FSLive Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hello. I'm currently using Phenty's C# DLL. I'm currently designing a website whereby it uploads the flight's statistics (heading, IAS, lat/long, altitude,etc) to my server. So far, I've got everything working perfectly except from the Altitude. Here is a snippet of code from the application: (C# CODE) Offset agl = new Offset(0x0570); string altitude = agl.Value.ToString(); Here is a snippet of code from the server: (PHP CODE) $altitude=round(substr(mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['altitude']),0,8)); $altitude = $altitude * (65536.0 * 65536.0) * 3.28084; My FS altitude currently shows: 2843FT My server-side altitude shows: 6.56168FT Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? If needed, I'll start the IPC logging but I wouldn't assume it is required for this type of 'problem' Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Henty Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hi, The altitude is stored in FSUIPC as an 8-byte integer, not a double so you need to declare the offset as a long: Offset agl = new Offset(0x0570); To convert this to a feet you need to divide by (65536.0 * 65536.0) and then multiply by 3.28084 for feet. So your PHP should probably look more like this: $altitude=round(substr(mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['altitude']),0,8)); $altitude = $altitude / (65536.0 * 65536.0) * 3.28084; See if that works...
