FSUIPC

[antonio_beta]

Good morning Mr. Peter Dowson,

I apologize me in advance for my English but me I am Italian.

I need Your help for some information of FSUIPC.

I want to build a MOTION-PLATFORM with three degrees of liberty to move my flight simulator with three motors, but I have to realize a software that has to succeed in communicating with FSUIPC. It needs me to withdraw from FSUIPC the numerical data of PITCH, ROLL and HEAVE. This way I can realize a software that he/she works with these numerical data.

And' possible to enter inside FSUIPC and to withdraw these data?

How can I do everything this?

Best regards.

Anthony

Yes, indeed it is. Please download the FSUIPC SDK from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson, and check the Programmers' Guide. In particular, you will find not only Pitch, Bank and Heading (PBH -- FS terminology), but also the current velocities in each of the 6 axes of freedom, and the accelerations as well. I think, for motion platforms, you will be better using accelerations than actual current values, as you need to derive differences anyway.

Regards,

Pete
