Elusive tail hook

[BaobobMiller]

Has anyone found the offset for the tail hook? the one listed in the documentation is 3BA0 but it seems not to be accurate as it returns to a value of 0 any time the hook is not moving regardless of it being deployed or retracted.

 

Thanks, Bao

Hi,

 

I think you might not read it as Float64 (8 Byte length)?

As Thomas says, you need to read it the right way. Also please do use the tools available to see what is going on -- logging and monitoring in the FSUIPC menu and the utility FSInterrogate2 supplied in the SDK.
