Can FSUIPC access iFly 737 Max SDK?

[idlebetazoid]

Hi all

I'm trying to access the IAS display on the iFly 737 max. There is presently no L:VAR but in the iFly SDK we do have the following:

    BYTE        SPD_100_Status;//0~9: '0'~'9', 10~13:not used, 14:blank

    BYTE        SPD_10_Status;//0~9: '0'~'9', 10~13:not used, 14:blank

    BYTE        SPD_1_Status;//0~9: '0'~'9', 10~13:not used, 14:blank

Which gives us each of the 3 numbers.

Any way we can get to these through FSUIPC?

I know we can get this kinda stuff from the PMDG SDKs.

 

Cheers!

There is currently no integration of the iFly SDK with FSUIPC7, so this information currently isn't available. How does the SDK make this information available?
The PMDG SDK makes the additional data available via client data areas, which FSUIPC reads to populate the offsets. I could possibly do something similar with iFly.

Do you have an SDK document available? If this looks feasible, I can contact iFly and go from there.

If possible, I am not sure when I will have time to look into this though, as MSFS2024 is in the horizon and I will be busy with this for a while...

Hello John

The SDK is here:

https://files.100megabyte.com/ifly/737MAX_MSFS_SDK_v1.1.rar

If we could access this via offsets à la PMDG that would be ideal.

Busy time for you!

Best

Not sure what that is, but its not an API that I can use. Looks to be an application of some sort, not an SDK, and it seems to use (or look for) an "iFly Plugin".

Thank you for checking John.

The files in the SDK folder (SDK.h, SDK_Defines.h) looked similar to the PMDG stuff but this is all well above my ability!

Good luck with FS2024 release

The SDK_Defines,h is interesting, and shows the aircraft doe supply additional information but through a shared memory block.
I could possibly look into accessing this and adding this to FSUIPC offsets. I will add it to my list to look into when I have more time, but I will also need to contact iFly for additional information on the SDK and for a license to implement this.

Not sure when I will have time for this at the moment though - maybe next year at some point...
