Hi Pete, As state in the FSUIPC for Programmers documentation. - FS2002/4 A.I. Traffic Data (for TCAS applications and similar) "At present N is equal to 96, but this may change if more or less data is found to be required." I have with an "PAI afcad and traffic plan" for EGLL 144 occupied gates. Checked with TrafficToolBox. Any way TrafficLoock and my program give me only 96. Can I hope that in a future FSUIPC version this extension will be available. Thank you. FSMIC

Hi Pete, I would retrieve the exact location of the Airport Tower. Using as example the Airport at EGLL. In the bgl the tower is physically located at : Latitude : 51.470708 Longitude : -0.453339 Using FSinterrogate & FSUIPC last version show me : 05B4 Viewpoint Lat HI : 51,47748 05BC Viewpoint Long HI : -0,48870 0D54 Tower Latitude Hi : 51,47236 0D5C Tower Longitude Hi : -0,47684 Where can I find the exact Tower Location ? Best regards. Michel

Hi Pete, Thank you for the prompt reply. Very strange what happens : ********* FSUIPC, Version 3.201 by Pete Dowson ********* User Name="Michel A.

One question more : If I look at the new traffic explorer from the TraffixToolBox SDK the gate name is available. Could this be implemented in a next version of Fsuipc ??? Regards. Michel

Hi Pete, What could be wrong ??? I am using the fsuipc.cs from SDK_19 and Fsuipc registred version 3.201. Have problem with an external program to set FS9 to PAUSE 0x262. However setting the Slew mode 0x5DC works fine.

Hi Pete, Would it be possible to add in your great TrafficLook program the following : 1 - Flight number as showed with the option in fs9.cfg ShowLabelAirlineAndFlightNumber=1 //NOT in FS2004 menu 2 - ZULU time from Fsuipc offset x023B + x023C + 0x023A 3 - Why not writting the displayed information to a text file. If the 1- is possible add this info to TCAS_DATA2. Thank You. Michel

Thanks for the information. Is there a possibility to have in a future version of FSUIPC the from/to ICAO information, as we can see in the AIMAP.gau by Rodolfo Arata for FS2002 ??? I am working on a program "Airport Traffic Viewer & Recorder" and this info would be nice. Have a nice week end. Michel

Hi Pete, Thank you for your prompt reply. I found what is happening... Fs2004 was running on a old PIII 0.5 Ghz processor. I reverse the connection PIV 1.8 Ghz 1Gb memmory running FS2004 and PIII 500 Mhz the FSIinterrogate program. No more msg "Auto restart after delayed stoppage!" PS. Could find a maximum of the new "state code" in TCAS section from 0x81 to 0x92. Missed 0x8B. Where can i find this information ?? Regards Michel

Hi Pete, With the following data, could you please help. Newbie in C++ and C#. I am using the example UIPC_SDK_SHARP from Scott McCrory.

Could some body help me in the following : Using FSinterrogate.exe to display LAT, LON & ALT in TCAS. Which expression should be used to display the Factored values? Joined find a file TCAS_FSI.zip with the Project file TCAS.FSI. Thank you in advance. TCAS_FSI.zip

Can somebody help me. What is the proper expression for converting from the TCAS section - float lat; // 32-bit float, in degrees, –ve = South - float lon; // 32-bit float, in degrees, –ve = West - float alt; // 32-bit float, in feet (C++ or C#) Thanks In Advance
