Hi John, Wow! This is great! Thank you so much for this finding and to report it. Really appreciated. I will test it as far as I have a chance. Still getting acquainted with all the different things (Lvars, offsets, events, etc.) so exploration is slow on my end. You saved me a bunch of hours, LOL 😆

Hi Jonh, Yes, the pulse landing light is an option we can enable/disable for the plane in the FMS options screen. When enabled, the corresponding switch will offer 3 positions (off, pulse, or steady). So they will not always pulse, it will only pulse if you move the switch to the 'pulse' position. It will still be a pilot choice. Hope it is clear now. I will update this thread once I hear from them. Thank you.

Hi John, Thanks for pointing me to a better direction. I will make sure to read the document as per your suggestion. When it comes to reading offset 0x65A0, I'm not on my sim PC right now but I will try as soon as possible. However, if I remember correctly, I'm already reading this offset to determine the status of the position switch and, as such, it does not have anything to do with landing lights. But will confirm and, if needed, reach out to PMDG (with no mention to offset/FSUIPC). Thanks again.

All, Two questions, if you don't mind.... :-) 1 - I'm trying to add some automation to PMDG 737-700 and I was able to make it work. I just don't know if there is a better/clever way to do it. Take for example the Transponder Mode Selector (EVT_TCAS_MODE, custom control 70432, offset 6C64), I am doing the following to move it to TA/RA position: 8=73,10,70432,16384 -{lctl+I: Press=Custom control: <70432> }- 9=73,10,70432,16384 -{lctl+I: Press=Custom control: <70432> }- 10=73,10,70432,16384 -{lctl+I: Press=Custom control: <70432> }- 11=73,10,70432,16384 -{lctl+I: Press=Custom control: <70432> }- In other words, I'm sending 4x "Mouse Wheel Up" (0x00004000 or 16384). That is because this particular switch has 5 positions (STBY, ALT RPTG OFF, XPNDR, TA ONLY, and, finally, TA/RA which is the one I want). I know I have the option to use offset conditions to make it more efficient/"elegant" and I plan to use it. But the question is still relevant because there will be situations where multiple "moves" will be needed. 2 - This plane has an option to use pulse landing lights. When this option is turned on, the landing lights switch has 3 positions (up = off, middle = pulse, down = on). Offset 6596 shows: 0x0 when both are off 0x1 when left is on and right is off 0x100 when left is off and right is on 0x101 when both are on So far so good. However, when using the pulse lights, the offset value keeps changing every second or so. I'm trying to find a way to determine what kind of light is being used, the pulse or the steady one. I know PMDG, as the developer, should be the one to clarify this and I will make sure to check with them. But maybe (just maybe :-)) someone here came across this situation and has something to share. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Fabio et all @Fabio, first off all, congratulations for tool. I'm having a hard time trying to understand the exact sequence of actions I need to make in order to use the Instant Replay functionality effectively (that is, without generating a CTD in MSFS or Flight Control Replay itself). My use case is very simple: I want to see the replay of my takeoff and landing from the done camera using the PMDG 737-700. Acticvating Instant Replay functionality is pretty straight-forward: I just click the little arrow at the top and that is it. I can see the Instant Replay is active because the little yellow ball moves all the way to the right. So far so good. Now, what is the exact sequence of actions to watch my takeoff? Without clicking anything first, I tried dragging the yellow ball back. It works sometimes, sometimes not (MSFS or FCR crashes). Am I doing something wrong? Should I press something before I can drag the yellow ball? And what is the right way to resume flight after I'm done watching the replay of my takeoff? I read in the documentation that a double-click in the Stop button is the right thing to do, but it is not working for me. In my case, it seems I have to press the orange Take Control button at the top after the double clicking the Stop button. The actions described above are what I find works most of the time for me. But the results are not consistent. Sometimes these actions work fine, sometimes not and I have all sorts of unexpected results. I'm using the latest version (v4.5.2201.12), the correct EXE (the one in FlightControlReplayMSFS folder) and I have all the prerequisites installed. Any help is appreciated.
