SIOC and Offset 023A

[Boeing 747 Flyer]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use Offset 023A (the Glideslope Indicator Needle) with little success.

The FSUIPC documentation states that it ranges from -127 to +127 (from up to down), however, the SIOC IOCPConsole sees the values going from +138 (top), to +254 (middle), then back to 0 and finishing at around 120 (bottom).

Does anyone know why this offset doesn't appear to give the values it should?

Cheers,

Jack

I think we may have been here before

Add type 1 to the glideslope offset definition and try that

Hello Jack

Are you sure that's the correct Offset?

Thank you David, I shall try the type 1 trick. We have have been here before but it was so long ago I can't remember! Did we get anywhere with this? I'm redesigning my HSI scripts because I've lost some of them on my hard drive.

@Perik - According to the FSUIPC SDK documentation, Offset 023A is the glideslope needle indicator. Should I be using a different offset?

I found it yesterday when trying to code sioc to drive the elevator trim servos

As you have in your own code from the link David supplied:

Var 53 link FSUIPC_IN Length 1 Offset $023A // seconds of FS time (0 - 59)

$023A seems to not have anything to do with the Glideslope as far as I can see but as usually I may be totally wrong

Hi Perik,

Yes the offset should be 049C.

On another note, can anyone tell me why this:

Var 0 Value 0
 {
   &control = 0
   &control = TIMER 1 0 5
 }


Var 15 name control Link SUBRUTINE

Does not start a Timer when SIOC is started?

Does not start a Timer when SIOC is started?

? does it not start?
It should start, see my example of: an endless Timer

this should work too:

&control = TIMER 100000 1 5

Hi Nico,

After compiling the script I go to IOCPConsole. The "control" variable does not count up.

Cheers,

Jack
