How many AI LUA - help needed

[Sabrefly]

Guys,

I'm using this LUA on a networked PC (for WideClient), that shows me FPS and VAS used:

Quote

 

-- Create the display window for 2 values, position x=800, y=400
h = display.create("My next display", 2, 800, 400)

-- Update the display at 500 msec intervals (see event at end)
function mytimer(time)

    -- display 1 = frame rate
    fr = ipc.readUW(0x0274)
    if fr ~= 0 then fr = 32768/fr end
    fr = math.floor((fr * 10) + 0.5)/10
    display.show(h, 1, "Frame Rate " .. fr .. " fps")
   
    -- display 2 = memory left free
    mem = ipc.readUD(0x024C)
    memmb = math.floor((mem/1024) + 0.5)
    display.show(h, 2, "Memory free " .. mem .. " kb (" .. memmb .. " Mb)")
   
end

-- Adjust timing to taste: 500 = 1/2 second
event.timer(500, "mytimer")

 

Could somebody savvy with FSUIPC and LUA kindly add necessary lines to the above also to display number of AI aircraft currently in P3Dv4?

Thanks

PS: I'm on P3Dv4

I've moved your support request from the "User Contributions" subforum, which is a library repository for user contributions, to the correct Support Forum. Please always post support questions here if you want answers!

Since the "memory left" is useless in P3D4 why not just replace the offset (24C) read there by the one for the AI count (25C), also a "UD", and change the text label accordingly?

Will do that,

Thank you.

    display.show(h, 3, "AI Number " ..traff)

The above should work

Hmm unfortunately I don't get AI count in the display (second value). I still have Frame Rate indication but no AI count?

-- Create the display window for 2 values, position x=800, y=400
h = display.create("My next display", 2, 800, 400)


-- Update the display at 500 msec intervals (see event at end)
function mytimer(time)


    -- display 1 = frame rate
    fr = ipc.readUW(0x0274)
    if fr ~= 0 then fr = 32768/fr end
    fr = math.floor((fr * 10) + 0.5)/10
    display.show(h, 1, "Frame Rate " .. fr .. " fps")
   
    -- display 2 = number of AI
    traff = ipc.readUD(0x025C)
    display.show(h, 3, "AI Number " ..traff)
   
end


-- Adjust timing to taste: 500 = 1/2 second
event.timer(500, "mytimer")

What could be wrong there?

Win10, P3Dv4.1, FSUIPC v5.122a, MT6

WideClient v6.999z4 (Win7)

Thanks.

PS: Do I need to set anything special for that in FSUIPC?

Weird, I can get the number displayed to FS Title bar if I set up Logging accordingly, but it doesn't reach WideClient on the networked PC.

Thanks.

I've figured it out, there was an error, fixed!

-- display 2 = number of AI
    traff = ipc.readUD(0x025C)
    display.show(h, 2, "AI Number " ..traff)
