NGX flaps offset

[Ori Ohevia]

Hello,

I know the FSUIPC doesn't fully support NGX and this is not recommended using FSUIPC to set keys for the NGX but still..

In the PMDG NG and the default 737 i can use the offset "x0BDC" but this offset doesn't work with NGX. could i use any other offset to set key for different flaps positions?

thanks a lot for helping,

FSUIPC doesn't "support" specific add-ons by itself at all. It is an interface into FS. Where an add-on aircraft uses FS systems, then they are fully usable directly through FSUIPC too. Where an add-on does its own thing, those systems may or may not be accessible -- usually, if so, via either mouse macros or gauge local variables (LVars). With FS9 and before a lot of aircraft actually used FSUIPC offsets (including PMDG), but this is not so with FSX.

I'm not a PMDG NGX user, but just check for yourself by using FSUIPC logging and operating the flaps. If you log events you may find it uses regular FSX controls, which you could use via FSUIPC too -- via offset 3110 if you need to use offsets.

I do seem to recall seeing folks managing calibrated flaps for the NGX via FSUIPC so it must use regular FS controls, surely? and checking the innards of FSUIPC, writes to offset 0BDC are translated by FSUIPC into appropriate FS "FLAPS SET" controls, which should work -- but maybe it only likes AXIS_FLAPS_SETS?
