Weight offset question

[Dylan]

Hi all,

i'm building my own home cockpit and i'm guessing if there is a reading offset to know the TOTAL aircraft weight i can then send to my hardware display. I know there are some panel gauges showing this so i assume there is an offset for this.

Thanks in advance

Yes.

For FSUIPC offsets you need the Programmer's guide from the FSUIPC SDK -- download it from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.

Searching that for "weight" gives you several references. Try 30C0 (apparently not verified for FS2004 yet -- please let me know) for pounds or 30C8 for the mass in "slugs". There's also the Zero Fuel Weight in 3BFC.

Regards,

Pete
