Offset Question

[PushingTin]

Hallo Pete,

first of all I would like to thank you for investing so much time and efforts

to make life with MS FS a lot easier. As I am trying to learn writing

applications with C, i tried to get a small example working.

My idea behind is, when I am flying multiple legs in an airliner, and I

want to change my tripnumber after each leg, I have to load the aircraft

again with all sideeffects that I dont like .... like starting in cold & dark

and so on.

Now I tried to write a program that let me simply change the tripnumber

via offset 0x3130. After working hard ( I am a beginner with C ;-)) I

finally learned that it is read only ...... :-(

Is it that there is no possibility from MSFS to change it, or is it a FSUIPC

thing ?

Thanks again for your great products ....

Ah, you mean the Flight Number, for FS's inbuilt ATC? That comes from the Aircraft.CFG file.

Which version of Flight Sim are you using? I know you can't change it in FS9 or before, but I you can (according to Microsoft SimConnect documentation) change it in FSX and ESP. However, as it says in the FSUIPC Offsets Status documentation, I don't know if FSX/ESP then actually uses it in their ATC messaging. No one's tried it that I know of.

I don't use FS's ATC, only Radar Contact, and you can change your Flight Number / Callsign there quite easily.

Is it that there is no possibility from MSFS to change it, or is it a FSUIPC

thing ?

If you mean FS versions other than FSX or ESP, I don't know any way to change it by program. It isn't really something anyone has delved into so deeply. Sorry.

Regards

Pete
