Setting speed in FS9

[metamarty]

Hello,

I'm having trouble setting speed through FSUIPC in FS9. What I do is writing the offset 0x2bc to set the airspeed. FS9 does not seem to respond to this. I have also set tried using offset 0x2b8 for TAS. FS9 also does not respond to it. I've tried it using my software and using FSInterrogate. FS9 simply seems to ignore writing the value and keep using its current airspeed. In FSX, writing the offset has the correct behavior.

Do I need to do something else in FS9 to set the airspeed?

Thanks,

Marty

I don't think you can set the user aircraft airspeed in FS9.

In FSX, writing the offset has the correct behavior.

Yes, there are a lot of improved facilities in FSX.

Ok, if that is the situation than there's not much I can do. But are there no instructor station applications for FS9 that allow aircraft placements with a speed setting? I was under the impression that this is a fairly standard operation.

I don't know. Maybe they use one or more of the assorted velocity and acceleration values -- offsets 3060-30B8 and 3178-31D0. Some of those (but not all) are effective when written to, probably the ones saved in the FLT files, since they are re-established when reloading flights. The others are probably effects not causes.

Ok, thank you very much for your time. I will investigate this further, but for now I know that I'm not doing anything wrong.
