Controlling Slew in FS9

[scruffyduck]

Hi Pete

I am trying to stop a pilot from using the slew function. I have been writing 0 to &H05DC which as your documentation suggests works fine in FS2002 but not in FS9. You say in your notes that it is works but is different from FS2002. Can you tell me what that difference is please?

What is happening is that I am writing 0 every second or so to that offset - in FS9 the plane does not move but stutters on the spot - is that the behavior I should expect and if so are you aware of any other way to lock down the slew mode? I can only identify that one offset for it using FSInterrogate.

Thanks in advance

It doesn't? Writing 0 to 05DC should most certainly switch slew off in all versions of FS since FS98.

See offset 05DE, as documented. That's the difference.

Hmmm! It may indeed be the difference described in offset 05DE. In FS2004 there's no way to prevent the axes being swapped (there are separate axis controls in FS for slew mode). You may need to do something about those too. Check offset 310B.

Thanks Pete - I will have a fiddle :D

Update

Hmmm tried writing binary 11111 to 310B (hopefully that is right - not very up on binary flags :oops: ) but it has no effect :cry:
