read flight number

[dazzz]

Hi Pete

 

I need to read the flight number through an lua scipt, but it's not working as i expected, can you help me out with it?

 

I got this:

 

flightnumber = ipc.readUD(0x3130)

 

Thanks

You are reading an Unsigned DWORD (32-bit integer). If you actually refer to the Offsets list, as of course you should, you will see that it is a character string, not a binary number! After all it may also contain the airline prefix which is not numerical.

 

Please do use the documentation supplied.

Sorted with ipc.readSTR, thanks Pete
