Hi Pete, Thanks for your response. I worded my request wrongly. When I meant - "I did read and see that the offset 0x3380 can be used to write a message, but it cannot read the same value." I meant that I could use a code snippet to write to FS and it would display it the FS window with the offset of 3380, but I could not read any other messages posted by FS. I haven't specifically tried about FS Passengers, but the default FS messages like door closed, was not read when making a refresh call with offset 3380. Since you have mentioned that I can actually read, let me go back and see what I can get. Thanks for pointing me into some direction. I am using FS9, and hope to trap those messages. Thanks again! Vincent

I am using Flight Simulator 2004 and wanted to know if there is a way I can capture the text from a posted FS message. Like when the door of the aircraft is closed, the text Door closed is displayed. I want to capture that message. I did read and see that the offset 0x3380 can be used to write a message, but it cannot read the same value. public Offset<string> messageWrite = new Offset<string>(0x3380, 128); I wouldn't mind sharing what I am trying to do. I am using 3rd party software's that display various text messages. For example FSPassengers displays messages of crossing 10000 ft, seats belts off or on, door closed etc. I want to trap these messages into my program. The reason why I want to trap is I don't want to keep the FS9 window open is to reduce the CPU heat by running FS9 onscreen, I would rather keep it minimized. These are some of the examples, I know I could probably check doors, or seat belt etc, but want to know if there is anyway within FSUIPC or any addon that I can read the string message. Thanks in advance Regards, Vincent.

Oops thanks Pete, yes I meant COM1 and COM2 actually, so there is no way I can see the transmission for my aircraft. I was trying to do a small tool to capture the radio transmission the same way its relayed to the kneeboard. thanks for providing the info.
