Please see the Advanced User guide for details. 3 hours ago, icebird4all said: Anyone knows how to get departure and destination airport data like ICAO, height... with fsuipc7 and MSFS? The destination airport ID should be available if you have a flight plan active in the GPS at offset 0x6137, but no other details (height, etc) are available, and there is no way to get the departure airport as far as I am aware, sorry.

icebird4all Posted October 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 in found this page: https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Content_Configuration/Flights_And_Missions/Flight_Definitions.htm - What will it tell us under: [ATC_ActiveFlightPlan.N] - should this be made in the future - or do we allready have it?

John Dowson Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 It should already be there - why don't you take a look at a saved flight file? There are also [Departure] and [Arrival] sections. I'm nor sure how this helps though... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebird4all Posted November 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hello John! Thx - i see - now i get my DEP - DEST information after saving my flightplan with pilot2atc - reading the latest file with lua and thats it! Another question - is there a possibility to show ° degree symbol with wnd.text? Klaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried just pasting the character into the string, e,g, wnd.text(wHandle, "Its " .. todaysTemp .. "° today.") Don't see why that won't work, it is just an an ascII character after all. Or am I missing something? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebird4all Posted November 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hello John! I tried to do it as you said - pasting it in - but its not showing - if i put it in between two ' ' it will show like this - with a space in between! i did this: wnd.text(wl, 11, "DEG: '°'") and it shows like this Klaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowson Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Then sorry, I don't know - looks like its not possible, I don't know why and don't have time to look at this. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
