offset to determine visibility layer count

[mer]

I noted that FSInterrogate has offsets for temperature/wind/cloud layer counts. Is there a dedicated offset that gives the number of visibility layers or should we determine this value based on one of the other counts?

 

Thank you

There is an offset for this. This is from newWeather.h:
 

    int nUpperVisCtr;           // C38C C78C CB8C CF8C // Number of upper Vis layer (new in FSX)
    NewVis UpperVis[12];        // C390 C790 CB90 CF90

 

Note that for visibility, the base (surface) layer is stored separately:

    NewVis Vis;                    // C02C C42C C82C CC2C // Base Vis

 

The intended purpose of FsInterrogate is to examine the contents of offsets. It should never be used to find out what offsets are available. Its list of offsets incomplete (it's 11 years old) and sometimes wrong. Always work from Pete's documentation (e.g. FSUIPC4 Offset Status.pdf, newWeather.h) instead.
