  1. Pete, I can't seem to find the appropriate offsets for the aileron and elevator control. Can you please provide them for me. Thanks
  2. Here is my situation. The primary source of control input is from PFC flight controls. I would like to be able to manipulate the aileron and elevator control surfaces using program control. I don't want to, or need to, interact with the PFC flight controls (or any other joystick) during this manipulation period. However, I want to be able to spcifiy the deflection of the aileron and elevator and have the plane appropriately respond in MSFS. In other words, providng a defelection of +X to the aileron causes the plane to roll to the right and a deflection of -X causes the plane to roll to the left. The ratio of X to the roll angle is not important as long as it is consistant. Is this possible? Thanks
  3. Thanks to both scruffyduck and Pete. Your comments were along the lines I was hoping for. Just for a little more clarification, what approximate time duration should I expect from the time I issue a FSUIPC_Process call to the time it returns and my variables have been updated? One last thing, this might be trivail but how do I setup the frame rate liminitor in Flight Simulator? Also, if my software is not synced up with the frame rate in flight simulator will there be any adverse effects. Meaning, if I am calling my loop faster than the frame rate what will happen. My guess would be that I would be bogging down my application since it would have to wait for FSUIPC_Process to return, which will only return in a one-to-one relationship with the frame rate. I would assume if my application was running slower than the frame rate I would possibly end up with jerky display. Thanks again.
  4. I am trying to create a program to read data from Flight Simulator 2004 and then drive an external visual system. I need things like attitude, altitude, airspeed, engine parameters, gps data, etc.... I am concerned with update rates to my visual system. What types of update rates can I expect from FSUIPC. Since I will be reading a lot of data from FSUIPC and it appears the data I will need is scattered throughout the offset table, I was wondering if it would be faster to read individual items calling FSUIPC_Process() after each item or reading all the data and then calling FSUIPC_Process(). The computer I will be using will have at least the following specs: 2Ghz processor 1G ram High end video card Thanks for all your help.
  5. I was wondering if it is possible to read the location (bearing and distance from the airplane) of lightning strikes using fsuipc.
