FSUIPC Offsets in Air Manager

#1 Post by Stubenflieger »

Hello,

since unfortunately FSUIPC Offsets are not supported in Air Manager I wanted to ask if it is possinble to access the Offsets anyway.

I use JEEHELL FMGS and need a custon (not hardware) Panel in Air manager that controlls Jeehell's functionality. Since this software only uses Offsets I cannot simply access them in Air Manager.

is there anyhow a method to get offsets controlled and read by Air Manager?

An example for offsets:
Jeehell has Offset 78E8 which controls a lot of buttons in the A320 cockpit. EG it sets its own (internal codes not fs!!) chrono to start/stop the chrono by sending value 1 to 78E8

There is Offset 7393 which has to be read bitwise. If for example bit 6 is set the Autibrake ist set to LO

If I anyhow could access/read that offsets it would be great!

Thank you!

Best regards

Markus

Offset are basically the general Simconnect stuff, so you don't need it. Unless they made a dedicated/special plugin for this aircraft.

The problem is that I need them because they are the only way to control the software. Jeehell fmgs is not a plane. It is an external Avionics suite they simulates the systems of an a320. It has all display units as exe file that you can launch on any of in the network. So it is a homecockpit builders dream because it r dudes the workload of the FS pc and is great because it has all you need

The downside is that it does use offsets to be controlled. Not the general offsets but specific. For example one for all the MCDU inputs (all Buttons) or one (as described above ) for the Autobrake korry's lights .

So I need them to control the software and my homecockpit via air manager since I cannot rebuild any panel with hardware

Then they probably have a plugin made for it.
But in any case, no FSUIPC with Air Manager.

I know that but let me rephrase my question.

Is it possible somehow to translate an offset into something air manager can read or write?

I would like to code the brakes panel that way that I can use it

Thank you

Someone already made some technical arrangement around FSUIPC usable with Air Manager, I guess it's either @Detlef, or perhaps @simstrumentation, not sure though whom ...
I guess it can be found with a search here on the forums

It involves writing your own script in FSUIPC to translate the offset data into a custom LVAR that AM can interact with. It’s not elegant but it can work.

This issue Is not so much that Air Manager needs to read offsets as that is a FSUIPC thing more that AM could provide a way to access the same memory areas that the offsets do standalone from within AM. The SI will realise they need that if they want to complete their B737 as some stuff is in there only.

Thank you, so we are getting closer

Does anybody know what to do in fsuipc to provide Offsets data as Flights im Variable?

Thank you

Not sure if it was around AM instruments for PMDG, a search on the SI forums here may help a bit ...
