  2. Disallow Pause Offset 0x0262

    in FSUIPC Client DLL for .NET

    Posted

    Our Acars program does not allow pilots to slew, use time acceleration or pause their flight simulator.

    I am having an issue where I am using offset 0X0262 to send a value of 0 to the simulator if a pause is detected.

    I have declared my offsets as follows: 

    Offset<short> FSUIPCUnPause = new Offset<short>("FSUIPCUnPause", 0x0262, false); //Prevents flight simulator from being paused.
Offset<short> FSUIPCNoAcceleraton = new Offset<short>("FSUIPCNoAcceleration", 0x0C1A, false); //Prevents flight simulator from increasing or decreasing sim rate.
Offset<short> FSUIPCNoSlew = new Offset<short>("FSUIPCNoSlew", 0x05DC, false); //Prevents flight simulator from slewing.

    All three offsets are executed at the same time: 

    FSUIPCConnection.Process(new string[] { "FSUIPCUnPause", "FSUIPCNoSlew", "FSUIPCNoAcceleration" });
FSUIPCUnPause.Value = 0;
FSUIPCNoSlew.Value = 0;
FSUIPCNoAcceleraton.Value = 256;

    If I look at the FSUIPC.log the values are be sent for NoSlew & NoAcceleration but not for UnPause:

    657547 WRITEex 0C1A,   2 bytes: 00 01
    664563 WRITEex 05DC,   2 bytes: 00 00
    671157 ### Mode: PAUSE on

    This did work in the past, but it does not seem to work anymore.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Marc

  3. Strange Behavior w/ Offset 0X3124

    in FSUIPC Client DLL for .NET

    Hi Paul,

    You are correct, I had declared the offset as a short instead of a byte.  😞

    Reading your explanation, this makes perfect sense.

    I have changed the offset from a short to a byte in my code and as expected, I am now getting the correct values on a consistent basis.

    Not sure how I missed that, but thanks for pointing out my error.

    Regards,

    Marc

  4. Strange Behavior w/ Offset 0X3124

    in FSUIPC Client DLL for .NET

    Posted

    I have noticed some strange behavior with offset 0X3124 to detect a flight simulator platform both with FSUIPC6 & FSUIPC7 (latest versions).

    Usually, when I load a flight whether FS20 or P3Dv5.2, offset 0X3124 will return the following values:

    • 52 for P3Dv5.2
    • 110 for FS20

    However sometimes when I load a flight, it will return a weird value of 820. 803, 806, etc.

    I have also noticed that this happens mid-flight on flights over 3 hours which plays havoc with my applications.

    I do not have this issue with offset 0X3308, but unfortunately it does not provide the detailed flight simulator platforms that I am looking for.

    Any ideas?

    I have attached a couple of raw data screenshots of the raw data.

    Regards,

    The link that he provided indicates: Your purchase doesn’t include a keycode. You need to be the owner of the previous version of the product named ejetsv1-p3d4-v3.exe. Please use the keycode that you received with that purchase to unlock this installer.

    If you do not have a previous version which product do you need to purchase to get the v3 E190 for P3Dv4/5? ejetsv1-p3d4-v3.exe does not really tell which product you need to purchase.

    @CXA001 the Upgrade you wish to purchase is only for owners of the previous Ejets version for P3D. The old version of these Ejets for P3D was this one: 

    ejetsv1-p3d4-v3.exe

    If you do not possess this ejets version, then this upgrade is not applicable to you. You will need to purchase the Embraer E-jets E170 and E190 V3.

    I am interested in purchasing Embraer E-jets E170 and E190 V3 Upgrade for P3Dv4/5 and according to your web site, it indicates that I need to also purchase ejetsv1-p3d4-v3.exe. Which product is ejetsv1-p3d4-v3.exe?

  14. Unpause MSFS 2020

    in FSUIPC Client DLL for .NET

    Posted

    With all flight sim platforms including all versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and Laminar Research X-Plane, if my application detects a pause in the sim, it will immeadately unpause the simulation.

    This is necessary as all our flights are flown online and pausing the sim while online is a big no-no.

    Code is as follows (C#): 

    Offset<short> FSUIPCUnPause = new Offset<short>("FSUIPCUnPause", 0x0262, false);
FSUIPCConnection.Process(new string[] { "FSUIPCUnPause" });
FSUIPCUnPause.Value = 0;

    This does not work with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

    Any ideas as to why this works with all other flight simulator platforms except MSFS 2020?

    Thanks in advance,
    Marc

     

  23. A Word of Thanks

    After many months of coding, we have finally released our new Acars system called CXAcars which replaces FSAcars. The response from our pilots has been extremely positive.

    I wanted to take a moment to personally thank Pete Dawson, Thomas Richter & Paul Henty. You have been absolutely fantastic in answering my question and I could not have done this without your assistance.

    Thanks again!

  25. Lat & Longs between returned with comma instead of decimal

    in FSUIPC Client DLL for .NET

    Posted

    We are in the process of beta-testing our new ACARs software and over all it is going very well.

    However, I have a very particular case where FSUIPC is returning the current latitude and longitude for one pilot only with commas instead of decimals.

    LAT= 47,464698792 instead of 47.464698792

     LONG = 8,5491695404 instead of 8.5491695404 

    Offset<long> FSUIPCLatitude = new Offset<long>("FSUIPCLatitude", 0x0560); // Offset for Latitude.
Offset<long> FSUIPCLongitude = new Offset<long>("FSUIPCLongitude", 0x0568); // Offset for Longitude.
  
//Current latitude and longitude from FSUPIC.
stringCurrentLatitude = Convert.ToString(FSUIPCLatitude.Value * 90m / (10001750m * 65536m * 65536m));
doubleCurrentLatitude = Convert.ToDouble(stringCurrentLatitude);
stringCurrentLongitude = Convert.ToString(FSUIPCLongitude.Value * 360m / (65536m * 65536m * 65536m * 65536m));
doubleCurrentLongitude = Convert.ToDouble(stringCurrentLongitude);

    Worse case, I could put in some code to replace the comma in the string with a decimal, but I found this very strange especially since only one pilot is experiencing this.

    Any ideas on what would cause this?

    Regards,

    Marc
