FSUIPC offset codes translated to Simconnect


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello there
I have "inherited" an old MobiFlight file which contained a FSUIPS setup using offset codes. I would now like to make a new mobiFlight using a Simconnect setup, and to do that I need to know which FSUIPS offset codes correspond to which Simconnect events. 

Example; the FSUIPS offset code 0X6541 correspond to a certain simconnect event, but which? Where di I find this information/translation?

Kind regards

Offset generally correspond (i.e. hold) sim variables. Writing to an offset can either update the variable directly, if it is settable/writeable, or can also trigger a corresponding event (if available). Offsets which hold a simvar that is not writeable and for which no relevant single event is available to update are generally not writeable.

Offset information is given in the Offset status document, under your Documents/FSUIPC7 folder. However, offset 0x6541 is in the PMDG data area. This means that this offset is read-only (all PMDG offsets are read-only), and it only holds data when a PMDG aircraft is loaded and depends upon the type of PMDG aircraft loaded - only 737, 747 and 777 supported (in P3D).
However, the PMDG offsets are currently not available (and I do not know if they ever will be) in FSUIPC7.
I have attached the PMDG offset documentation for FSUIPC6, so you can see what these offsets would hold if using FSUIPC6 with a PMDG aircraft.

Hello again

Thanks for the reply. I am actually working on a A320 project, and that is the offset codes that I am looking for.
It is a little strange that the offset code 0X6541 is a PMDG reference due to the project that I have "inherited" is from a A320 project and that is were I have the 0X6451 from 🙂

PMDG offsets are also 'free for general use' if not using the PMDG aircraft (and so always free for general use in FSUIPC7!).
Maybe the project you have inherited is populating that offset for its own use, or is being populated by other software (MobiFlight?).

I have now released a beta version of FSUIPC7 with the PMDG 737 offsets enabled and populated. Please see
