Dear Pete,
I spent a _lot_ of time READING threads in severals forums with my search for 'enlightenment' concerning to interact with PM's pmsystems.
I've purchased their GC, MCP, CDU and pmsystems package for Boeing as well as (of course!) a key for your wonderful FSUIPC and WideFS. Thanks for the latter, Pete, it's _SO_ worthwhile an investment that I was really thinking about voluntarely 'renewing' my license these days. What you think? Christmas is near, you know...
OK, my question...
I was happy to learn from experimenting with available switches on my SAITEK Yoke & additional lever unit that it's true what you write in your documentation for FSUIPC advanced users: basicly _everything_ is programmable by using the appropriate offset.
I mean _WITHOUT_ buying expensive additional hardware, just by means of a spare switch on any joystick...
Now my problem: seems that I've missed school when they told us how to set and clear certain bits at certain addresses ('offsets') of FS via the FSUIPC Interface. I managed to switch on the 737 BATT (0x5628) and the APU (0x050F) by sending a '0', '1' or '2' as parameter because a BYTE is expected as parameter, but I failed to switch on a certain fuel pump as this needs to set certain BITS at 0x56B1. Can you help me with this problem _AND_ give me a hint where to find a nice tutorial about this kind of simple bit-manipulating stuff (lessons on masking bits and conditional operations are welcome, too !) because I _hate_ to ask questions and _love_ to be able to help myself... :-)
Thanks, Pete, in advance for your efforts!

Thanks in advance for your help, Pete, and excuse my please, I'm 59 and _pharmacist_(Did you know pharamcists are ALL stupid as it comes to binary logic?) :mrgreen:
