Thanks for that reply Pete, I will have a look at the liar script! However in that case, for my (second) program "simplugins panels" that is reading the user offset for the RPM gauge, in theory I should be seeing the correct values by calling offset 0x66C0. Is there any way I can see what value 0x66C0 holds at any one time? If it holds the correct value (ie it is the same as what I see in the virtual cockpit display in the A2A aircraft) then I promise to leave you in peace and talk to the panel providers!

Hi guys, Ok so I downloaded Paul's tidied up copy of the LUA script, and invoked it under auto in the FSUIPC4.INI file. However unfortunately the results have not changed. It would seem my gauges are still displaying the default values on the C172. (default aircraft work fine). RPM is particularly the worse being 400-1000rpm off. Just a query on one of Paul's statements above, does my gauge software need to be looking for a particular offset? I have two different products I am using, one is looking for the default rpm value (which I thought this script is overwriting) and the other I can set it to look for a particular offset so I set that to: RPME0 = double,66C0 Both programs show the same values on their gauges. Ideally I would like the first situation to work, where the default RPM value is overwritten with the correct values from the L:vars so any 3rd party application should work out of the box, is that what my lua script should be doing? ** just to add, so I printed the local vars with full throttle and this is what I saw in the log for RPM: L:Eng1_RPM = 2139.263506 the 3rd party gauge however only showed 1500 thanks

Hi Paul, thanks a ton, I will try this out this evening when I get home and report back with my results, And yes that was my concern also, I dumped a lua file into my modules folder and that was basically it, I thought I would need to do something to invoke it like assign a button to run it and press it everytime the sim started.

Hi all, So I have been trying to use some 3rd party gauge software in combination with P3Dv3 and FSUIPC, the issue I have is addon aircraft (A2a) using their own offsets. I am using a LUA script that should provide the correct values, however the lua makes no difference at all, the gauges still display the incorrect values. The script I am using is attached. since I like to keep things simple, I changed the script to this: Eng_RPM = 2100 Expected that my gauge should show 2100 as soon as the plane loaded (as proof the script was doing something), however they did not, infact they showed the exact same information they always do. help please :) A2Agauges.lua
