Dave March Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 With reference to an old post... ... and apologies if this has been readdressed since (but I couldn't find anything more) but today I thought I was having another senior moment. The offset 0x3C00 was once again only showing the path from \Simobjects and not the full path. So I restarted FS and tried again and this time 0x3C00 was now showing the full path. What the heck? Hitting Escape and returning to the main menu I changed aircraft and hit Fly Now, once at the departure airport I tried 0x3C00 again and whoa!!!! Only showing the path from \SimObjects. I recall last year when we were discussing this I thought Asobo were changing things on a daily basis because this reared its ugly head quite a few times but now I can recreate it. Don't know if this helps at all Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was documented in previous versions of the SDK documentation as to when a full path is given and when a partial path is given, but just checked in the latest documentation and couldn't find it (although its obviously the same - may be there somewhere....). I think, if I remember correctly, it depends on if the plane in question is a default (i.e. in all versions) or a protected (in deluxe and other versions, or an add-on), but not sure.... May also depend on when the event is sent... But, FSUIPC is just showing what MSFS is supplying, so there's not much I can do, sorry. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave March Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Thanks John... I didn't think there was much that could be done... at least I know the formats I'm likely to get so can work around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the partial path is partial from a folder whose name is not known and, as far as I know, not possible to derive. I did look at trying to convert partial paths to full paths, but gave up in the end as the information needed wasn't available (easily!). But I guess it depends on how or what you are doing with this.... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
