Thank you @John Dowson for your reply! I switched to the flap handle recognition and wrote a custom logic to detect the detents, thank you! Now i have new problems with the sim version and fsuipc/xpuipc version decoding, but i will get to it 🙂 I know we are in a different topic, but there is no version number reserved for xplane in 0x3308, because only XPUIPC is compatibly with XP, correct?

Hello Luke, Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, i am currently only trying it for XP. But the current problem is that the 0xBE0 does detect 75% for the Toliss A339 for flaps full and also 75% for Flaps 3. So it seems to be the incorrect offset to detect the trailing edge flaps. Pegasus does not have custom mappings for each addon at it is also a flexible way. I do not need to now the exact detent like F15 in a 757 or F3 in an A3XX. I just need to know that the flaps is in a detent, to mark it in the log as "Flaps set to Detent X".

Hey guys, i am in the works of programming an ACARS for a virtual airline to track/log flights and events during the flights. As know from software like "Pegasus" i want to log flaps event like "Flaps set to position 4". For this i thought about the following logic: Getting the number of flap increments of the aicraft using: dataset.add('flapsAvail', 0x3BFA, fsuipc.Type.Int16) (Which returns for the Toliss A339 and the FlightFactor 757 a value of 2047 -> So 9 Flaps Positions) And use the flap raw position in percent: dataset.add('flapsPosition', 0xBE0, fsuipc.Type.Int32) But the problem is, that for the toliss A339 it returns 75% for Flaps 3 AND Flaps Full, as i suspect it only detects the leading (SLATS) and not the trailing edge flaps. I am at the moment at the end of my ideas on how Pegasus could have came up with a solution but does anybody has a different approach to the problem? The Script shall be able do handle P3D, XP11/12 and MSFS dynamically. Thanks for your input in advance!

Hello guys, first of all, i am totally new to the fsuipc developing side, so please bear with me, when it comes to the way i can interact with fsuipc. I am currently experimenting within an electron-framework app, which ultimatly (in faaaaar time) shall become a tracker. In my research on interacting with fsuipc via javascript, i found the fsuipc-module on node-js. This module gives me the ability to poll data from fsuipc in certain intervalls. In functions great, i already built a simple polling stream which gets data like longtitude and latitude for P3D and MSFS at a certain intervall. But i soon realised, that for certain tracker-behaviors i need a event-driven-script. For example the touchdown. Things like engine start or takeoff, i could simply detect via my current polling rate. But for the landing, i need a event listener which listens to the altitude (like pegasus for the last 50ft) or the touchdown itself, as i do not want to poll in milliseconds for the last 100ft or the approach. I already looked at the sdk, but as i am still a little new to the whole programming world, i did not find a good approach to my problem. I know, that the event-driven-script may be complicated to explain, but i hope that somebody has the time to do so or to provide me with sources where i could learn more about it. 🙂 My current simple polling script looks like this: const fsuipc = require('fsuipc'); let fetchingInterval; const startFsuipcHandler = async (event, args) => { try { if (fetchingInterval) { //Stop fetching if its already started clearInterval(fetchingInterval); fetchingInterval = null; console.log('fetching stopped'); return; } //Start fetching every 5 seconds fetchingInterval = setInterval(async () => { const obj = new fsuipc.FSUIPC(); await obj.open(); obj.add('gpsGS', 0x6030, fsuipc.Type.Double); //speed in meter per second from GPS obj.add('gpsLAT', 0x6010, fsuipc.Type.Double); //LAT in DD Coord from GPS obj.add('gpsLON', 0x6018, fsuipc.Type.Double); //LON in dd Coord from GPS obj.add('gpsALT', 0x6020, fsuipc.Type.Double); //gpsALT in meter from GPS //obj.add('groundALT', 0x0020, fsuipc.Type.Int32); //ground ALT in meter (muss convertiert werden /256) obj.add('planeBank', 0x057C, fsuipc.Type.Int32); //bank (muss convertiert werden bank*360/65536^2, - = right bank) obj.add('planePitch', 0x578, fsuipc.Type.Int32); //pitch (muss convertiert werden pitch*360/65536^2, - = pitch up) obj.add('vs', 0x2C8, fsuipc.Type.Int32); //vertical speed (muss konvertiert werden vs *60*3,28084/256) obj.add('gForce', 0x1140, fsuipc.Type.Double); obj.add('aircraftType', 0x3D00, fsuipc.Type.String, 256); //obj.add('lights', 0x0D0C, fsuipc.Type.BitArray, 2); //obj.add('clockHour', 0x238, fsuipc.Type.Byte); obj.add('eng1fuelUsedSinceStart', 0x90C, fsuipc.Type.Single); //in lb obj.add('eng1N1', 0x898, fsuipc.Type.Int16);//konveriterung: value/16384 * 100 const result = await obj.process(); result.planeBank = ((result.planeBank * 360) / Math.pow(65536, 2)).toFixed(2); result.planePitch = ((result.planePitch * 360) / Math.pow(65536, 2)).toFixed(2); result.vs = Math.floor(result.vs * 60 * 3.28084 / 256); result.gForce = (result.gForce).toFixed(2); result.gpsALT = Math.round(result.gpsALT * 3.28084); result.gpsGS = (result.gpsGS * 1.94384).toFixed(1); result.gpsLAT = (result.gpsLAT).toFixed(9); result.gpsLON = (result.gpsLON).toFixed(9); result.eng1N1 = (result.eng1N1)/16384 *100; console.log(result); // Send the result to the renderer process event.sender.send('fsuipc-data', result); await obj.close(); }, 5000); console.log('Fetching started') } catch (err) { console.error(err); } }; module.exports = { startFsuipcHandler }; Thank you very much in advance and merry christmas 🙂
