Hi Again, I finally have this all working pretty well with the exception of a very noticeable lag in the lights that rely on the Lua script. The direct FSUIPC offset lights work without delay but any of the lights that use lvars and therefor require a brief trip through my Lua script delay by as much as 5 seconds before responding. I am very new to Lua programming so I'm certain I'm doing something wrong. Can anybody provide some insight? The VB.net code monitors the state of the FSUIPC offsets and operates the lights accordingly. I have 8 lights which are operate on standard FSUIPC offsets and thus not used in this script. They operate without delay Here is an example of the Lua script I am using. There are actually 35 entries but they are all basically the same while 1 do n1 = ipc.readLvar("L:B200CFuelCrossfeed") n2 = ipc.readLvar("L:B200CRvsNotReady") n3 = ipc.readLvar("L:B200CLBld") n4 = ipc.readLvar("L:B200CRBld") if n1==1 then ipc.writeUB(0x66C0, 1) else ipc.writeUB(0x66C0, 0) end if n2==1 then ipc.writeUB(0x66C1, 1) else ipc.writeUB(0x66C1, 0) end if n3==1 then ipc.writeUB(0x66C2, 1) else ipc.writeUB(0x66C2, 0) end if n4==1 then ipc.writeUB(0x66C3, 1) else ipc.writeUB(0x66C3, 0) end ipc.sleep(50) end Thanks

Thanks for your reply Paul, So if I understand it.... Since all I really need is to turn on or off lights, I should be able to set each of the 64 bytes to either a 0 or 1 then capture the data with .net and operate the lights accordingly. theoretically I could break it down into bits right?

I'm new to FSUIPC programming so please forgive me if this is a stupid question or if it has been asked a thousand times before but how does one pass several Lvars at a time to FSUIPC offsets as in the status of several warning lights. If we can use 0x66C0 do we have all of the available hex numbers up to 0x6700. i.e 0x66C1, 0x66C2....0x66FF? Thanks, Jerry
