Controlling aircraft lights

[lordofwings]

I have been using FS Interrogate to read the light offsets for All Lights (0x0D0C), landing lights (0x028c), Other lights (0x0280 & 0x0281). While it seems to read the values off FS simulator (FSX) just fine, when I attempt to use that to write a value (Write Single Value with the appropriate data size) those changes do not seem to reflect in the simulator.

Doing anything wrong here?

They work fine here. But you don't even mention which Simulator you are talking about, let alone version of FSUIPC. They wrok fine here, with FSUIPC4 and FSX. I've not tried FS9 for a while, but nothing's been changed since I saw it work there too. Are you using FSInterrogate to write, or what? Please give more information if you need assistance. You could also try using FSUIPC logging.

Hi Pete,

The tags of this thread say "FSX", that is what I am using (left FS9 a long time ago). My FSUIPC version is 4.60a. I have FS Interrogate v2.x but I notice that writing to offsets with it seems not to do anything on the aircraft (at least in Pause mode). And yes, I am using FS Interrogate to write.
