Offsets for HSI heading and course values

[rustam]

Hello everybody,

I'd like to display heading and course degrees on Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) through FSUIPC. I can see the tool-tips regular way (mouse hovering) but it's inconvenient during flight. E.g., I've tried to use the offset 0x0580 further converted to magnetic heading and displayed at each inc/dec of the heading bug but what I've got is aircraft's positional heading, not the one selected on HSI. Basically, what I want to achieve is a sort of 'tool-tip display using FSUIPC'.

So, I wonder if one can successfully retrieve these values using FSUIPC on each turn/press of the HSI rotary button?

Thanks!

Hi,

I think you are looking for

AP Heading, 07CC 2 Autopilot heading value, as degrees*65536/360

Course, 0C4E 2 NAV1 OBS setting (degrees, 0–359)

Thank you, Thomas! That's exactly what I was looking for. It works! :)
