Paul Henty Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 The offset you need is 0x3308. It's only 2 bytes, not 4 so you need to declare it as UShort, not integer: Dim SimVers As Offset(Of UShort) = New FSUIPC.Offset(Of UShort)(&H3308) ' Shows what sim its connected to It's not in the documentation, but 64bit versions of P3D (V4 and future) will return 12.

sniperfull Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 whats the difference between (Of Short) and (of UShort) ? and would 11 be P3D V3 or is 10 for P3D v1/2/3? And It has fixed the issue thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the "U" means unsigned, but in this case it doesn't matter. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Henty Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 UShort is an unsigned value so the values range from 0 to 65,535. Short is signed so the values are from -32,768 to 32,767 In this instance either UShort or Short will work because the values are only 0 to 12. Value 10 is for P3D v1/2/3. Value 11 has been reserved for Flight Sim World by Dovetail I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 BTW you can get more specific version information from offset 3124. giving you 1-4 for FSX versions, 101-109 for FSX-SE versions, and full n.n data for P3D versions. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniperfull Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I've just used Offset 3124 and P3D V3.4 returns 0 ? any way around that? because i need the specific version of p3d .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it has been re-used since FSX for the specific version of the main FS version given in 3308, as documented in the FSUIPC4 Offsets Status document installed in your FSUIPC documents folder. You are certainly making an error somewhere. I've just loaded P3D3.4 and checked offset 3124 and it reads "34" which is correct. I used the FSUIPC Logging tab monitor facility. Check it yourself. BTW why wait from July 15th till now to ask again? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
