Can't find offset for AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ACTIVE

[Mugz]

*** Moved from User Contributions sub-form to main support forum ***

There is only two offsets

AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE HOLD
AUTOPILOT APPROACH HOLD (look's like simvar: AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ARM)

 

but not find offset for SimVar: AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ACTIVE

this simvar is true when AP catch GS on final.

First, you posted in the User Contributions sub-forum, where it states NOT for support requests. I have moved your post for you, but please take care to post in the correct forum for future requests- either here or in the FSUIPC7 sub-forum for FSUIPC7/MSFS support requests,

This is not currently held in any offset. I can add this, but only for FSUIPC6 or FSUIPC7. Which version of FSUIPC are you using?
Are there any other simvars that I should look into adding at the same time (e.g. AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ARM, AUTOPILOT APPROACH CAPTURED, AUTOPILOT APPROACH ARM or AUTOPILOT APPROACH ACTIVE)?

All what i need:
- AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ARM
- AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE HOLD
- AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ACTIVE

Ok - I've moved this topic to the FSUIPC7 sub-forum.

Ok, I'll add the ARM and ACTIVE simvars - AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE HOLD is already available in offset 0x07FC, and post a new version for you to test, either later today or tomorrow.

Thanks!

@Mugz Before I add those new simvars, could you check offset 0C4C (Nav1 GlideSlope Flag), which should be TRUE if the GS is active, and false otherwise. Maybe also check the value in 0C4D.

Already checked 0C4C, but no luck. I dont have any changes when Localizer is captured. With 0C4D i dont know how to operate with flags

In lua, you can use the event.offsetmask function to trigger a function call when the required bit in the offset changes - see the FSUIPC Lua Library document for details in using this function.

In the attached version below, v7.2.1c, I have added the following simvars to offsets:
    - AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ARM at offset 0x0C7B as a 1 byte flag (unsigned byte)
    - AUTOPILOT GLIDESLOPE ACTIVE at offset 0x0C7C as a 1 byte flag (unsigned byte)
Please let me know if these are working or not, and for which a/c. Thanks,

John

Thank you very much! All work like a charm!
