Hi folks!
I registered FSUIPC a few days ago. :D
Because I know a little bit C#, I've tried out the FSUIPC SDK.
My first simple program reads the latitude data from FSUIPC, converts it into degrees (with the factor from SDK) and shows the result in a MessageBox.
To examine if my result is correct i used FSInterrogate2. Everything was fine.
My problem:
To verify my data I use the Flight Simulator's "debug line" (the line with lat, long, kias... accessible via keystroke CTRL-Z).
The latitude displayed by FS2004 always(!) differs from the value I've read through FSUIPC.
The FSInterrogate2 value read from offset 0x6010 (FS2004 GPS Latitude in degrees) equals to my programs value, but differs from FS2004's one.
Example:
FS2004 shows N50.45...
FSInterrogate2 and my prog shows 50.72... :shock:
The latitude value always differs with a factor from 0.2 to 0.5 degrees!
I've tested this behaviour on two different PC's, so I think it's not my fault :wink:
My config:
- WinXP SP2
- FS2004 German with update to version 9.1
- FSUIPC 3.50 (registered)
- FSUIPC SDK Aug 05
Has anybody an idea what the problem is? Or maybe who to solve?
THX a lot, Daniel Kraemer
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english but my native language is German 8)
Inaccurately latitude data from offset 0x0860?

OK, it was my fault :oops:
For the whole community - This is my solution:
