Offset 0x0330 problem

[skalarki]

Hi

I was using this offset to read and write reference pressure. Everything was ok except fact I could read range only from 1000 hPa and whatever below still I am reading 1000 hPa. FSUIPC 4.40 registered

Then I downloaded FSUIPC 4.60

and now my reading is like that: 1062485632 for 1000 hPa in fsx

Am I missing something?

Thanks for help.

1062485632? Obviously you are missing something pretty fundamental. Offset 0330 is only a 16-bit value (occupying 2 bytes), with a maximum possible unsigned value of 65535, so you are making some serious error in reading it, and therefore probably in writing it too.

Use the tools available. FSUIPC provides IPC read and write logging and FSInterrogate allows you to play to your heart's content with any offsets.

That's right Pete, I know that is out of 16-bit integer. But the question is why that's happend after installing new FSUIPC4.60. With 4.40 version reading was correct 16-bit only? I was thinking, probably something has changed in nev version and this is the reason.

Anyway I will check with FSInterrogate as you suggest.

Thank you

Maybe the offset after 0330 now comes into play? Either way it is irrelevant. If you are getting a value greater than 65535 from a 16-bit quantity the error is in your program in how you are reading or interpreting the results. I suggest you use a debugger appropriate to the compiler and language you are using.
