Play with GPS Offsets

[Frédéric-O DUCHEMIN]

Hi Paul,

I would like to print those offsets (P62/70)

6010
6018
6020
6030
6048
6078
6081
608C
6094
60A4
60E4
60E8
60EC
61A0

offsets but I have no idea what type of offset is (string, integer, Int32, Short, etc..)

  Dim gps_distance As Offset(Of Integer) = New Offset(Of Integer)(&H60EC)

for in the future don't ask how to declare offsets

this is for this topic :

Thanks

Regards Fred

Hi Fred,

There is a table in the UserGuide.pdf that tells you how to work out which VB Types to use. This is in the 2.4 download package found here:

http://forum.simflight.com/topic/74848-fsuipc-client-dll-for-net-version-24/

See page 6.

For the offsets you listed:

If they are 8 Bytes and the description says "floating point double" then declare them (Of Double).

If the description says string then declare as string and set the stated size: e.g. for 60A4:

Dim gps_nextWaypoint As Offset(Of String) = New Offset(Of String)(&H60A4, 6)

4 byte (32-bit) integers are (Of Integer).

2 byte (16-bit) Integers are (Of Short).
