Settings Manager Extension Example

The Settings Manager Extension example demonstrates the following:

• How to install a new settings manager to maintain a new file
  • How to add settings to the existing file (vrfSim.xml)

Since this example is loaded as a plugin, it can be used in conjunction with the released VR-Forces application

How to Run

This example demonstrates how to install your own settings manager.

Usage

Select Settings, Plugins... and on the Plugins Editor page, use the combo box at the top of the page to select the plug-in. Then enable the Load Plugin checkbox and re-start VR-Forces.

After starting the back-end, the settingsManagerRemote example can be started to demonstrate remotely changing and querying the settings.
