LFS Forum - What exactly do we need ISS state flags for?

ISS state flags are a part of the IS_STA packet used in InSim. This packet is sent every time some information in the packet is changed (e.g. new track, changed camera, changed replay speed etc.). In patch N there are two new flags available - ISS_DIALOG and ISS_TEXT_ENTRY.

All flags according to docs/InSim.txt:


// ISS state flags

#define ISS_GAME            1        // in game (or MPR)
#define ISS_REPLAY            2        // in SPR
#define ISS_PAUSED            4        // paused
#define ISS_SHIFTU            8        // SHIFT+U mode
