Hi,I started to build real simulator, and I want to know if is possible that send me the all of ofsset from FS 2004, I used the simkits instruments,opencockpits trajets and EPIC tarjets, I have all of the manuals, but I need more ofssets,Thanks

"Need more offsets"? Do you really mean you need more information? just download the FSUIPC SDK from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson and check the Programmer's Guide.

Thanks Peter, but I downloaded and saw the SDK document to programers, is very good, but I wnt to see where are the other offset, for example the Inverter if is possible or, the switches of the King Air 350, than more that SDK doc have, Thanks

Really? I think you will have to investigate a little more. The inverter is just a generator, a particular way of generating electricity. There are generator switches. You will need to think about the possible alternative names used in different aircraft. Alternator is another term for the same function.

It is highly unlikely that there is anything in the standard FS cockpits not covered in one way or another. Add-on aircraft are different, the programmers can add what they want and not supply any programming information to the outside world.

After this message I am off-line for a week -- back 25th September.

Alternators, generators and inverters are different things, actually. Alternators and generators provide electrical power from a mechanical input, the former producing AC and the latter DC. An inverter converts DC to AC and thus needs a working source of DC (generator or battery) to function.

Some aircraft use alternators (despite loosely terming them generators) and do not need inverters for AC power, except for generating standby AC from DC if the alternator fails. Others use true (DC) generators and must use inverters to power any AC instruments installed. The King Air seems to be one of those (I've never flown one), and that is why Flycol needed the inverter on/off switch. Still, FS has no inverter switch, so the generator switches will have to make do.

Bruno.
