Many thanks ! I can't test it currently because the hardware needed for my software isn't available these days. But I'm almost sure it will work ! bye, Ed

For variables such as Longitude or Latitude, the user can specify a constant that will multiply with the variable before sending it. So I use the method described in the doc : The attachment shows the interface provided to define variables...

Thanks for your reply Pete... The problem is that currently my software isn't able to add or substract variables. It provides an interface which allows the user to define a variable (specify a name, the offset, the format, a multiplier) and that's all. Then this variable is used to build ARINC429 frames and send them to an avionic device. To allow the user to do this kind of things (add, substract and so on), I'll have to change a lot of things on my software and it will make it far more complex ! As the software will be used on different avionics devices, I can't "code in hard" that one specific variable is the sum or substraction of two others but I have to provide the user with an interface to do that (so develop a kind of scripting language that he will be able to use or something like that...). That's why it would have been far easier for me to use directly an offset to access the RADIO_HEIGHT var for exemple. I don't know if such an offset exists or if you did the substraction in fslook... Regards, Ed

Hi, In FsLook, there's a listing of a lot of various variables with there current values. I've designed an application that uses FSUIPC and I wish to retrieve this variables thanks to there offsets. The problem is that I don't know how to get the offset of a variable (in which documentation can I find this mappings ?). In the documentation "FSIUPC for Programmers.doc", there's some of the offsets linked to some of these variables but not all the variables are listed ! For exemple, I'd like to retrieve the value of the variable called RADIO_HEIGHT in FSLook. At which offset must I query for it ? thanks Ed
