[FSX] NW_SET_PENDING

Hello

How to use NW_SET_PENDING from NWI in FSX?

I use FSUIPC version 4.656 and newest FSUIPC-SDK

NW_SET_PENDING works perfectly in FS2004.

Thx

NW_SET_PENDING works perfectly in FS2004.

It is not differently coded in FSX. What is the problem?

My problem is.

NW_SET_PENDING works in FSX like NW_SET.

FSX:

   283594 NW_SET weather command received, ICAO=EBFS
   283594 &gt;NewSet:  **** New Weather being set: ICAO=EBFS (Dyn=0)
   283594 &gt;NewSet:  Pressure=1022.0, Drift=0.0

   283594 &gt;NewSet:  Temperature[0]: alt=0ft, Day=-5 C, NightVar=2 C, DewPt=-5 C

My problem is.

NW_SET_PENDING works in FSX like NW_SET.

Checking the code I see that in FSX only there's a special change which treats the very first "NW_SET_PENDING" as an "NW_SET". It should change after the first NW_ACTIVATE.

I don't now remember why this was necessary -- something to do with how the weather system works in SimConnect. The weather setting code hasn't been changed for nearly 5 years now and I am afraid I don't remember the technicalities.

Is there an NW_ACTIVATE further down the log? If so, aren't there any NW_SET_PENDING's logged thereafter?

I think the idea is to set the complete weather normally initially, rather than delay it, but then do the delayed implementation subsequently, whilst the user is actively flying.

Mind you, a lot of the value of the PENDING/ACTIVATE system is lost in SimConnect because of its delayed morphng mechanism in any case. In FS9 FSUIPC was actualy overwriting the current weather settings. In FSX the timing is all controlled by SimConnect. It is most out of FSUIPC's control.

Yes, end of "NW_SET_PENDING" weather data for all airport.

- Write "NW_CLEAR"

- write "NW_SET_PENDING with weather"

- ....

- write "NW_ACTIVATE"

Should I write the Weather in FSX with SimConnect?

Pete Dowson · January 31, 2011

Yes, end of "NW_SET_PENDING" weather data for all airport.

Yes, it works? What does 'end of "NW_SET_PENDING" weather data for all airport.' mean?

My question was:"Is there an NW_ACTIVATE further down the log? If so, aren't there any NW_SET_PENDING's logged thereafter?", and you answer "yes", so you are saying it is okay after all?

Your log shows okay:

In both log files. FSX and FS2004
197969 NW_SET_PENDING weather command received, ICAO=ETNU 
Right? All answered now? You message isn't clear I'm afraid.
Should I write the Weather in FSX with SimConnect?
If you want to. I'm not sure what your problem is at present as you haven't explained. If there is a problem then please describe it. What is it you want to do which doesn't appear to be working correctly? Is it simply a misunderstanding or any actual operational difficulty?

   198203 NW_ACTIVATE weather command received

Okay, NW_SET_PENDING work dont in FSX.

One more question:

How can I set the Dynamic Weather on zero in FSX?

_NewWeather w;
w.uCommand = NW_DYNAMICS;
w.uDynamics = 0;
FSUIPC_Write(0xC800,1024,&amp;w,&amp;dwResult);
FSUIPC_Process(&amp;dwResult);

This function set dynamic value=1

And

What is uSpare in struct "NewWeather"? I have not found "uSpare2" in the documentation.

unsigned short uSpare2[8];

Pete Dowson · January 31, 2011

Okay, NW_SET_PENDING work dont in FSX.

Do you see the PENDING request logged AFTER the first ACTIVATE? THAT's the question I asked and which you never answer!!!

How can I set the Dynamic Weather on zero in FSX?

I think FSX never has completely zero dynamics unless you change to GLOBAL mode, new in FSX. That's what global mode was for -- non-dynamic training weather.

What is uSpare in struct "NewWeather"? I have not found "uSpare2" in the documentation.

Anything called "spare" means "unused" or "reserved".

When will you answer my question? I will investigate here when I know the answer -- but it will not be till tomorrow now as I have to go out. An answer would be appreciated please!

No, i can't see NW_PENDING after first ACTIVATE in the log.

thx

No, i can't see NW_PENDING after first ACTIVATE in the log.

Okay. In that case please try 4.658, get it from this link FSUIPC 4.658.

Let me know if that changes it..

I'm off-line now for a few hours.

Pete

Sillo · January 31, 2011

Yeah,

works perfectly. Thanks

here is a link: FSUIPC4.log

Pete Dowson · January 31, 2011

works perfectly. Thanks

Good. It was a missing line in the code. Odd no one discovered it before.
