PMDG Offsets

[Goldmember]

What I wanted to do was use the A/T (Autothrottle) switch on the MCP through the Phidgets 0/0/4 to connect/dis-connect the servo's when the A/T is on/off

Could you point me in the direction what switch you would use for that? So a switch that flips back when you set a control signal on it?

Sorry haven't replied to your question, have been on holiday.

the switch I refer to is a physical switch on the MCP (CPC type).

Ok no problem. I thought you had such a switch but reading your post over, I realise you meant something else.

[Goldmember]

Because PMDG uses their own offsets for many things. The autobrake for instance doesn't work if you use $2F80. Also there are functions in PMDG which aren't available in FS9 anyway. AFDS, sixpack, things like that.

[Goldmember]

And what would that do?

Perhaps you've not looked at FSInterrogate?

Is there a function in FSInterrogate that monitors a range of addresses? For instance, if you take $6200 - $62FF (PMDG range or PM?) and just fiddle with some controls, that you would see what happens in that address range.

Hi guys,

I don't know if this has been posted before but here is the EFIS offsets for PMDG

Offset 6207

value 0 EFIS APP mode
value 1 EFIS VOR mode
value 2 EFIS MAP mode
value 3 EFIS PLN mode

To change these with SIOC you need to use CHANGEBIT command

offset 6208

Value 0 EFIS RANGE 5
Value 256 EFIS RANGE 10
Value 512 EFIS RANGE 20
Value 768 EFIS RANGE 40
Value 1024 EFIS RANGE 80
Value 1280 EFIS RANGE 160
Value 1536 EFIS RANGE 320
Value 1792 EFIS RANGE 640

offset 620b

AGAIN YOU HAVE TO USE CHANGEBIT

Bit 0 =1 EFIS TERR
Bit 1 =1 EFIS POS
Bit 2 =1 EFIS DATA
Bit 3 =1 EFIS ARPT
Bit 4 =1 EFIS WPT
Bit 5 =1 EFIS STA
Bit 6 =1 EFIS WXR

offset 6202

Bit11=1 EFIS MTRS button
Bit10=1 EFIS FPV button

offset 6201

Bit0 =1 BARO HP
Value=0 BARO inch

I hope it helps

Can you get any of this for the PMDG 747?

Technically yes. Since I really never used the airplane I can not work on it. But what you need to do is to download the FSUIPC SDK. Use the FSInterrogate program and try to extrcat these from there. It is a hard work but once you figure out you end up with golden opportunities for the home cockpit programming.

Hi,

iam trying to find out the offsets for the PMDG 737 Overhead light status.
I managed the Engine Antiice, Generator, etc. with the documented FSUIPC Offsets.
But i haven't succeeded from the Fuel switch lights, APU lights, etc.
How can i find them to enable and disable leds via SIOC and the correct offsets.

I hope someone can help me or give some hints on this.

Thanks alot.

Hi mark,
Dont wast your time looking for offsets for the PMDG Overhead.
there are none!
Ian at www.737ng.co.uk and a few other people have already trod this avenue.

I've been working on a solution to this problem and you can get the latest news on Ian Sissons news page at the above.
It is possible to get everything working on the PMDG Overhead
Including Power display EGT/APU gauge , fuel temp gauge , cabin air presure
+ the big diff presure gauge and of course all the anunciator lights
I'm taking a demo to FS weekend this November
have a look and let me know what you think
here is a little movie on youtube I made a while ago things have moved on
since this and I've got a lot more working.
