Thank you for that prompt reply, I will immerse myself in the books again and have another try! Regards Barry

I want to program a switch through my interface card to FSUIPC to turn the traffic signs on and off ( the option is in the FSUIPC drop down menu). I cannot see the offset in the programmer's guide list, the nearest I can see is 2900 but I can't see how I would use it. Can someone give me a clue please? Barry www.a320sim.com

Thanks, happy now. Barry

Further to your last I note that you say the offsets work across all platforms, that is fine for me. It was just the "(FS2k/CFS2)" that put me off. Barry

Sorry Peter I think you have misunderstood my question. Reading the notes in FSUIPC for Programmers it says "0D0C (FS2k/CFS2)" Should I read this to mean that 0D0C works in FS2K and will not work in FS9 and must I therefore use the more limited options in 0280? Barry

I am trying to allocate the light switches of my sim to FS2004, I can't pretend to understand much of FSUIPC and offsets but I am having some success. However reading the lists of offsets I see that the lights are separated out for FS 2000 under 0D0C by separate bits but for FS 2004 they are blocked together under 0280, 0281 and 028C and for instance it appears that I cannot separately switch the beacons and the strobes. I am already getting side effects e.g. When I switch on landing lights I also get the logo light. Am I understanding things correctly? Did the flexibility of FS take a backward step between FS 2000 and FS 2004? I am trying to program SIOC. Regards Barry www.a320sim.com

Thanks for straigtening my brain Pete, looks like my best solution is FS Commander instead of FS Navigator, I can run that with WideFS on my laptop.

FSNavigator is the most compact source of charts etc that I know of for world wide navigation (without killing a lot of trees) but the FSX compatible version will not be out until next year. In the meantime I am running FS9 on a laptop just for FSNav. Is there interoperability between FS9 and FSX with WideFS to enable position to be picked up?

Don't know whether it is relevant but I have the same problem. I have found however that not only will WideFS not now connect but I also lose all file sharing access between my computers. I tried removing WideFS completely and I now find that when I light up the computers the file sharing works fine but if I start FS9 I lose it (note that this is with Wide FS modules now removed). I am sure this has something to do with the non-functioning of WideFS but can't see why. If I remove the WideFS module is anything left in my PC which can interfere with my network? Very odd! Barry
