FSUIPC7 Gear handle position offset

Good day to all.

In MSFS the gear handle position offset (0x0BE8) when using C172 (and i suspect in all aircraft with non retractable gear), is 0 on ground instead of 16383. Only if you take off and press the toggle gear button it changes to 16383 and stays that way.

Thanks.

Hi Nick,

yes, seems that way. However, you can check offset 060C (gear retractable flag), and if that's 0 then you can ignore 0x0BE8.

Thank you John.

 

So is this the correct behavior and won't change? If that's the case i will have to adjust our ACARS code for MSFS only 🙂 I'm asking cause in previous simulators offset 0BE8 was always 16383 in aircraft with no retractable gear.

Who knows! I could report this and it may get fixed, but if you check offset 060C first this should be valid for all flight sims, so it doesn't have to be specific for MSFS.

If you could report it, it would be great! It helps if the behavior is on par with the previous versions.

Does seem to be a bug, so it should be reported. Is the value reporting correctly for aircraft with retractable gears?
