I want to thank you for your time and efforts.

Hi Paul, I am using your client to communicate with the sim. Simconnect seemed to be more complicated and it lacks support and documentation for mortals like us. I am not a programmer so I do not understand much of the available official documentation So I go for the fsuipc client dll. But I do also think that events will be nice as using timers and threads uses to much sources. I am not a programmer so maybe I am doing things wrong. What I do is I try to manage timer intervals when the comm is idle and from a point of time it gets more complicated then not having events.

Hi Tom, I build this example app using Paul's client. I am not using LUA or Link2FS. Just my own C# codes. Maybe this gives you an idea. You can ask me if you have further questions.

Hi Sebastien, You can try sample code below (C#) //definitions private Offset<int> sendControl = new Offset<int>(0x3110, true); private readonly int COM_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC = 65636; private readonly int COM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC = 65637; private readonly int COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC = 65638; private readonly int COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC = 65639; private void btn_winc_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { FSUIPCConnection.Process(); sendControl.Value = COM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC; }

Hi Pete, LM team announced an upcoming update 2.1 but they did not announced this bug in the list. I believe this is an easy one for them to fix it. Any news?

Uppps I believe I 've attached a wrong file. This file is 28 MB, which part do I have to send?

I have a problem with master battery in version 4.923 (P3D2 compatible) and 4.921 (not compatible) P3D2 (I tried both). I can't write the offset 281C or 3102, I can only read them. On the other hand I can send a control "TOGGLE_MASTER_BATTERY 66241" and it works. A log file with events enabled is attached.

I have send you an email. Here are some specific new entries ; (Refer to the P3D2 SDK Learning Center documentation) Look for Prepar3D SDK\Utilities\Simconnect\Camera Specific Functions Look for Prepar3D SDK\Utilities\Simconnect\External Sim Specific Functions this "external sim" subject can be revolutionary for sim world if I am understanding it wright.

thank you very much

Hi Pete, There are some new entries in P3D2 simconnect like external sim and new view system. Will they be available in FSUIPC?

Thank you Pete. Sorry for rushing you just after holiday. :oops:

With version 4.921 and P3D2, Master Battery is not functioning in SPAD and in my own custom .NET application using FSUIPC.net Client either.

Thank you Paul. Now it is working. God bless you...

Hi Paul, I have a small C# program referencing your .dll. It was working without any problem until yesterday I upgrade my OS to Win8 from Win7. Now whenever I run the software I get an error if the sim is not running. Message says: FSUIPC Error #9: FSUIPC_ERR_NOTOPEN. The connection to class instance 00 of WideClient.exe is not open. error highlighs line of "FSUIPCConnection.Open() statement. public void Connect() { try { FSUIPCConnection.Open(); getVersions(); toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "Connection Established!"; timer1.Enabled = true; toolStripButton1.Enabled = false; toolStripButton2.Enabled = true; pictureBox1.Image = global::Radio.Properties.Resources.bullet_green_icon__1_; loadActiveFlightPlan(); } catch (Exception) { Disconnect(); } } [/CODE] My program checks the availability of the FSUIPC connection before starting in a try, catch statement and if there is no connection it simply closes the connection. So... I am comfused about what is going wrong with the win8 environment. Can you lead a hand here? Best Regards, Ahmet Mehmetbeyoglu

Thank you Pete. I will dig more as you suggest. I believe it is something else interfering. I use some add-ons like F1 Battery X an add-on which recharges battery voltage. Maybe one of them could be the reason. I also use saitek panels. I can use master battery from saitek panels very well. If I find a clue I will inform you then. Best Regards, Ahmet,

I enables "events (non axis controls)" and logged it.

My bad, sorry. So you mean "Events (non-axis controls)" I thought this is something different.

Hi Pete, Thanks for your answer. I am using FSUIPC logger and I watch the value on the FS title Bar. I am using default planes and I tried on different planes. I can manage the mastery battery inside the cockpit or in game gauges. They perfectly work well. In my software I am using a button to toggle it. When it is "ON" the button also turns to green when it is "OFF" the button is colorless. There are my other buttons like fuel pump, alternator, avionics... and they work perfectly well but this particular "master battery". I use exactly the same code with other toggle buttons. But I cant toggle the battery with my button. I debug my code step by step. I see that my button is able to toggle the value but as soon as it exist that block the value goes back to previous state. Looks like something else is switching it back.

Hi, I am making a software to integrate FSX via FSUIPC. Evertyhing goes well, Thanks To Pete and Paul. ...but now I have a problem which I could not find a solution. Maybe someone can have an idea. I made a temporary code to test the result. The objective here is to toggle the master battery as you see. My problem is the master battery keeps its state. When I debug the values I see that my toggle button is working and writing the value as I want but when it goes back to reading the value the master battery value stays in its previous state. For example assume that the battery is on and value is 1, when I turn it of it gets 0. But as soon as it reads the value it goes back to one. My button is working but I cant find why or what makes the value switch back to its previous state. Can you help me? My code is in C# and it is as fallows. ... public partial class Form1 : Form { private Offset<int> _masterBattery = new Offset<int>(0x281C); ... public void ConnectFSUIPC() { try { FSUIPCConnection.Open(); timer1.Enabled = true; } catch (Exception) { FSUIPCConnection.Close(); } } public void getSIMData() { FSUIPCConnection.Process(); switch (_masterBattery.Value) { case 0: button1.BackColor = Color.Empty; break; case 1: button1.BackColor = Color.LightGreen; break; } } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ConnectFSUIPC(); } private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { getSIMData(); } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { switch (_masterBattery.Value) { case 0: _masterBattery.Value = 1; FSUIPCConnection.Process(); break; case 1: _masterBattery.Value = 0; FSUIPCConnection.Process(); break; } } } }

Thanks to you Paul, I learned something new today.

Hi, I have a little problem. When I try to read the ambient wind speed offset 0x0E90 with C#, I get an imposible value. Do I have to convert it to something? Or am I doing something wrong? "private Offset<int> _ambientWindSpeed = new Offset<int>(0x0E90)"
