Thank you! looking forward to your comments after you have a look into the subject. Cheers!

Yes, i'm particularly interested for my app development in getting back things like runway heading and length for example, by entering an ICAO and runway number. ILS frequencies would be interesting to be able to access too if possible, trans level and altitude. These kind of things. Cheers!

Hi, Some time ago MSFS published a way to access information about airports, runways, etc using the ICAO code for the airport. This can be found in the SimConnect API Reference called "Facility". https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/SimConnect/API_Reference/Facilities/SimConnect_AddToFacilityDefinition.htm I want to know if there's a way to access this information via FSUIPC, or maybe there will be support in the future? Thanks!

Oh i just noticed in the 737 offset document that these are all READ ONLY. That's probably the issue i guess, my bad if so, for what variables is this SetValue() method useful, events and K variables??

Sorry How about setting a value to one of these variables? Is something like this okay? string variableType = "NULL"; int variableLength = 0; int address = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(PMDGConditionVariables.PMDGVarAddress), varName); int variableTypeC = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(PMDGConditionVariables.PMDGVarTypes), varName); SWITCH GOES IN HERE TO GET variableType and variableLength for each varName. Too long and out of the point for copying it here Offset myOffset = new Offset("", address, variableLength, true); FSUIPCConnection.Process(); (SWITCH GOES IN HERE FOR EACH TYPE CASE) in the case of byte type it continues: String[] strArr = varData.Split('-'); byte[] newValue = new byte[strArr.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < strArr.Length; i++) newValue[i] = Convert.ToByte(strArr[i], 16); myOffset.SetValue(newValue); break; "varData" would be the input data to set the value to, in string type, so this would convert that string into byte array and saves it in "newValue". I've tested this code in other compilations and it works correctly to convert "01-00-01-00" kind of strings. For the case of the rest of types i'm thinking on myOffset.SetValue(varData); break; Just this because i see the SetValue() code converts strings in other numbered types. Then after the break comes this: myOffset.Disconnect(); This code is not working as of now. After trying it the variable doesn't change and the application stops processing new variable requests, so i wanted to know if maybe it's not the right way to set these values. Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestions! Now it works, cheers!

Hi i'm working on a C# plugin for Voice Attack which communicates internally with MSFS variables. I integrated FSUIPCs dll into my project, and i managed to code the way to set controls in the aircraft through FSUIPCConnection.SendControlToFS and the PMDG_737_NGX_Control enum. That one was pretty simple. My issue now is to find the way to retrieve the value of a condition variable (the ones listed in the PMDG 737 SDK header file) by inputting the name of the variable. I understand i should use offsets for this, so i am currently trying the following code. "varName" would be the name of the variable as for example "APU_EGTNeedle". "PMDGConditionVariables" is another class that contains a "PMDGVarAddress" Enum with a list of variables and their hex addresses, and a "PMDGVarTypes" enum that contains the same list of variables linked with a number "variableTypeC". This number is then linked with a type of variable so that the GetValue() method can be used differently with each type of variable as it needs to. This should deliver the variable value as a float number and the whole TriggerReqPMDG() method returns the value of the variable so i can use it later with certain purposes. I'm far from being a professional programmer so i'm sure there are maybe more efficient ways to do this, but what worries me at this point is why the code isn't returning the actual variable value, but only zeros. Any variable i ask for delivers a zero after GetValue(). Any ideas? I already edited the 737 options ini file by the way. Cheers! public float TriggerReqPMDG(string varName) { try { float valueFloat = 0; string variableType = "Bool"; int variableLength = 0; FSUIPCConnection.Open(); int address = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(PMDGConditionVariables.PMDGVarAddress), varName); int variableTypeC = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(PMDGConditionVariables.PMDGVarTypes), varName); switch (variableTypeC) { case 1: variableLength = 4; variableType = "Float"; break; case 2: variableLength = 2; variableType = "Char"; break; } Offset myOffset = new Offset(address, variableLength); switch (variableType) { case "Float": valueFloat = myOffset.GetValue<float>(); break; case "Uchar": char valueChar = myOffset.GetValue<char>(); valueFloat = Convert.ToInt64(valueChar); break; case "Bool": bool valueBool = myOffset.GetValue<bool>(); valueFloat = Convert.ToInt64(valueBool); break; } FSUIPCConnection.Close(); return valueFloat; Cheers!

Moving my question there. Thanks.

Offset then. Should i use the "Process()" method then? I guess "ClassInstance" would be the offset number, and how to get the variable value? i see this method returns void...

Hi i'm working on a C# plugin for Voice Attack which communicates internally with MSFS variables, but i'm a bit of a noob in this so i've been struggling a little bit. So i integrated FSUIPCs dll into my project, and i managed to code the way to set controls in the aircraft through FSUIPCConnection.SendControlToFS and the PMDG_737_NGX_Control enum. That one was pretty simple. My issue now is to find the way to retrieve the value of a condition variable (the ones listed in the PMDG 737 SDK header file) by inputting the name of the variable. For example "APU_EGTNeedle" and to get the float value out of it. What would be the easiest way to do this, is there another method like "SendControlToFS" but to read data? Cheers!
