Ice detector

[remcosol]

Pete another question,

 

Now im using this sioc script for an ide detector:

 

Var 0113, name ice_alert, Link FSUIPC_IN, Offset $0E86, Length 2

{

  IF &ice_alert = 1

  {

    &rele6 = 1    

  }

  IF &ice_alert = 0

  {

    &rele6 = 0    

  }

  IF &ice_alert = 2

  {

    &rele6 = 1    

  }

  IF &ice_alert = 0

  {

    &rele6 = 0    

  }

  IF &ice_alert = 3

  {

    &rele6 = 1    

  }

  IF &ice_alert = 0

  {

    &rele6 = 0    

  }

  IF &ice_alert = 4

  {

    &rele6 = 1    

  }

  IF &ice_alert = 0

  {

    &rele6 = 0    

  }

}

 

Var 0114, name rele6, Link USB_RELAYS, Device 1, Output 6

 

But i noticed there is another offset that should do the same job:

 

Var 0113, name structural_ice, Link FSUIPC_IN, Offset $0348, Length 2

{

  IF V0113 > 300

  {

    &rele6 = 1    

  }

  IF V0113 < 300

  {

    &rele6 = 0    

  }

}

 

Var 0114, name rele6, Link USB_RELAYS, Device 1, Output 6

 

However it does not seem to work , values are 0-16384 but what are these values?

 

Best regards Remco

Offset 0E86 is cloud icing, as set in the FS weather for clouds at the aircraft altitude (if you are in them, which it can't tell), and is a value from 0-4 according to the setting.

 

Offset 0348 is 0-16384, and is a structural ice build-up. It is read from SimConnect's variable "STRUCTURAL ICE PCT"

 

As usual with all "percentage" variables mapped to offsets, 16384 = 100%, 0 = 0%.

 

Please don't post SIOC code or scripts, whatever. They are meaningless to me. Just state the offset and the query please.

Thanks Pete for the answer, my question is with the 0348 offset is it working with every aircraft, do aircraft pickup icing in p3d ?

Sorry, I don't know. What you get is simply what SimConnect provides. FSUIPC just reflects the values provided by FS or P3D. You'd need to test every aircraft if you really needed to know. I would have thought it applied to all default aircraft, but whether add-on makers can bypass it, avoid it, or do their own icing I've no idea -- they do find ways of doing a lot of their own systems. For instance PMDG aircraft use hardly any of FS systems.

I'll investigate thank you !
