@J Dawson Thanks for your reply. I'm using that document as a reference.

It shows address and size but there's no info about type (int, string, etc..)

Other sources don't seem to give that info either.

I'm writing a client for Paul Henty's included websocket server which asks for a type when declaring an offset.

 // create the request object
        var request = {
            command: 'offsets.declare',
            name: 'myOffsets',
            offsets: [
                { name: 'altitude', address: 0x0570, type: 'int', size: 8 },
                { name: 'avionicsMaster', address: 0x2E80, type: 'uint', size: 4 },
                { name: 'heading', address: 0x0580, type: 'uint', size: 4 },
                { name: 'aircraftName', address: 0x3D00, type: 'string', size: 256 },
            ]
        }

        // send to the server as a JSON string
        if (ws) {
            ws.send(JSON.stringify(request));
        }

That is the definitive source for the MSFS variables, so use that... it gives the original variable type..

Which is why I don't in the documentation...!
