Offsets for APU EGT, Duct Pressure, Cabin Climb


Recommended Posts

I was writing to check if there are offsets for APU EGT, Fuel Temp, Duct Pressure and Cabin Climb.

I looked through the FSUIPC offset table in the SDK and couldnt find it. I guess I am searching using the wrong term - unless, of course, there arent any offsets for those entities.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Which version of FS?

Before FSX none of these were simulated as far as I can tell. In FSX the others are hardly simulated. There's no readout of the APU EGT nor fuel temperature supplied. I can't see any mention of "duct pressure" -- is there another name for that? But in FSUIPC4, as documented in the SDK, all the pressurisation values are included -- didn't you do a search? Offsets 0318-0328.

I use MSFS 2004.

I did perform a search on the PDF titled "FSUIPC for programmers" and couldnt find any offsets for APU EGT, Duct Pressure, Cabin Climb.

I did find the offsets you mention - 0318-0328 - in the "FSUIPC Offsets Status" document. However, I understood that to be specific to FSX only.

Duct Pressure - its the gauge on right-side of the overhead on the 737 - just below cabin climate control panel.

I guess these were never modeled in FS2004.

Thanks Pete.

Best regards,

None of those are simulated in FS 2004 as far as I know. Do you know different?

Because FSUIPC can only present information actually present in FS.

Of course. It does say that, and the title is "FSUIPC4 ...".

The overhead in the default 737 for FS2004? The so-called "overhead" only contains 6 toggle switches, a simplified fuel switch (for crossfeed only), and two incorrect starter switches. Where are you looking?

Add-on aircraft, like those from PMDG, may implement the other systems more adequately, but their values are not necessarily accessible, and certainly not identifiable, to FSUIPC.

Pete:

Thanks for confirming that.

I am looking at the add-on overhead. Since PMDG doesnt give out much about thier inner workings i posted here to see check on a couple of things -

a) if I was using the wrong search terms and wondered if they were called something different. I guess not.

b) Since APU EGT is not itself simulated in FS 2004, if there was a different way to extrapolate APU EGT by reading something that is actually simulated in FS. Guess not, once again.

Appreciate your response.

Have a great weekend.

Best regards
