The one feature I need, and it's the one that doesn't work.  So I gotta work around another MS screwup, and the easiest way is with an "invisible" XML gauge to act as a launch-pad for timed failures.  The gal who offered to help me with the code needs to know specifically what software engine reads and processes the XML stuff inside FS.

Thanks again...
Garry

Hey, Ivan:  Your reply was buried in there, and I almost missed it!

So it is C++, huh?  I guessed it would be...thanks for the info!
