Thank you. I have looked in a very old list on projectmagenta website and didn't read the age of this list so I also didn't find the 66C0 - 66FF. I have the actual manual and I found the specific sites. - sorry. At first just I want to use the software for my own, but good to know that there is the possibility to get offsets to make a selfcreated program public. Thank you for helping. Andy

Hi! I have just one question. Is it possible to create own offsets or are free offsets in fsuipc available to use in self-made programs. I want to link my io-card-system with a self-made program so that I can controll leds, sounds .... by own program. I found different offsets in the manual e.g. 5600 (25660) , 6640 (192), 6D00 (3712) and 8300 (11520). I think the values in brakets are the range? Is it possible to use these offsets? Thank you Andy

Hi! I have a question about controlling the FS2004. With FSUIPC (Buttons + Switches) it is possible to link a joystick button with the function "Refresh Scenery". This works well. But is there also the posibility to refresh the scenery by an offset? I want to refresh the scenery by a home-made programm and not with a joystick button. Andy

My target is to write a program for my cockpit without using the menus of the FS. On this program I want to set my aircraft to an airport and there on a runway. It should be like a small instructor station. So I have to know the position (longitude, latitude, altitude, heading) of each runway in FS. I read out this data with the program "Super FlightPlanner" which generates a database of all these datas from FS and allows to export this data to a csv-file. Here an example how this file looks: This is just the header: "AirportId";"RunwayId";"Lat";"Lon";"Alt";"Heading";"Surface";"Length";"Width" These are the data: "KSEA";"16L";47,447317;-122,307860;428;180,34;"ASPHALT";11893;149 "KSEA";"34R";47,447317;-122,307860;428;180,34;"ASPHALT";11893;149 "KSEA";"16R";47,450699;-122,311069;428;180,34;"CONCRETE";9419;149 "KSEA";"34L";47,450699;-122,311069;428;180,34;"CONCRETE";9419;149 You can imagine that it is really important for me that the aircraft has exactly the position on the runway. Yes, I use this information. for KSEA 34R it is N47 25.89' W122 18.48' Maybe you can explain me how I can calculate from the coordinates above (N47 25.89' W122 18.48') to that one which gives FSUIPC if I read out the position (long/lat) from my aircraft on KSEA 34R. So it will be easier for me to check and complain the data with the information read out from the FS by SuperFlightPlanner (text-file). Well I think you have more knowledge in this material then anyone else so I hope you can help me and understand my problem. Andy

Hi, because of my problem: Also the Linker-problem is clear. I couln't find the package for the Borland Builder, just the normal C package. But because of your answer I found it. Now I can use the Functions. The read and write functions works well. But now I would like to read out the current position( longitude, latitude) and set a new one. But when I read out the Position of an Airport, the coordinates departs from the real out of a text-file. I give you an example: Current Airport: KSEA Runway: 34R longitude: -122,307860 latitude: 47,447317 longitude read out by FSUIPC: -122,307998333126 latitude read out by FSUIPC: 47,4314848334006 I did this "query" as you've written in your SDK-Folder. So is this a probelm with rounding? Or do you know more? Thanks, Andy

Hi Pete, thanks for your quick answer. Since 1 year I´m programming with C++ in the school. But I do my best ;) The first probelm is cleared. I changed the developement environment to Borlad C++ Builder 6. The DWORD probelm disappears, it had to disappear. But now I've got a linker error. I don´t know why. I did all steps from the README-File. I insered the LIB and Header file into my source folder I included the header in my source module(s) and I added the Lib to my Project. The Error-Message says: [Linker Error] 'Path\FSUIPC_USER.lib' contains ivalid OMF record, type 0x21 (possibly COFF) Does I have to include a DLL-File or do you know what is wrong? Thank You Andy

Hi, thanks for answering quickly. I included the "GAUGES.H" File into my Project. But the old Error still exists. A second Error-Message appears: "'DWORD' is declared several times" It is also declared in "windef.h". Now I don't know what to do. Thank You Andy

Hi, first of all I´m new in this forum and I would like to write some small programms for the Flight Simulator 9 with FSUIPC. I've already dowloaded the FSUIPC SDK. Then I've included the c++ Demo Source into my development environment which is called: Borland Turbo c++ During Compiling, there appears an error message: "Error in Declarationsyntax". I've got the impression, that my development environment can't work with the datatyp "DWORD". Does anybody know this problem or does anybody even have a solution? Thank you Andy
