Flight Direcor problem

[bigskyfunk]

Hello Pete,

I am having problems getting flight director data from offsets:

0x2EE8

0x2EF0

I am using Project Magenta MCP to control the Flight director modes & the Project Magenta PFD to display the flight director. The stange thing is the flight director bars work fine. I can fly them in any of the FD modes and they function as expected.

I would like to pass the FD roll and pitch to another display, but when I read the offsets above they are always zero. I confirmed this via FS Interogator and my own interface software.

Is there another offset that would contain this information?

Is there some reason theses offsets would be zero?

Thank you for your comments.

As my document says, they are only operating when the FS FD is active. Did you enable that? Is the FS MCP set to any vertical of lateral modes?

FS cannot give flight direction unless it knows what path you want to fly. Don't forget PM is not necessarily using the FS A/P and FD -- you'd need to check with Enrico to see how to get its own indications. Have you looked through the PM offsets list on the PM site?
