Problem with Localizer Needle value

[lordofwings]

It so happens that I also need to interpret the value of the localizer needle value to provide a display of the CDI.

 

I noticed that the offset related to the localizer needle says it has a value between -127 to +127, a signed value. However the FSUIPC Offsets documentation says that offset is ONE byte, which means in FSUIPC .NET CLient DLL one would need to declare the offset as Offset<byte>.

 

But.... in .NET a byte type is an UNSIGNED value, meaning whatever you put there is going to be interpreted as 0..255 and not -127 to +127.

You just need to declare the offset as a signed byte which is sbyte in c# or SByte in VB.

 

e.g. Offset<sbyte>
