Really thanks, Pete. This clarify to me that what I understood was correct. Will look forward for that addon software, while I'll carry on this my simpler project of "managed" failures... Probably I'll open an open project on codeplex for this. Thanks! Best Regards, .Omar

Thanks again Pete, well, what I trying to do is what many before me tried to do (for what I've read on this forum and Internet) and is: simulate some sort of failure. I'm only analazying the situation by now: for example I've seen that even if I force the oil pressure to stay at zero (with that temporized, infinite loop, just to have a POC), all other parameters of simulation (Oil Temp, Fuel pressure and so on...) react according with the lack of oil but then I'd also to simulate the consequences (as I've read to a your past reply in this forum). I could accept this but the problem is that I'm not a motor engineer so I don't know all the "consequences" and more: I don't want to develop a simulator, but a failure generator and leave to to engine simulator to give all the consequences and even engine stops... Forcing parameter to zero with "infinite loop" is not correct because in this way a pilot simply can't do anything to fight the failure... The conclusion is that by now I'm more convinced to manage the failure more as a "list of event that could happen": every system have its own percentile chance to fail, every...10 minute, I'll check that chances...if the right value is rolled (yeah...like a dice roll :D) that system fails. In this way there is no a clue of realism but I think is better than nothing... Comments? :)))

Thanks Pete for your reply... hmmm...have to check out what Project Magenta can do (I really don't know it, just have "heard" its name...) Was thinking to implement a temporized "infinite loop" to maintain the value but I think this trick should only be used to quantities (that really can't be restored in reality), but as for pressure or any other "measure" that derives from many factors I think I should use other systems (Project Magenta or Sim-Avionics...)

Hi all, I have a problem with FSUIPC (but I know it's not a problem dued to FSUIPC itself since I have the same problem with SimConnect): I change value of "Engine 1 Oil pressure" (offset 08BA) with FSInterrogate and all works good. But...FSX suddendly recover the original value (I can see the indicator in the gauge rapidly change at the original value...) Anyone knows why this happen? Is there a solution to make a change to be permanent? Thanks! .Omar
