Offset 090C

[oter33]

New offset for fsx:$090C, fuel used since start up in Eng1.

FLT 32 lenght 4. Result in pounds.

I have tried to convert the offset output to a usable value, but so far no sucess.

I hope someone have a good hint?

You don't need to convert it, it is already in a usable form -- pounds of fuel, as documented. Here's part of a Log where I Monitored both 090C and 0910 as FLT32's (FSUIPC's Logging tab, right-hand side):

617859 SimRead: 090C="GENERAL ENG FUEL USED SINCE START:1"

FLT64: 1.57705454783

617859 SimRead: 0910="GENERAL ENG ELAPSED TIME:1"

FLT64: 51.0742018745

617859 Monitor IPC:090C (FLT32) = 1.57705450

617859 Monitor IPC:0910 (FLT32) = 51.07420349

.... (later)

672125 SimRead: 090C="GENERAL ENG FUEL USED SINCE START:1"

FLT64: 70.8945062595

672125 SimRead: 0910="GENERAL ENG ELAPSED TIME:1"

FLT64: 51.0842001718

672125 Monitor IPC:090C (FLT32) = 70.89450836

672125 Monitor IPC:0910 (FLT32) = 51.08420181

Seems fine to me -- note that FSUIPC is converting the value into Float 32 format for you. A small loss of precision doing that, but certainly nothing significant.

Maybe you are reading it as an integer or a double (Float 64)? Try using the correct form.

Thank you for the fast answer.

It is now clear that my problem is to handle the FLT32 format in the SIOC editor,

and that it is not a FSUIPC problem.
