Subotai Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 Hi Pete, here is a couple of "out there" questions. No worries if that is not possible/too much hassle, but I thought I'd ask. 1) I would like to know the status of the aircraft exits (Shift-E, 1, 2 - I think there are no more than two !?), which ones are available and their open/closed status. 2) Upon landing a plane, exiting the runway and contacting ground ATC, I get assigned a parking/ramp/gate space to taxi to. Is there any way to modify this via FSUIPC and force ATC to assign me a parking spot that I patch in beforehand somehow ? I know, especially the second one sounds nuts :roll:, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks, Matthias

You must have missed this entry in the Release Notes (first Announcement in this Forum) and in the History document: Quote 4. The byte at offset 3367 shows doors that are open (FS2004 only). At present this only provides bit 2^0 for the main doors. If I ever find other flags I’ll add them too. This was in version 3.212. I'm not able to find any other exit indications I'm afraid.

I am just using a printout of the programmer manual. Quote 4. The byte at offset 3367 shows doors that are open (FS2004 only). At present this only provides bit 2^0 for the main doors. If I ever find other flags I’ll add them too. Great, that's pretty good already. I guess in case of the second door you would ideally also need a flag that indicates the existence of such door, as I noticed not all planes support it. Quote No, sorry, I know of no way at all to interact with ATC. Ok, I pretty much expected that answer. I think if we ever get access to ATC in general, it would open an immense potential for all kinds of add-ons. Thanks, Pete ! P.S.: The earlier 'Save Flight' change integrated great, just as I hoped it would. :D Matthias
jd Posted June 7, 2004 Report Posted June 7, 2004 maybe you haven't heard of radar contact (http://www.jdtllc.com). no need to wait :lol:
Subotai Posted June 7, 2004 Author Report Posted June 7, 2004 Hey jd, this looks very interesting, I have not heard of it before. Reading the review however it appears as if it has exactly that problem, that it doesn't integrate with the FS ATC. I will read some more reviews and maybe give it a closer look sometimes. Unfortunately though it is not an option to address my ATC parking issue as I wouldn't want to require users of my upcoming Add-On to als have Radar Contact. Matthias
