I am trying to acheive an entirely blank display, but that naughty little flashing slew message is my last hurdle to achieve my goal. Does anyone know how to slay the slew? FYI: I do want to be in slew mode!

I need help witing altitude to FS2002 over WideFS. I Start with an altitude in feet then convert to meters, of course. I then break up the units and the fractional parts. Using a union (uAlt) I individually determine their hex values and write them to a temporary buffer. That temporary buffer then gets sent to FS. When it does its thing it sends the plane to 10000 feet and locks up. Any ideas? (see code below) //***************bAltWrite2FS*************** //will eventually have a void parameter and grab info from shared //memory bool fs02if::bAltWrite2FS( double dAlt ) { DWORD dwResult; int i, j, tmpVal; char chTmpBuffer[8] = {'0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0' }; bool bTmp; //TODO: get shared memory data //Note: dAlt is in meters uAlt.iVal = (int)floor( dAlt ); //get the units for( i=0; i <= 4 ; i++ ) { chTmpBuffer[i+4] = uAlt.chVal; //copy units to temp buffer } tmpVal = (int)floor( ( dAlt - uAlt.iVal ) * 100 ); //get dec (precision 2) uAlt.iVal = tmpVal; //assign to union for( j = 0; j <= 4 ; j++ ) { chTmpBuffer = uAlt.chVal; //copy decimal to temp buffer } //8 byte swap b8ByteSwap( chTmpBuffer ); // Write the true heading to MSFS bTmp = FSUIPC_Write(0x0570, 8, chTmpBuffer, &dwResult) && FSUIPC_Process(&dwResult); // Process the request(s) return bTmp; }
