papanebo Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 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. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 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. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the value reporting correctly for aircraft with retractable gears? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, or at least it is in the Cessna Citation CJ4. I will report this. Later: reported.
