Description: # fsuipc
        
        This project provides a simple Python client class wrapper around the
        [FSUIPC](http://www.fsuipc.com/) tool, which allows third-party programs to
        interact with the "inner workings" of popular flight simulator software.
        
        Fsuipc is built on top of (and includes) `pyuipc`, by István Váradi
        (ivaradi@varadiistvan.hu).
        
        ## Installation
        
        The easiest way to install this package is using `pip`:
        
        ```
        pip install fsuipc
        ```
        
        Note that fsuipc only supports Python on Windows platforms.
        
        ## Basic Usage
        
        ```python
        from fsuipc import FSUIPC
        
        
        with FSUIPC() as fsuipc:
            prepared = fsuipc.prepare_data([
                (0x560, "l"),
                (0x568, "l"),
                (0x570, "l")
            ], True)
        
            while True:
                latitude, longitude, altitude = prepared.read()
        
                print(f"Latitude: {latitude}")
                print(f"Longitude: {longitude}")
                print(f"Altitude: {altitude}")
        
                input("Press ENTER to read again")
        ```
        
        ## Troubleshooting
        
        ### IPC request contains bad data
        
        This error can be caused by a word length mismatch between the client and
        server processes. If your flight simulator software is 32-bit, you probably
        need to be running a 32-bit version of Python. Similarly, if your flight
        simulator is 64-bit, you need to run a 64-bit version of Python.
        
        You can check if your Python is 32-bit or 64-bit by running the command:
        
        ```
        python -VV
        ```
        
        ### IPC sendmessage failed all retries
        
        This error can occur if you need to run your Python script as an administrator
        in order to communicate with the server process.
