[Free offsets]

Hello, as I am using free offsets for my program, I used basically all that are for free use and need more...if I write those for PM or activesky or other programs which I do not use, will they be available and working for the purpose?

thanks

Then it looks like that aircraft is not using (or respecting) that simvar. Instead of using the aileron simvar offset, you could try sending the AXIS_AILERONS_SET control/event instead. To use this, you need to write the value/parameter to offset 0x3114 as a 4-byte int, then write the control number, which is 65763 for AXIS_AILERONS_SET, to 0x3110 as a 4-byte int. You can also write all 8 bytes in one go if you prefer.

Hi John. this made the trick! I am able to control the plane now as you suggested. Many thanks for your help!!!!

Also, what aircraft are you using? Your full log file would tell me this....if using an add-on, maybe try with another (default) aircraft to see if you  get the same issue.

Hi John. Before sending you the log,.. I took your suggestion and found out it's related to the aircraft. I am using Captain sim 767 and with it this reset to 0 happens. if I use any base aircraft it doesn't instead...you think there is a possible workaround for this or need to change the aircraft type?

Maybe also try assigning a button or key press to the control Offset Word Set with offset 0BB6 and parameter 12000 - does that work? If so, then there is something wrong with your code...please try this as well.

Good day John. I actually tried to do a key assignements as you instructed me. even without having my software running, the result is exactly the same. I attach the log of that for you to see.
So just to make it clear in this report my software is NOT running.

FSUIPC6.log

[Sending flight controls to FSUIPC]

Hi John. Attached the log file and the ini file I use.

FSUIPC6.2.log FSUIPC6.log FSUIPC6.ini

Edit: for reference I am sending a fixed value of 12000 to the aileron position from my program as a 2 bytes signed value

[Sending flight controls to FSUIPC]

Hi John. I made sure no P3D or FSUIPC assignements exist.

In the console I can see the 0BB6 write command as expected.

what I see is that at startup or each time I enter fsuipc menu and exit, the 0BB6 goes for a moment to the value I am writing but then goes immediatly to 0.
I am sure I am writing it right as I am writing a lot of other data also and all works ok...any idea?

Edit:
I also tried to remove the keyboard assignement but no difference..is there any other offset I need to write along with it like some flag or so?

[Sending flight controls to FSUIPC]

Hello, I've been tryin to sort this for a while but with no real success..

I have a program that during autopilot operation and thru calculations determines the target poistion of the various controls (pedals, yoke, cont column)
I want then to write these values in p3d thru fsuipc offests but seems I can't find the right combination...for example I write 0BB6 for the yoke control but seems to have no effect in p3d.

I also read in the user guide but didn0t really find an answer to my case.

Could you please address me the right way to do it?

 

Thanks

[FSUIPC Offset request]

Hello, after looking at both FSUIPC and P3D sdk, I couldn't find anything about information on terrain bank and pitch angle at aircraft position. as building a ground rotational matrix for some computations, I wonder if those 2 infos can be accesses.

 

Thanks and regards

[NDB coordinates]

Hello, It was my mistake as was reading as a float instead of int32, sorry. so  i can confirm they all of them work properly, you can take the ? out of the list 🙂

 

Thanks and regards

[NDB coordinates]

Thanks for answers, will check once back on it saturday.

[NDB coordinates]

Hello, I run FSUIPC 6.1.5 with P3D V5.

I tried to read the NDB coordinates from offsets 1124,1130,1128,1134,112C and 1138 but all of them return 0. I tried to read em via Lua as signed 32 bit integers like VOR or DME. These just always return 0 to me. I saw were marked ?-simC so I tought to report it.

For the flight path angle, there is a lua script called 'HUD Parameters for FSX' over on avsim that calculates this - you could take a look to see how this is done: https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fsxutil&Name=&FileName=&Author=&DLID=&Sort=Author&ScanMode=0

Tried it now in my python script and works well. numbers seem to be good. Thanks for the find.

If you can give me a feedback on my last reply would be helpful!

 

Thanks again

Nice! I will try it later. one less to sort 😄

Hmmmm ok. maybe you can help me to clear it further… here are the arinc labels about accelerations, rates and angles that I need to get value for from fsuipc and the assignements I did. If you tell me if in your opinion something is mismatching or you can help filling would be very helpful

[Acceleration, rates and angles]

Hello Peter, as I'm workin on some coding to emulate avionic IRS data, I'm having some doubts about velocities, rates and accelerations avail in fsuipc vs p3d sdk description

Following I copied the SDK description and what I think are the equivalents in FSUIPC. could you please confirm me that this is correct as the descriptions seems to mismatch?

Also, is any way to calculate and add or retrieve from fsuipc: track angle rate, flight path angle and flight path acceleration?

 

Thank you very much

[ILS category offset]

Hello Pete, I was looking at FSUIPC variable list to find infos about ILS category.

I see in the map in P3D when you select an ILS comes the information if CAT3 or different, but I can't find this info in the variable list.

Is there any chance to have it available?

 

Thanks

[Motorized spoiler handle motion and arming]

Hello guys, I am having a similar problem here with motorised Spoiler handle.

I think the easiest way to solve that would be to make the spoiler axis value in FSUIPC readable as well: this way you can base your motor logic on the input signal and not the spoiler position in the panel which lot of times jumps in up position before the phisical lever reaches the same position causing the motor to stop at a middle point as the logic reads the lever position in FS is already in the deployed position while the lever is not. Would it be possible to do Peter?

[Offset 11D0 (TAT)]

Hello Peter, I noticed that using this offsets, it behaves in a strange way when goin on low temperatures.

When approaching TAT of 0 degrees, the offset normally decreases till 0 and then suddenly jumps to 65353 and as the temperature decrease also this values decrease. Basically once converter / 256, if above 0 degrees it works ok, while when at or below 0 degrees, you have to subtract 255 from the final value. Is it at you thought to model it or should it be corrected?

I use also SAT offset and that one works normally...

Thanks

[Small function request]

Hi peter, I'd like to know if you could implement a functions for buttons like the "repeat while held" which will be "repeat while released"

This is for a switch problem of my throttle and is not possible to me to change it or will be a real pain...I don't know if it is a big mod but I don't think so....

I hope you can help me out

Thanks

[New WideFS version's problem........]

I tried again right now.

As I start wideclient, it connects noramally. then I started PM GC and 3 seconds after have started it wideclient had an abnormal program termination (the usual winXP one), for information, at offset 000058de

Then I restarted it and tried with PM MCP and after few seconds it did the same....

I attached the wideserver log and the 2 wideclient logs

By the way the wideserver.ini and wideclient.ini are not modified.

Thanks

Hello, I installed new widefs and FSUIPC yesterday.

When I started FS everything was ok....Then I started Wideclient on my 2nd PC and it connected with no problems via TCPIP.

When I started ProjectMagenta software it was unable to get date from FS....I mean...in PM status it said: "FS active" but no data was retrieved from it!

Same for MCP and CDU.

Also, after like 2 mins wideclient crashed and shutted down.
