[LVAR access with FSUIPC 7.1.0]

ReadLVar() method works with latest fsuipc version (7.2), as long as wasm is installed and activated. No wasm, no ReadLVar() and that creates a paradox since there are no such restrictions in fsuipc 5/6.

I'm wondering if there's a way to seperare offset 0x0D70 from wasm in fsuipc7.

Why the question? The WASM module does no harm.

Just asking!

Thank you.

A question:

Is the WASM module a requirement in order to read Lvars (using the FSUIPC7.ini method)?

Does seem to be a bug, so it should be reported. Is the value reporting correctly for aircraft with retractable gears?

Hello Pete. Yes it is reporting correctly for those aircraft.

Who knows! I could report this and it may get fixed, but if you check offset 060C first this should be valid for all flight sims, so it doesn't have to be specific for MSFS.

If you could report it, it would be great! It helps if the behavior is on par with the previous versions.

Hi Nick,

yes, seems that way. However, you can check offset 060C (gear retractable flag), and if that's 0 then you can ignore 0x0BE8.

John

Thank you John.

 

So is this the correct behavior and won't change? If that's the case i will have to adjust our ACARS code for MSFS only 🙂 I'm asking cause in previous simulators offset 0BE8 was always 16383 in aircraft with no retractable gear.

[FSUIPC7 Gear handle position offset]

Good day to all.

In MSFS the gear handle position offset (0x0BE8) when using C172 (and i suspect in all aircraft with non retractable gear), is 0 on ground instead of 16383. Only if you take off and press the toggle gear button it changes to 16383 and stays that way.

Thanks.

New version 3.1.20 now on NuGet.

• MSFS has been added to the flight sim Enum
• FsVersion.ToString() should now return the correct version value when connected to MSFS

That was fast! Thank you Paul!

Hello Paul.

I don't know if i should post it here or in the main fsuipc forum.

 

FSUIPCConnection.FlightSimVersionConnected.ToString() returns 13 instead of a string in MSFS2020. I'm aware that fsuipc7 is still in beta, just wanted to report it.

Instead of payload weights and distribution? What would you use counts of passengers or bags/parcels for? The crucial thing for performance and balance is the weight and distribution.

Pete

 

 

Not instead, an addition. I'm sure it would be very useful for acars software used by virtual airlines and various other programs, in order to record the exact number of passengers and cargo loaded by pilots. 

[FS2020 - A lot of informations]

Any idea if this will be the first sim at last to provide the number of passengers and cargo loaded or is still too early for that kind of questions?

[Empty Weight/Payload weight]

I don't think so.

 

Why are the FS payloads not available with some aircraft?  Aren't they loading anything? What about the balance, the CG?

 

Pete

 

Oh crap! I forgot to mention that for some stupid reason they have more than 61 stations, so the returning value using offset 1400 is not accurate.

[Empty Weight/Payload weight]

Hello,

 

I want to calculate the payload of an aircraft both in fsx and fs9 for a program i've been working on. I don't want to use the 1400 offset since it's not working with some aircraft like Flight's ATR and captain sim 707.

 

So what i do is read the ZFW and subtract the empty weight. So far so good, but although in FSX using FSUIPC4 it's possible to calculate an aircraft's empty weight using offset 1330, you can't do that in FS9 since offset 1330 is not supported in FSUIPC3 (tested it just for fun and it kept returning the same crazy value regardless the type of the aircraft).

 

So i was wondering if there's another way to read the Empty Weight using FSUIPC3.
