offset 04D2

[Mário Grossi]

Hello to all.

I would like to know how to control rain in fsx with FSUIPC. I have developed a acars to my fsx and want to control the weather but also using offset 04D2 have no result.

 

my code

procedure TForm1.precipitacao;

var

  dds:dword;

  prec:dword;

begin

  prec := 2;

  if FSUIPC_Write($04D2,2,@press,dds) then

  if  FSUIPC_Process(dds) then

    beep;

end;

 

thank you

Sorry, that sort of direct control doesn't work with FSX. It was only experimental in FS9. You'd need to use the New Weather Interface to set weather stations, or global weather, and this entails setting all of the weather, not just the rain.

ah, I'm sorry for my ignorance but how I do it? has an example of which offset should I use?

it is possible that with SimConnect?

The SDK contains the details of the offsets and values to be used for the New Weather Interface. If you don't want to deal with binary data you can use SimConnect style METAR strings.

 

You can of course use SimConnect directly. That's all FSUIPC is doing.

 

Any weather control program for FSX is going to be quite a big job. It isn't something to do lightly. There are commercial programs doing it very well, of course. I use ASN.

 

There is a free weather read/write program provided in the SDK -- WeatherSet2. That uses the New Weather Interface.

Pete, thank you.

I was thinking of working with FSUIPC and SimConnect together but, I will be only the first option.

If I can build this software, I will send you a copy. ;)
