FSUIPC Status of IPC Offsets for P3Dv4 and P3Dv5

Applicable to FSUIPC6 version 6.0.10 (and later)

Key for status indications:

Items in blue are new to FSX, those in purple are specific to P3D4/5
Ok-SimC works okay using SimVars
Ok-PDK P3D4. Works using the P3D PDK.
Ok?-SimC was reported as working via SimVars but this was contradicted by other reports
Ok-SimC* more or less works using SimVars, but there are difficulties (explained in Notes)
Ok-SimE for write only, works okay, but resorting to Sim Events via SimC, not SimVar reads
or writes
Ok-Lvar Okay using gauge local variables (“L:variables”).
Ok-Intl works okay, is internal to FSUIPC in any case
Ok-Intl* more or less works using internal derivation, but there are difficulties (explained in
Notes)
Ok-Hack works by hooks or patches or other devilish means
?-Intl May work, untested, but FSUIPC internal in any case
?-SimC Mapped to SimConnect variables, but validity unknown. Needs checking and
feedback please
?-SimE Mostly for write only, mapped to Sim Event, but operation unknown. Needs
checking and feedback please
?? situation unknown – try it or wait for next issue
No-SimC Not working, awaiting fix in SimConnect
No-SimE Not working, Sim Event seems broken, needs fix in FSX?
No-SimC+ Not working, hoping for additions to SimConnect
No Not supported. (Appeals to Pete Dowson, with reasons, please)
Not yet Maybe can do okay, but not yet got around to it!
No info Data unknown, not listed for SimConnect. Not yet followed through
Not tested Maybe already okay, not tested yet
Maybe Question mark, see italic text in “use” section
Problem See italic text in “use” section
N/A Not applicable
Offset Size Use FS Read FS Write
0000 32 Reserved for diagnostics
0020 4 Ground altitude in Metres x 256. (see also offset 0B4C) Ok-SimC No
0024 256 READ: Zero terminated string giving the Start-Up situation or Ok-Intl No
flight name, including the path (complete, or from the FS folder)
WRITE: Operates a facility to “spoof” Flight Sim read-out No Ok-Intl
values as supplied to all FSUIPC and WideFS client
applications.
To use this, write the following to offset 0024, as one structure (i.e. one
FSUIPC_Write call):
struct {
WORD offset; // base offset of data to be overridden
WORD length; // length of data (max 252)
BYTE[ ] data; // Up to 252 bytes of data
};
The override is established the first time you do this for a specific offset
+ length combination. Any overlapping setting replaces the previous
one, but re-writing the same one with different data is fast as it merely
writes to the relevant offsets -- the FS data is already being diverted.
Cancel the overrides by writing the same with no data and a length of 0.
If you don't cancel, but don't update, the override will be cancelled after
about 12 seconds (not counting Menu time). Avoid letting this happen,
though -- always explicitly cancel when finishing.
Note that not all FSX values can be overridden in this way, and none of
the normal FSUIPC values can be permanently overridden. However,
this facility does provide direct access to ALL offsets, and you can
easily wreck things and ruin someone's day! Those which are normally
write-protected are not so protected using this facility.
The “Liar.lua” plug-in supplied with the Lua additions demonstrates this
facility, and also shows the only way provided of reading the un-
spoofed values: a privilege afforded only to the Lua ipc.readStruct
facility in the Lua program which actually applies the overrides too.
012C 1 The name of the current Log book—not available in FSX No No
0130 256 The current flight Plan path & file name (in UNC format if Ok-SimC Ok-SimC
WideFS is in use). This can be written to to load a flight. But
note that this normally loads the newer fxml format flights only.
With FSUIPC5, to load an FS9 format .flt file use the full
filename including the .flt, but follow this with another .flt (i.e.
“name.flt.flt”). The extra one will be stripped off leaving the
correct name.

0498 above.
2^0 = 1 to disconnect aileron trim (2EB0) from FS
2^1 = 1 to disconnect rudder trim (2EC0) from FS
This byte will be cleared and the connection restored (together
with the most recent axis values) within about 10 seconds of it
being written non-zero, so you need to write this every few
seconds.

0558 4 INITIAL POSITION: Airspeed setting. N/A Ok-SimC

Write the desired airspeed here (in knots), along with, in the
same IPC write, those of the following fields (on-ground,
LLAPBH – Lat/Lon/Alt/Pitch/Bank/Hdg) which you need to set.
FSUIPC4 will use the INITIAL POSITION facility in FSX to
 place your aircraft and set the speed.

To set the speed at the current position (but not on ground), just
write this offset and FSUIPC4 will use the following values as
they currently stand.
055C 4 INITIAL POSITION: On-ground setting. N/A Ok-SimC

Write 0 for in-flight or 1 for on-ground here, along with, in the

same IPC write, those of the following fields (LLAPBH –
Lat/Lon/Alt/Pitch/Bank/Hdg) which you need to set. FSUIPC4
will use the INITIAL POSITION facility in FSX to place your
aircraft. It will set the speed to 0 if the on-ground value is non-
zero, but otherwise it will use the current airspeed from 02BC.
0560 8 Latitude of aircraft in FS units. Ok-SimC Ok-SimC
(Read offset 6010 for easier conversion!)
To convert to Degrees:
If your compiler supports long long (64-bit) integers then use
such a variable to simply copy this 64-bit value into a double
floating point variable and multiply by 90.0/(10001750.0 *
65536.0 * 65536.0).
Otherwise you will have to handle the high 32-bits and the low
32-bits separately, combining them into one double floating
point value (say dHi). To do, copy the high part (the 32-bit int at
0564) to one double and the low part (the 32-bit unsigned int at
0560) to another (say dLo). Remember that the low part is only
part of a bigger number, so doesn’t have a sign of its own.
Divide dLo by (65536.0 * 65536.0) to give it its proper
magnitude compared to the high part, then either add it to or
subtract it from dHi according to whether dHi is positive or
negative. This preserves the integrity of the original positive or
negative number. Finally multiply the result by 90.0/10001750.0
to get degrees.
Either way, a negative result is South, positive North.
[Can be written to move aircraft]
0568 8 Longitude of aircraft in FS format. Ok-SimC Ok-SimC
(Read offset 6018 for easier conversion!)
To convert to Degrees:
If your compiler supports long long (64-bit) integers then use
such a variable to simply copy this 64-bit value into a double
floating point variable and multiply by 360.0/(65536.0 * 65536.0
* 65536.0 * 65536.0).
Otherwise you will have to handle the high 32-bits and the low
32-bits separately, combining them into one double floating
point value (say dHi). To do, copy the high part (the 32-bit int at
056C) to one double and the low part (the 32-bit unsigned int at
0568) to another (say dLo). Remember that the low part is only
part of a bigger number, so doesn’t have a sign of its own.
Divide dLo by (65536.0 * 65536.0) to give it its proper
magnitude compared to the high part, then either add it to or
subtract it from dHi according to whether dHi is positive or
negative. This preserves the integrity of the original positive or

Either way, a negative result is West, positive East. If you did it
all unsigned then values over 180.0 represent West longitudes of

0658 120 This area provides a table of data about the 6 nearest airports to Intl N/A
the user aircraft, in order nearest to furthest.

This works properly in FSX with Acceleration, and should work

okay in SP2 versions. It should also work in P3D. 1.4.
Each entry is 20 bytes long, consisting of 4 fields as follows:
0 4 bytes ICAO ID of the airport. If this is 3 characters only
 the 4th will be zero.
4 4 bytes Latitude of the airport, in degrees, as a 32-bit
Float (N positive, S negative).
8 4 bytes Longitude of the airport, in degrees, as a 32-bit
Float (E positive, W negative).
12 4 bytes Altitude of the airport, in feet, as a 32-bit Float.
16 4 bytes Distance from the user aircraft, in nm.
It is only updated when the user aircraft's Latitude or Longitude
change by one minute or more. If there are less than 6 airports
within the current "reality bubble" the unused entries will be all
zero.

level of braking directly. The only way to influence it is to send
Rotor Brake controls. In an attempt to achieve the written value,
FSUIPC4 send Rotor Brake controls to FSX on every FS frame
whilst the read-out for the rotor braking value is less than that
last written to 0822. There is an exception—if the read-out
remains zero for 4 such attempts, the written value is reset to
zero too. This is to infallibly cope with aircraft with no
implemented rotor brake, avoiding continuous useless control
applications..
This was intended to achieve the result of a sustained brake
pressure oscillating close to the value being written, but
unfortunately the Rotor Brake control imposes immediate
maximum brake pressure but with a fast reduction. The result,
therefore, is an oscillation between maximum and just under the
requested value.

0D6C 4 Parameter associated with any Macro, Lua or L:Var request sent N/A Ok-Intl
to the following offset (0D70)
0D70 128 Macros and Lua requests N/A Ok-Intl

Write here the complete identity string of a Macro control or Lua

program control in order to have FSUIPC execute it.
For a Macro, the string should begin with up to 16 characters
giving the .MCRO file name (just the name part, not the type),
and then, separated by a ‘:’ character, the macro name within
that file—again, up to 16 characters. Spaces either side of the ‘:’
are optional.
For a Lua program operation, the actual Lua control should be
provided, followed (with one space or ‘:’ separator) by the Lua
program name (without the .Lua suffix). The valid Lua controls
are:
Lua, LuaDebug, LuaKill, LuaSet, LuaClear, LuaToggle
Note that a parameter should always be written first for the Set,
Clear and Toggle controls as this specifies the flag to be changed
(0–31). A parameter is never used with “Lua Kill”.
If a parameter is to be supplied, it should first be written to offset
0D6C, above. Otherwise whatever was last written there will be
supplied.
 L:Var read, write and create requests
First write the offset address to which the resulting value (an 8-
byte double or FLT64) will be written (for a Read) or the value
to be written can be found (for a Write and Create). This MUST
be one of the user offsets, i.e. in the range 0x66C0 to 0x66F8 (or
up to 0x66FF depending on the next setting).
This offset value only occupies the low 16-bits (LOWORD) of
the 32-bit value. The high part specifies the value format.
Assuming the offset is ‘nnnn’, the options are:
0x0nnnn for 64-bit double (as before)
0x1nnnn for 32-bit float (FLT)
0x2nnnn for 32-bit signed integer (SD)
0x3nnnn for 32-bit unsigned integer (UD)
0x4nnnn for 16-bit signed integer (SW)

With reads into a fixed point value (the last 6 above), the floating
point value provided from the Gauge system is rounded to the
nearest integer (up for positive numbers, down for negative).
Then write to 0D70 the name of the LVar, preceded by just one :
(colon) character for a read, :: (two colons) for a write, and :::
(three colons) for a create (and initialise). It should also be
terminated by a zero byte.
The reason for the use of user offsets is to avoid corruption when
more than one application is running which reads L:Vars in this
way. It is a matter for the programs, probably with user
cooperation, to avoid clashes. Both 0D6C and 0D70 can be
written together or at least in one Process call, and the result of a
read can be read immediately, even in the same Process call. For
a write the value to be written can be placed in the stated offset
in the same Process call too, provided it is before the writes to
0D6C and 0D70.
If the Lvar does not currently exist the result of a read will be
0.0. There’s no way to detect if a write/create succeeded other
than to read the L:var afterwards.
If the offset provided is invalid the request is just ignored and
the offset value unchanged.

This was previously the Path and Filename reading facility, as
follows, for reading into offset 1000 one of::
1. The default Flight path
2. The AI traffic pathname for a specified AI aircraft (see
parameter) [FS2004 only]
3. The filename (no path) of the last saved Flight (FLT)
file.
However, since version 3.47 of FSUIPC, the filename of the last
saved flight has been readable directly at offset 0400. So it really
isn’t needed here with a complex protocol, and at present there
are no plans to support the AI traffic pathname option in FSX or
beyond (though if it requested I would look at placing it
elsewhere).
So, there’s only one use for the area at 1000 now and that is as
shown below. Consequently, for compatibility, FSUIPC will
now always set 0FF0 to zero and continually change the

11BE 2 Angle of Attack Indicator angle, with 360 degrees = 65536. The Ok-SimC No
value 32767 is 180 degrees Angle of Attack. The angle is
expressed in the usual FS 16-bit angle units (360 degrees =
65536), with 180 degrees pointing to the 0.0 position (right and
down about 35 degrees in a Boeing type AofA indicator). Note
that the indicator angle actually decreases as the wing AofA
increases.

The FS9 and earlier interpretation was documented as a relative

value, giving in %*32767 the difference between the current
AofA and the maximum angle of attack for the current aircraft,

Really this revised understanding does not conflict with this, as

the indicator would presumably vary from aircraft ot aircraft in
any case.

1F80 40 N/A Ok-Intl
Write-only area for a TCAS_DATA structure, used to add
entries to the TCAS data tables (but NOT to create AI aircraft,
please note!). The 40-byte format is as for the TCAS_DATA
structure (see offset F080). You need to write it all as one
FSUIPC_Write block. You cannot read back what you have
 written here.
You can add more writes to the same (or other) offsets before
actually sending them (e.g. via FSUIPC_Process). The only
important thing is that the whole TCAS_DATA structure is
written in one block, with the length obviously set to 40.
The data this structure should contain is as follows:
id Any id number UNIQUE to all aircraft you supply. It
does not have to be unique to the AI aircraft. FSUIPC
keeps an internal flag to distinguish the two types.
[Note that if in the future this field is re-used for other
indications, FSUIPC may have to adjust the value
supplied].
lat, lon, alt, hdg, gs, vs, com1
As possible: all would be good, but obviously a
minimum of lat/lon/alt.
idATC Any string of up to 14, plus a zero terminator, to
identify the aircraft. This doesn't need to be unique but
it could be rather confusing to the user if it isn't.
To erase an aircraft provide the specific id for that entry, and set
the idATC field to null (i.e. zero length string, just a zero).
In any case, FSUIPC will automatically erase any externally
supplied aircraft after about 8–12 seconds if it receives no
further updates in that time. Even if the aircraft is static you'll
need to supply updates for it regularly.
Apart from the user-adjustable range, which is applied, FSUIPC
is not performing any filtering for these aircraft—i.e. you can
include aircraft on the ground if required. However, once the
airborne TCAS table is full (current capacity 96) whether with
AI aircraft, MP aircraft, or a mixture, no others will be accepted
until slots become free. So in this sense slot management is up to
you.

(part
together to send an FS control to a specific AI aircraft. The
hacked)
values needed are:
Bytes 0–3: Aircraft Id (from the TCAS table)
Bytes 4–7: The FS Control (see published lists)
Bytes 8–11: A parameter for the control, if needed
Note that most of the many hundreds of FS controls will have no
noticeable affect on the AI aircraft. Experimentation is needed. If
folks find out what does what, please let me know and I’ll try to
publish a collated guide as an appendix later.
Note that you can write these values in separate FSUIPC Writes,
but if you do the ID must be last, as it is only when this is written
that the control is activated.
The special control value 0xFFFF (65535) is supported as a
request to delete the specified aircraft. (This currently uses a
hack into the FS code).
290C 4 Number of Hot Joystick Button slots available for Application Ok-Intl N/A
Programs to use. Currently this is fixed at 56, representing the 56
DWORDs available in the following offsets:
2910 224 56 DWORDs containing zero (when free for use), or a Hot Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
Joystick Button specification. See also 32FF below.

This “HOT BUTTON” facility allows programs to detect

selected joystick button presses. This facility is very similar to
the Hot Key system described for offset 3210. Up to 56 such hot
buttons can be specified, but this number is shared by all running
applications. The facility operates using these offsets:
56 32-bit values (“DWORDs”) from 0ffset 0x2910 onwards (i.e.
0x2910, 0x2914 ...) are ‘slots’ for Applications to specify Hot
Keys. These will be zero initially, and zero if free. The
application must search through to find an empty slot, then set
this into it:
Byte 0 (bits 0-7): Joystick number (0-15) + 128. In other words
128 for Joystick 0, 129 for joystick 1, etc.
Joysticks are numbered from 0. (Note that Windows
‘Game Controllers’ numbers from 1).
Byte 1 (bits 8-15): Button number (0-39)
Again buttons are numbered here from 0. Buttons 0–31 are
the normal buttons, numbers 32–39 are a representation of
the 8 “Points of View” at 45 degree angles supported by
some joystick drivers for the POV Hats.
 Byte 2 (bits 16-23): Flags from application.
This byte indicates which change is to be notified:
= 0 for Off to On
= 1 for On to Off
= 2 for both Off to On and On to Off
= 3 for Off to On but repeating about 6 times per
second whilst it is on.
Byte 3 (bits 24-31): Flags from FSUIPC.
Bit 0 (value 1) is set when the specified Hot Button change
occurs. Needs to be cleared by Application when
seen so it can detect another. (No queuing).
Bit 1 (value 2) is set when bit 0 is set only if the button is
still pressed. This can be used to differentiate the two
events when Byte 2 is given as “2” for both off–on
and on–off events.
Note: If the same Hot button is listed more than once (for
instance by several applications), every copy for the same Hot
button will get the flag set.
Use: Having found an empty slot, write the above value into it,
then monitor the highest byte of that same slot for Non-Zero.
That's the button event. Clear that byte to detect it again. If you
register several HotKey Buttons it will be more efficient to only
scan the slots themselves when a hot button actually occurs. To
detect this, just monitor the one byte at offset 32FF. (This can be
paired with 32FE to scan for buttons and keys). When it changes,
read and check the flags in your slots. (The count at 32FF may
change without any of your buttons occurring, of course, if other
applications are trapping other hot buttons).
When finished, and certainly before exit, be sure to clear the
whole DWORD to zero so other applications can use it. If you
only want to use joystick buttons for a certain part of the
operation of your program, only set the entries there and clear
them when done.
Note that if several applications want the same button, they will
all get it. Of course, your application can check through the
whole list to make sure there are no clashes/duplicates and warn
the user if so. You might have to do that at intervals in case a
clashing application is loaded after yours.
This system will work through WideFS with no problems too.
29F0 4 This DWORD provides a facility to set, clear or toggle any of
the virtual buttons at offset 3340 without needing to read
anything first. To do this, write to offset 29F0 a 32-bit value (4
bytes) made up as follows:
Byte 0: Button Number on Joystick (0 - 31)
Byte 1: Virtual Joystick Number (64 - 72)
Byte 2: Action:
0 = Toggle
1 = Set (Press/On)
2 = Clear (Release/Off).

FS “Add-Ons” menu access for Applications: This facility (see notes)
allows an application to add an entry to the Add-Ons menu. The
Application finds a free Hot Key slot, then sets it up to receive
notification on menu access, and writes the text needed for the
menu item to another location. When the menu item is selected,
the flag in the hot key slot is set just as when a hot key is used.
This way of accessing the menu has the advantage that it will
also work when the application is running on another PC, via
WideFS. Of course, any response to that menu selection will
occur on whichever PC the application is running.
To avoid having menu items relating to applications that have
crashed or terminated without tidying up correctly, each menu
item added is subjected to a time-out. Applications have to
refresh a count in the Hot Key slot at regular intervals (10
seconds or less) otherwise the menu item is deleted and the Hot
Key slot freed. The time-out is suspended when FS is paused,
and there is an option to have FS pause automatically when the
menu entry is selected.
Note that FS subjects the nuber of entries in the Add-Ons menu
to a maximum of 16. FSUIPC is already using one for itself. If
the maximum is already reached your entry will simply not
appear. There is no error indication of this provided back to the
Application, though a SimConnect exception may appear in the
FSUIPC Log file if exception logging is enabled.
This is the way this facility is used:
1. Find a free Hot Key slot (i.e. search the 56 DWORDs at
offset 0x3210 for a zero value). Say slot I is the one found.
2. Write 0x0000FFFF to the slot (i.e to the DWORD at offset
0x3210 + 4*I). If you want FS to pause when the menu item
is selected, write 0x0002FFFF instead. The 02 part is the
flag indicating that a pause is required.
3. Write the text for the menu entry required to offset 0x2FE0,
with the first byte set to the slot number (I). For example,
for an entry “UIPC Hello” (H being the shortcut) you would
set the string to be written to 0x2FE0 as follows:
static chMenuEntry[] = “?UIPC &Hello”;
chMenuEntry[0] = I;
4. The ‘&’ in the string tells Windows which character to
underscore, and this denotes the shortcut key, but this is
optional.
5. The string is limited to 31 characters, including the slot
number at the beginning, plus a zero terminator. In other
words the offset range is 0x2FE0–0x2FFF inclusive. This
area is “write only”. Don’t expect to be able to read back
what you write here.
6. The write to 0x2FE0 triggers FSUIPC into asking FS to add
the menu entry to the Add-Ons main menu item, but this is
dependent upon the slot it references being set with 0xFF in
 its first (least significant) byte. From the moment the slot is
set with 0xFF there it is changed every 55 mSecs or so,
unless FS is paused or in a dialogue. The change is a
decrement of the next byte in the slot—the other one you
also set to 0xFF. When this reaches zero, the menu entry is
removed and the slot is cleared. This gives a maximum
timeout of 255 x 55mSecs, or about 14 seconds. You can
make it less, of course, by initialising that byte to a lower
value than 0xFF (255), but I’d recommend sticking to the
maximum.
This means that if you want the menu entry to stay available
you must write 0xFF (or whatever) to that byte (i.e. the slot
offset + 1) at regular intervals, say every 10 seconds. The 4
second leeway allows some safety, but you may want more
—very little FS overhead is caused by writing that one byte
every 1 second if you need to, but this is really over the top.
More overhead is caused by writes when running on another
PC using WideFS, so I would suggest 5 seconds as a
minimum.
7. When the user selects your menu entry, FSUIPC will set the
2^0 (0x01) bit in the top byte (offset+3) in your slot. Just as
with Hot Keys, you need to be looking for this at regular
intervals, perhaps every 200 milliseconds or so. Frequent
reads pose little overhead for WideFS use, but very frequent
ones should really be avoided when you are running on the
FS PC.
8. After processing the user request, whatever it is, don’t forget
to clear the indicator so you can detect the next one—
writing zero to the byte at the offset+3 is all that is needed.
9. Finally, if you opted for FS to pause when the menu item is
selected you need to unpause FS so that it can continue.
Write zero to the 16-bit value at offset 0x262.
When you no longer need the menu entry, or just before
terminating your program, you should write zero to the DWORD
Hot Key slot. This will make FSUIPC remove the menu entry
immediately. If your program does not tidy up the entry will be
removed on the timeout.
Adding submenu entries to your menu entry:
[Not available in FSUIPC3]
Having already setup the main menu, as above, write this, in one
write, to 0x2FE0:
Byte 0: 0x80 + slot number of main entry, as before
(i.e. 0 for 3210, 1 for 3214 etc. Remember the
max is 55, there being 56 slots).
Byte 1: Response value (any non-zero value 1 - 255).
This is merely a value for you to test so you
know which submenu was selected.
Bytes 2-31 The zero-terminated string for the submenu
entry.
There's a limit of 16 submenus per menu entry (imposed by
SimConnect), and there are no further sub-levels.
When the user selects the submenu FSUIPC will fill in byte 3 of
the slot with the "Response value" provided. Naturally you don't
get notified when the main menu entry is selected when there
are submenus.
 You can remove a submenu by doing the same as above but
with a null string for the submenu entry (i.e. a single zero byte).

3109 1 This is a bit-oriented control flag byte. These bits are allocated N/A ?-Intl
so far:

2^0 (1) = 1 to disable AxisCalibration even if enabled in

FSUIPC.INI. Note that this “AxisCalibration” is the one
specifically concerned with direct offset values—see the
Advanced User’s guide for the description of the INI parameter
for more details.

2^1 (2) = 1 to allow the older (FS98-compatible) axis controls to

remain connected even when the main axis controls are
disconnected via bits in 310A and 310B below. These are
AILERON_SET, ELEVATOR_SET, ELEVATOR_TRIM_SET,
RUDDER_SET, THROTTLE_SET and the four THROTTLEn_SET
controls. Allowing these through will let autopilot of FBW
programs control the relevant values without writing direct to the
appropriate offsets, but take care also that the THROTTLEn_SET
controls aren’t being claibrated in the user’s 4-throttle option
(page 3 in FSUIPC options).

2^7(128) is reserved for external applications to use as they

wish.

In order to protect the user from a broken or crashed application,

the 2^1 flag is cleared 10 seconds after it has been set, so
applications will need to repeat the setting every few seconds.
310A 1 Controls the joystick connection to the main flight controls. N/A ?-Intl
Normally all zero, set the following bits to actually disconnect
the specific joystick axes (from least significant bit = 0):
0 Elevator
1 Aileron
2 Rudder
3 Throttles (all).
4 See below (throttle sync control)
5 Elevator trim
6 Throttle #1
 7 Throttle #2 (see next byte for others)

This feature is intended for use in protecting autopilot flight

from interference from axis flutter. In order to protect the user
from a broken or crashed application, all the flags are cleared 10
seconds after they have been set, so applications will need to
repeat the setting every few seconds.

If the user option is set to automatically disconnect the trim axis

in FS A/P vertical modes, the disconnection of Elevator inputs
via bit 0 above also disconnects Trim even if bit 5 is not also set.
This allows existing A/P or fly-by-wire applications to work
with those user implementations using a trim axis.

Additionally, bit 2^4 is available to switch “throttle sync” on. In

this mode all throttles are driven from the main throttle or
throttle 1 inputs, and other throttle inputs are discarded. (The
same option can also be used from an optional Hot Key).

See also offset 3109 above, and also offsets 3328–3339, which
provide the live axis values, post calibration. These would have
been applied to FS if not prevented by the flags above.
Applications can use these facilities to provide a responsive “fly-
by-wire” control.
310B 1 Controls the joystick connection to the slewing controls, and the N/A ?-Intl

4 Slew Bank
5 Slew Pitch
6 Throttle #3 (see previous byte for #1, #2)
7 Throttle #4
In order to protect the user from a broken or crashed application,
all the flags are cleared 10 seconds after they have been set, so
applications will need to repeat the setting every few seconds.

310C 4 Reserved
3110 8 Operates a facility to send any ‘controls’ to Flight simulator. N/A Ok-Intl
This works with all versions of FS & CFS. Write all 8 bytes for
controls which use a value (axes and all _SET controls), but just
4 will do for ‘button’ types.

This is really two 32-bit integers. The first contains the Control
number (normally 65536 upwards), as seen in my FS Controls
lists. The second integer is used for the parameter, such as the
scaled axis value, where this is appropriate. Always write all 8
bytes in one IPC block if a parameter is used, as FSUIPC will
fire the control when you write to 3110.

Since version 3.40, FSUIPC-added controls (other than the offset

ones) can be used via these offsets too. See the Advanced User’s
Guide for a current list.

point format (FLOAT64).
31B8 8 Yaw velocity in rads/sec relative to world axes in double floating Ok-SimC No
point format (FLOAT64).
31C0 8 X (lateral, or left/right) acceleration in ft/sec/sec relative to the ?-SimC ?-SimC

31C8 8 Y (vertical, or up/down) acceleration in ft/sec/sec relative to the ?-SimC ?-SimC
world axes in double floating point format (FLOAT64).
31D0 8 Z (longitudinal, or forward/backward) acceleration in ft/sec/sec ?-SimC ?-SimC
relative to the world axes in double floating point format
(FLOAT64).
31D8 2 Slew mode longitudinal axis (i.e. forward/backward) input value, ?-Intl N/A
post calibration, just before being applied to the simulation (if
allowed to by the byte at offset 310B)
31DA 2 Slew mode lateral axis (i.e. left/right) input value, post ?-Intl N/A
calibration, just before being applied to the simulation (if
allowed to by the byte at offset 310B)
31DC 2 Slew mode yaw axis (i.e. heading) input value, post calibration, ?-Intl N/A
just before being applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the
byte at offset 310B)

calibration, just before being applied to the simulation (if
allowed to by the byte at offset 310B)
31E0 2 Slew mode roll axis (i.e. bank) input value, post calibration, just ?-Intl N/A
before being applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte
at offset 310B)

31E4 4 Radio altitude in metres * 65536 Ok-SimC No
31E8 4 Surface type as a 32-bit integer. I think this only applies when ?-SimC No
the aircraft is on the ground. The values probably correspond to
the surface encoding in the scenery files, thus:
CONCRETE 0

31EC 4 Surface condition as a 32-bit integer, probably as follows: No-SimC+ No
NORMAL 0
WET 1
ICY 2
SNOW 3 SNOW ON A NON-SNOW SURFACE
31F0 4 Pushback status OK-SimC N/A
3=off, 0=pushing back, 1=pushing back, tail to swing to left
(port), 2=pushing back, tail to swing to right (starboard)
31F4 4 Pushback control. Write 0–3 here to set pushback operation, as N/A OK-SimE
described for the status, above.
31F8 4 Tug Heading control, for gliders I assume. [write only]. The N/A ?-SimE
units appear to be the same as the aircraft heading units (see
offset 0580).
31FC 4 Tug Speed control, for gliders I assume. [write-only]. Units not N/A ?-SimE
confirmed, but possible ft/sec.
3200 12 These locations operate the FSUIPC facility to send keystrokes N/A ?-Intl
to FS. For this to operate correctly the PC must be using
Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP or Vista. The facilities used just do
not exist in Windows 95 or NT.
3200 message (WM_KEYDOWN or WM_KEYUP)
3204 wParam for the message
3208 lParam for the message
All 12 bytes must be written in one IPC write.
320C 4 Number of Hot Key slots available for Application Programs to Ok-Intl N/A
use. Currently this is fixed at 56, representing the 56 DWORDs
available in the following offsets:
3210 224 56 DWORDs containing zero (when free for use), or a Hot Key Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
specification. See also 32FE below.
Note that although up to 56 such hot keys can be specified, but
this number is shared by all running applications. However, an
extra key pressed before the main hotkey is released can be
requested and supplied, multiplying the number of possibilities
immensely without needing many slots.
The facility operates using 56 32-bit values (“DWORDs”) from
offset 0x3210 onwards (i.e. 0x3210, 0x3214 ...). Each of these is
a ‘slot’ for Applications to specify Hot Keys. These will be zero
initially, and zero if free. The application must search through to
find an empty slot, then set this into it:
Byte 0 (bits 0-7): Virtual Keycode (see the list in my FS
Controls documents or the FSUIPC Advanced Users
Guide).
Byte 1 (bits 8-15): Shift state indicator
Bit 0, the least significant, = shift
Bit 1= ctrl
Bit 2= alt (but use of alt strongly discouraged, see Note 1)
Bit 3= “expect another keypress”. If this bit is set then
when the Hot Key is detected FSUIPC waits for the
KEYUP or another key press first. The virtual
keycode for that keypress is then returned in Byte 3,
 below.
Bit 4= tab (provided as an extra “shift”, for more key press
flexibility)
Byte 2 (bits 16-23): Flags from application.
Bit 0 (1)=reserved. This was originally used to control the
next option, but it was implemented incorrectly in
FSUIPC, so now, to avoid problems, the bit is
deliberately ignored.
Bit 1 (2)= set if Hot Key should be passed through to FS,
else it will be trapped. See Notes 1 & 2.
Byte 3 (bits 24-31): Flags or results from FSUIPC.
This byte needs to be cleared by the application so that it
can detect when the Hot Key occurs. There is no queuing.
If the Hot Key alone is seen, this byte is set to 1. If bit 3
was set in Byte 1 above and another key was pressed
before the hotkey was released, then the virtual keycode
for the extra key (2–255) is provided here.
Note 1: ALT key combinations are not a good idea, and cannot
be stopped from passing to FS. You can get them, but FS will
open the menu in any case.
Note 2: If the same Hot key is listed more than once (for
instance by several applications), every copy for the same Hot
Key will get the flag set, irrespective of the pass-through option.
The option only applies to finally passing it to FS. If any one Hot
Key user says that the key is not to be passed to FS (i.e. by
leaving Flag Bit 1 unset), then it isn’t passed through.
Note 3: FSUIPC hotkeys, allocated in its “HotKeys” page, take
precedence and are not passed through to applications or FS.
Use: Having found an empty slot, write the above value into it,
then monitor the highest byte of that same slot for Non-Zero.
That's the keystroke. Clear that byte to detect it again. If you
register several Hot Keys it will be more efficient to only scan
the slots themselves when a hot key actually occurs. To detect
this, simply monitor the one byte at offset 32FE (this can be
paired with 32FF to scan for keys and buttons together). When it
changes, read and check the flags in your slots. (The count at
32FE may change without any of your keys occurring, of course,
if other applications are trapping other hot keys).
When finished, and certainly before exit, be sure to clear the
whole DWORD to zero so other applications can use it. If you
only want to use keystrokes for a certain part of the operation of
your program, only set the entries there and clear them when
done.
Note that if several applications want the same keystroke, they
will all get it. Of course, your application can check through the
whole list to make sure there are no clashes/duplicates and warn
the user if so. You might have to do that at intervals in case a
clashing application is loaded after yours.

This system will work through WideFS with no problems too.

Add-Ons menu access for Applications: See offset 2FE0.

32F0 4 This DWORD controls some protected mode facilities in Not yet Not yet
FSUIPC, designed to set known conditions in FSUIPC and
prevent access to specific menus, whilst an application is
running. Support in FSX not planned yet, and not assured.
32F4 2 The 16-bit ID of the last menu command item accessed in FS. No No
Not planned for FSX.
32F6 2 FSUIPC selected technical option inhibits. Not yet Not yet

Set bits here to turn off specific options and prevent the user
turning them back on, for a limited time (max 14 seconds). To
keep options turned off you need to write this mask at regular
intervals (e.g. every 5 seconds).

Note that this is not obeyed if the user has selected to option to
disallow all external control of his options. If he has done this,
you can detect it by reading this location back within the time
limit. If it is zero, not the value written, then the user is
preventing your control over his settings.

Bits allocated are as follows (bit 0 = 2^0 bit), but support for
most of these isn’t planned for FSX at present in any case.

0 Reverse elevator trim sense

1 Fix control accelerations
2 Rudder spike elimination
3 Elevator spike elimination
4 Aileron spike elimination
5 Autopilot altitude fix (enable V/S sign corrn.)
6 Extend battery life
7 FS clock seconds sync
32F8 1 This provides options to inhibit certain aircraft operations, for Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
use in breakdown or precise control implementations. Set
individual bits for individual subsystems. Currently the
following are available, all related to hydraulic power:

2^0 Set to inhibit flap operation

2^1 Set to inhibit spoiler operation
2^2 Set to inhibit gear operation
2^3 reserved
2^4 Set to inhibit Engine #1 reverser
2^5 Set to inhibit Engine #2 reverser
2^6 Set to inhibit Engine #3 reverser
2^7 Set to inhibit Engine #4 reverser
Note that these stop operation from axis and button controls very
well, and also from key presses and mouse clicks—but in these
latter two cases it is done by detecting a change in the system
and changing it back. This works, but the device will sometimes
try to move, and this can be noticeable, especially for some
reason with the flaps—the indicator gives a little jump and the
noise briefly starts.
32F9 1 Brakes being used flag. This is non-zero if the user has pressed Ok-Intl N/A
the brakes (left, right or both) recently. It stays non-zero for a
second after the last brake control or significant axis increase
seen. It does not stay set for continued constant brake pressure
via the axis inputs. It operates also for increasing values written
to offset 0C00 or 0C01.
32FA 2 Text display control word. You can display messages from an N/A Ok-SimC
(multiline
external program just like an Adventure. Write the message as a window still
zero-terminated string to offset 3380 (see below), subject to the Internal, via
maximum of 128 characters including the zero terminator, then hack)
write a number to this offset, 32FA, as follows:

0 display till replaced

+n display for n seconds, or until replaced
–1 display and scroll, or until replaced
–n display and scroll, or for n seconds,
 or until replaced

In the last two cases, whether the message scrolls or not depends
upon the setting of the “Options—Settings—General—Text
Display” option (?). The time limit only applies when scrolling is
off, otherwise the message simply expires when fully scrolled
off the screen.
32FC 2 AIR file change counter (incremented by FSUIPC whenever the Ok-Intl N/A
AIR file as defined at offset 3C00 changes).

This is also incremented when the FS control to “reload user

aircraft” is detected—assign it to a joystick button or to a Key in
FSUIPC for this.
32FE 1 Hot Key change counter, incremented by FSUIPC whenever any Ok-Intl N/A
of the Hot Keys defined in the table at offset 3210 occurs and
therefore has its flag set by FSUIPC.
32FF 1 Hot Button change counter, incremented by FSUIPC whenever Ok-Intl N/A
any of the Hot Buttons defined in the table at offset 2910
changes state in the right way, and therefore has its flag set by
FSUIPC.
3300 2 Additional radio and autopilot status indicators (read only Ok-Intl N/A
access). Allocation by bits which are set when true. Bit 0 = least
significant (value 1):
0 = reserved
1 = good NAV1
2 = good NAV2
3 = good ADF1
4 = NAV1 has DME
5 = NAV2 has DME
6 = NAV1 is ILS
7 = AP NAV1 radial acquired
8 = AP ILS LOC acquired (incl BC—see 10)
9 = AP ILS GS acquired
10=AP ILS LOC is BC
11=good ADF2
12=NAV2 is ILS
13–15 reserved
3302 2 Assorted FSUIPC options, set by user parameters: read-only via Not yet N/A
the IPC. None yet applicable for FSX.
3304 4 FSUIPC version number: Ok-Intl N/A
The HIWORD (i.e. bytes 3306-7) gives the main version as
BCD x 1000: e.g. 0x1998 for 1.998
The LOWORD (bytes 3304-5) gives the Interim build letter:
0=none, 1-26=a-z: e.g. 0x0005 = 'e'
3308 2 FS version, as determined by FSUIPC: Currently only one of Ok-Intl N/A
these:
1 = FS98
2 = FS2000
3 = CFS2
4 = CFS1
5 = reserved
6 = FS2002
7 = FS2004 “A Century of Flight”
8 = FSX 32-bit
9 = ESP
10=P3D 32-bit
11=FSX 64-bit
12=P3D 64-bit

330A 2 Fixed read-only pattern, set to 0xFADE. Use this to check that Ok-Intl N/A
the values in 3304-3308 are valid (Note: the supplied LIB writes
its version number here, but this has no effect and is only for
assistance when viewing LOG files).
330C 2 Assorted status flags, the only ones which are of use to ?-Intl N/A
applications being:

2^1 When set this indicates that programs have full access
to the IPC not. This can be read without triggering the message
box to users which tells them of an unaccredited access attempt.
Note that on WideClient it will always be set, assuming
WideServer is registered on the FS PC. (should always be 1 in
FSUIPC4)

2^2 Set if the user has fully registered FSUIPC

2^4 Set when the user Throttle Sync option (in the Hot
Keys page of FSUIPC options) is enabled.
330E 1 Count of external IPC applications seen connecting since the No No
session began. Keeps increasing till it gets to 255 then stays at
that value.
330F 17 Reserved area for WideFS KeySend facility
3320 2 This word is used to activate a facility supported by WideFS to Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
automatically shut down the PCs running WideServer (i.e. this
one) and WideClient. The .ini files of each WideFS component
which is to activate the shutdown needs the
“AllowShutdown=Yes” parameter included. The application
performing the shut down action must write 0xABCD to this
offset.

WideServer automatically resets this word to zero 5 seconds

afterwards, before it initiates its own PC’s shutdown if specified.
This delay is to ensure the Clients get the message before the
host dies, and the clearing to zero is done so that the survivors
can continue.

WideFS also provides the lesser option “AllowShutdown=App”

which only closes down the WideClient or, in the case of
WideServer, the FS session. Later still the “AppOnly” variation
was added, which keeps WideClient running, ready to reload the
applications when FS restarts.

A hot key facility to invoke this WideFS shutdown from the FS

keyboard is provided via WideServer’s INI parameters.

The pattern 0xDCBA written here invokes a “close application”

action. On all WideFS PCs with any form of shutdown allowed,
this pattern closes only those applications loaded by WideFS and
leaves WideClient running ready to reload them. On the Server,
if it is allowed, it closes FS itself. A hot key facility is provided
for this variant, too.
3322 2 WideServer version number, if enabled. Otherwise this is zero. Ok-Intl Ok-Intl

This is a BCD value giving the version number x 1000, for

example 0x5110 means version 5.110.

See also offset 333C.

3324 4 This is the altimeter reading in feet (or metres, if the user is Ok-SimC ?-SimC
running with the preference for altitudes in metres), as a 32-bit
signed integer. Please check offset 0C18 to determine when
metres are used (0C18 contains ‘2’).

The same value can be calculated from the actual altitude and the
difference between the QNH and the altimeter “Kollsman”
pressure setting, but this value ensures agreement.
3328 2 Elevator Axis input value, post calibration, just before being ?-Intl N/A
 applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
310A).
332A 2 Aileron Axis input value, post calibration, just before being ?-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
310A).
332C 2 Rudder Axis input value, post calibration, just before being ?-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
310A).
332E 2 Throttle Axis input value, post calibration, just before being ?-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
310A). This is the single throttle, applied to whichever engines
are denoted by the bits in offset 0888.
3330 2 Throttle 1 Axis input value, post calibration, just before being ?-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
310A).
3332 2 Throttle 2 Axis input value, post calibration, just before being ?-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
310A).
3334 2 Throttle 3 Axis input value, post calibration, just before being ?-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
310A).
3336 2 Throttle 4 Axis input value, post calibration, just before being ?-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
310A).
3338 2 Elevator Trim Axis input value, post calibration, just before ?-Intl N/A
being applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at
offset 310A).
333A 2 Throttle lower limit. This is normally 0 if no reverse is available, ?-SimC No
otherwise gives the reverse limit such as –4096 (for 25%).
333C 2 WideFS flags: those used so far are:
2^0 1 =if TCP is being used, 0 if SPX
2^1 1 if connected at all, 0 is waiting for
connections

See offset 3322 for WideFS version number, which also

confirms that WideServer is registered and running.
333E 2 Weather clear count: This is incremented every time FS’s “clear No No
weather” routine is called, for whatever reason.
3340 36 This area is used for externally signalled “joystick button” Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
control, a set of 288 "virtual buttons". Each DWORD or 32 bits
represents one “joystick” with 32 buttons. If an external program
sets or clears a bit in any of these 9 DWORDS the “Buttons”
page in FSUIPC will register the change as a button operation on
one of Joystick numbers 64 to 72 (corresponding to the 9
DWORDs). So, FSUIPC can be used to program whatever
actions the user wants.

See also offset 29F0

3364 1 FS2004 “Ready to Fly” indicator. This is non-zero when FS is Ok-SimE N/A
(See note)
loading, or reloading a flight or aircraft or scenery, and becomes
zero when flight mode is enabled (even if the simulator is paused
or in Slew mode).
(Note that in FSX it tends to only be set during initial loading.
Use together with 3365)
3365 1 “In Menu or Dialog” flag. This byte is non-zero when FS is Ok-SimE N/A
(See note)
effectively paused because the user accessed the Menu, or is in a
dialogue resulting from menu or other selection activity.

The non-zero values are:

1 = FS in a menu (simulation stopped)
2 = FS in a dialogue (simulation probably stopped)

Both bits may be set in dialogues accessed through the menu.

 Note that the 2 bit may flicker a little on exit from the dialogue,
due to the way it is detected.

(In FSX/P3D these two states may be a little confused. Not also
that FSX/P3D does not freeze whilst navigating menus – it only
does so in the dialogues themselves, and then not all of them)
3366 1 This byte reflects the FS2004 “Engine on Fire” flags. I’m not Ok-SimC Ok-SimC
sure if FS actually simulates such events, but it appears to have
allocated Gauge-accessible variables to indicate them. This byte
uses bits 2^0–2^3 as flags for fires in Engines 1 to 4,
respectively.
3367 1 This byte shows doors that are open, one bit per door: Ok-SimC Ok-SimE
2^0 = Exit1 … 2^3 = Exit 4.
N.B. FSUIPC4 does handle up to 8 doors, one for each bit 0-7. Whether FSX can
actually process Exits 5-8 is unknown however.
3368 4 Reserved for PFC.DLL events.
336C 2 Frame rate calling counter. This is simply a number that is Ok-Intl N/A
incremented each time FSUIPC is entered from FS using the
entry related to frame rates.
336E 2 Toe brake axes have been selected as “Set” in FSUIPC’s joystick Ok-Intl N/A
pages if this is non-zero. Byte 336E is non-zero for Left Brake,
byte 336F for Right Brake.
Note that this only means that the user has told FSUIPC to
handle the toe braking, by pressing “Set”. It will only actually do
so if it sees brake messages.
3370 4 Four single byte PFC driver “alive” counters:
3370 = COM port read thread alive and running
3371 = Elevator trim motor action (0=off, 1=up, 2=dn)
3372 = COM port write thread alive
3373 = Main FS chain alive
N.B. without the main FS chain running the other three aren’t
maintained in any case, so mean nothing.
3374 4 This is the “live” millisecond count as used in the FSUIPC Log. Ok-Intl N/A
It is updated on each FS chained call to FSUIPC.
3378 4 This is the millisecond timestamp value of the most recent line in Ok-Intl N/A
the current FSUIPC Log. It is updated when each line is logged.
337C 1 Propeller de-ice switches, (1 = on, 0 = off), read for state, write ?-SimC ?-SimC
to control: one bit for each prop, bits 0—3 = Props 1--4
337D 1 Structural de-ice switch, (1 = on, 0 = off), read for state, write to Ok-SimC Ok-SimC
control.
337E 2 FSUIPC activity count. Simply a number that is incremented Ok-Intl N/A
every time FSUIPC receives a call or message from Flight
Simulator. This can be used through WideFS to check if FS is
still active, for example. Note that when FS is loading aircraft or
scenery/textures, this value may not change for many seconds as
FSUIPC is then not getting any processor time at all.
3380 128 Message text area: Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
(see 32FA)
The text is truncated if longer than 127 characters, there always
being a zero terminator provided.

You can write messages to this area, always zero terminated, for
display on the FS windshield or via ShowText or other
applications. After placing the message text, you must write the
16-bit timer value to offset 32FA to make FSUIPC send the
message (see 32FA above).
3400 2 FSUIPC logging options, reading and setting, bit-oriented with Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
But see
bits used as follows (bit numbers from bit 0 = least significant):
Note!
0 = logging enabled (ignored, as logging is always enabled nowadays)
1 = weather
2 = IPC writes
3 = IPC reads
4 = Extras
5 = Extended, technical button and key logging
 6 = VRI comms
7 = com HID
8 = L:Vars
9 = Axes
10 = Events
11 = Button/key standard logging
12 = Lua logging separate

Note that FSUIPC revents writes to this offset unless the User allows it to
happen. This is via the [General] section parameter:
LogOptionsProtect =Yes
If you need to allow programs to change the logging, change this to ‘No’ before
running FS.
3402 2 Current P3D4 mode, indicated by a flag bit as follows (by bit Ok-PDK N/A
number, 0 = 2^0):
0 Pause
1 Slew
2 Disabled
3 Crash
4 Freeze position
5 Freeze attitude
6 Freeze altitude
7 Freeze Lat/Lon
8 SimDirector
9 SimDirector World Editor
10 Recording active
11 Recording playback
12 Instant replay

Note that initially all 16 bits will be set. By the time a program
reads this it should reflect the above modes. If it remaind all set
(-1 or 0xFFFF) then something has failed interfacing to the PDK.
In this case other things in FSUIPC won’t be working either.
3410 2 Assorted indicator flags. These are the only ones currently set Ok-Intl N/A
(bit numbers, bit 0 = 2^0):
4 Engine 1 Reverser is set but inhibited*
5 Engine 2 Reverser is set but inhibited*
6 Engine 3 Reverser is set but inhibited*
7 Engine 4 Reverser is set but inhibited*
* Reverser inhibits are set in offset 32F8. Note that these flags
will be cleared only when the inhibit is removed or the relevant
throttle input goes positive (i.e. not just to idle).
3412 2 Spoiler Axis input value, post calibration, just before being Ok-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
341A). Copy this to 0BD0 for normal spoiler action.
3414 2 Flaps Axis input value, post calibration, just before being applied Ok-Intl N/A
to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset 341A). Copy
this to 0BDC for normal flaps action.
3416 2 Left Brake Axis input value, post calibration, just before being Ok-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
341A). Copy this to 0BC4 for normal left brake action.
3418 2 Right Brake Axis input value, post calibration, just before being Ok-Intl N/A
applied to the simulation (if allowed to by the byte at offset
341A). Copy this to 0BC6 for normal right brake action.
341A 1 Controls the joystick connection for ancillary axis controls, N/A OK-Intl
currently Left and Right brake, flaps and spoiler axes. Normally
all zero, set the following bits to actually disconnect the specific
joystick axes (from least significant bit = 0):

0 Left brake (“Axis Left Brake Set”)

1 Right Brake (“Axis Right Brake Set”)
2 Flaps
3 Spoilers
 This feature is intended for use in simulating relevant subsystem
failures or partial failures. Programs can read the input axis
values from offsets 3412–3418 above, and apply them, after
appropriate modification, to the relevant FS axis offsets (at
0BC4 and 0BC6 for Brakes, 0BDC for Flaps or 0BD0 for
Spoiler.

In order to protect the user from a broken or crashed application,

the flags are cleared 10 seconds after they have been set, so
applications will need to repeat the setting every few seconds.

Note that this byte is effectively “write only”. Upon reading it

will always appear to contain zero.
341C 1 No smoking alert switch (1 = on, 0= off) Ok-SimC Ok-SimE
341D 1 Seat belts alert switch (1 = on, 0 = off) Ok-SimC Ok-SimE
341E 1 Hydraulic switches, one bit for each: 2^0=pump1 ... 2^3=pump3 Ok-SimC Ok-SimE
341F 1 Fuel cross feed switch Ok-SimC Ok-SimE

3500 24 ATC aircraft model string for currently loaded user aircraft, as Ok-SimC No
declared in the AIRCRAFT.CFG file. This is limited to a
maximum of 24 characters, including a zero terminator.
3518 8 This double provides the FS-set "Ambient Wind Y" value within Not yet N/A
 about one second of offset 3478 being written by an application,
to control up and down drafts. This allows such a program to
monitor FS/scenery arranged updrafts and adjust its actions
accordingly.
3520 2 Earliest version number of connected WideClients (or clients Ok-Intl N/A
which have been connected). Zero if no connections have been
made, or if all connected clients have been version 6.441 or
before.
3541 1 This operates the FSUIPC “freeze flight position” facility. This N/A Ok-
Intl/SimC
keeps the aircraft at the same latitude and longitude for as long
as it is engaged. The altitude and attitude of the aircraft is free to
change, and, in fact, the aircraft flies as normal except for not
changing its position over the ground. This is apparently a very
useful facility for training environments.

For program control, write a non-zero values to this one byte

offset. This acts as a timer. The freeze will last for as long as this
byte is non-zero. It is used as a time, counting down 1 every
timer tick of 55 mSecs or so. To retain the freeze for a good
time, write 255 here and do so every 5–10 seconds. Allow for
WideFS delays.

Note that if FS is paused, then the freeze lasts until the pause is
released and re-engaged.
3542 2 Standby altimeter pressure setting (“Kollsman” window). As Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
millibars (hectoPascals) * 16. [This is used by FSUIPC to
maintain offset 3544. It is not used by FS at all]
3544 4 This is the standby altimeter reading in feet (or metres, if the Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
user is running with the preference for altitudes in metres), as a
32-bit signed integer. Please check offset 0C18 to determine
when metres are used (0C18 contains ‘2’).

This value is maintained by FSUIPC using the pressure setting

supplied in offset 3542. It isn’t used in FS itself, but is supplied
for additional gauges and external altimeters so that the standby
can be kept at the correct (or last notified) QNH whilst the main
altimeter is used for Standard settings (for airliners flying Flight
Levels).
3548 8 Horizon bars offset, as a percentage of maximum, in floating ?-SimC No-SimC+

retracted, 1.0=fully lowered).
3BA8 40 Area used by PFCFSX.DLL for axis input, for optional Ok-Intl Ok-Intl
assignment and calibration in FSUIPC.
When the PFC driver is not being used, other programs can
make use of these offsets to input axis values directly to
FSUIPC, which also can then be assigned in FSUIPC and thence
calibrated. Note that by default FSUIPC assumes that the normal
input here is in the range 0–127, and scales it accordingly. For
applications supplying a greater range, possibly up to the
maximum allowed for joysticks (–16383 to +16383) you can
either use the “RAW” option, or, better, let FSUIPC adjust its
scaling to suit the range being input. It will adjust this
automatically upon seeing the extreme values, or you can preset
 the scaling using a parameter added to the axis assignments line
in the INI file.
When the PFC driver is running, application programs or
modules can access the raw PFC axis values at these offsets,
which are assigned to the hardware as listed below. One 16-bit
word is allowed for each (although the PFC axes have a
maximum range of 0 to 127). The axes are:
3BA8 0 Aileron
3BAA 1 Elevator
3BAC 2 Rudder
3BAE 3 Quadrant axis 5
3BB0 4 Quadrant axis 3
3BB2 5 Quadrant axis 1

3BBE 11 Elevator trim
3BC0 12 Aileron trim
3BC2 13 Rudder trim
3BC4 14 Steering tiller

There are control flags (to disconnect these axes) at offset 3BC8.
Each bit, 2^0 to 2^15 can be set to disconnect the equivalent
numbered axis above.

3BD2 2 This is a 16-bit counter that is incremented each time a FLT file Ok-SimE N/A
is saved in FS. This applies to flights saved through FS Flights
menu, the shortcut key (;), AutoSave, and via the FSUIPC flight
saving facilities.

The filenames of the saved flights can be read at offset 0400, or

(historically) by using the path reading facility at offset 0FF0
and following.

3BF6 2 SimConnect re-connection count. This is incremented each time Ok-Intl N/A
 FSUIPC4 succeeds in connecting or re-connecting to
SimConnect.

Re-connection is sometimes needed if SimConnect starves

FSUIPC4 of information for longer than the timeout (set by the
INI parameter SimConnectStallTime, defaulting to 1 second),
other than during normal flight loading or menu stoppage times
(i.e. between Stop and Start notifications).
3BF8 2 Number of flap positions not including flaps full up. Ok-SimC No
3BFA 2 Flaps détente increment. The full range of flap movement is 0– Ok- No
Intl/SimC
0x3FFF (16383). Each détente position or “notch” is spaced
equally over this range, no matter what flap angle is represented
—a table in the AIR file gives those. To obtain the number of
détentes, divide this increment value into 16383 and add 1. For
example 2047 (0x7FF) would be the increment for 9 positions.
3BFC 4 Zero Fuel Weight, lbs * 256. This is the aircraft weight plus the ?-SimC No
payload weight, minus fuel. This changes as the payload is
adjusted.

Note that this value fluctuates slightly. It is not clear whether this
a bug, or an artefact of the physics simulation, but the empty
weight (1330) and the payload data (1400) may be used to get
a static value.

Write one of these values:
0 to simply load the specified flight/situation.
1 to save the flight/situation with no description
257 to save the flight/situation with a description

Flights are saved in the “My Documents” FS folder. Flights are

loaded by default from there too – you don’t have to specify a
path.

If you are Loading a file, please allow time for the file to load
before expecting any further meaningful response across the
FSUIPC interface. FSUIPC will probably not be able to respond
for several seconds even on the fastest machines.
3F02 2 FLT/STN file loading counter (incremented by FSUIPC Ok- N/A
Intl/SimC
whenever the FLT file, as defined at offset 3F04 changes or the
same FLT is reloaded).
 If FSUIPC4 re-initialises the SimConnect link at any time (e.g.
because of timeout), the flight name provided may change at the
same time, due to the way SimConnect operates and FSUIPC
obtains the flight names. The value in offset 3BF6 also updates
when SimConnect is re-initialised, so this may help distinguish
the cause of the change.
3F04 252 READ: Ok-SimC Ok-SimC
Pathname of the currently loaded FLT file, excluding the FS
main path (see 3E00) if applicable, else the full path, in UNC
format if WideFS is in use. This is zero padded to fill the 252
bytes available, or truncated if longer.

When this changes (or simply reloaded) the 16-bit counter at

3F02 is incremented, so interested programs don’t have to keep
on reading the whole 252 bytes to check.

WRITE:
Write the file name for the FLT+WX file you wish to Load or
Save. The name can include the final “.flt” but this will be
discarded in any case. You can specify a folder (existing within
FS’s main folder) for Loading, but files can only be saved to
your “My Documents” FS folder. If you give a path for saving, it
is discarded. There must be a zero terminator.

If you are writing the file, a description can also be specified,

following the pathname and its zero terminator. Obviously this is
limited by the space available. It must also be terminated by a
zero byte, and indicated in the value written to 3F00 above.

See 3F00 above for details of actually Loading or Saving the

Flight or Situation so identified.

8678 float 32 Longitude, in degrees

867E word 16bit Flags:
2^15 = 1 when valid result is supplied
 2^0 = 1 if surface is a platform
2^1 = 1 if platform is moving
To use this, first write the Lat/Lon to the assigned locations, and
zero to 867E, then write anything to offset 8670 (the act of
writing to it triggers the query to P3D4).
The result is available in offsets 8670 and 867E when 867E is
non-zero. The action should only take a few milliseconds, so if
867E remains zero for, say, half a second, then the request has
failed.

8680 32 Camera name for use with the following facility N/A OK-Intl
(Prepar3D version 2 or later, only).

86A0 24 This provides a way to use the N/A OK-Intl

SimConnect_CameraSetRelative6DOF
function to manipulate the current camera. Please refer to
SimConnect SDK documentation for details of this function.

Offsets 86A0, 86A4, 86A8, 86AC, 86B0 and 86B4 (ie 6 consecutive
32-bit values) should be written with the 6 float parameters for
SimConnect_CameraSetRelative6DOF. The action is triggered by a
write to 86A0, so either write that parameter last, or, better, write all 24
bytes as one structure, in one Write. If you are using VB remember that
hex values like 86A0 will be rendered as FFFF86A0 unless you take
steps to ensure no sign propagation.
When used with Prepar3D version 2 or later you can also select the
specific camera, by name. To do this, before writing the 6 float values to
offsets 86A0-86B4 as described above, write a zero byte to offset 8680.
This will make it refer to the default camera. Alternatively you can first
write the Camera Name to offset 8680-869F, as a zero-terminated
ASCIIZ character string of up to 32 bytes (including terminator). This
will than make FSUIPC use the function
SimConnect_CameraSetRelative6DofByName
instead of the default camera version.

Note that, for this extra facility to work, you must be using Prepar3D
version 2 or later (earlier versions do not have this function), and
FSUIPC must be able to load the newer versions of
SimConnectP3D2.DLL (or SimConnectP3D3.dll for P3Dv3).

zero-terminated ASCII strings, with the title as the first
string. The numbers displayed on screen are not
included.
C000 4096 FS2004 style NWI (“New Weather Interface”) areas, allowing Ok-SimC Ok-SimC
both local and global weather data to be read and written.
C000–C3FF = Interpolated weather at aircraft (READ)*

C800–CBFF = Weather writing area (WRITE)
For GLOB or ICAO ID as specified.
CC00–CFFF = Weather at requested location (READ)
For ICAO ID or Lat/Lon* as specified.

The “read at requested location” facility is extended to read the

weather at the user aircraft position, by giving an ICAO of
‘????’. This is the same as giving the aircraft’s Lat/Lon, but a bit
easier. (Global is read by ‘GLOB’, as before). Additionally, the
ICAO field can be set to “<??>” to get the weather set at the
nearest weather station to the user aircraft. The ICAO id of that
station is returned in the ICAO field.

** A facility is also provided to force FSX into global-only

weather, so that instructor stations, for example, can set weather
reliably. This is also automatic for the AWI and FS98 interfaces.

* Note that interpolated weather (at aircraft or Lat/Lon) does not

include local layer information (for visibility, winds and
temperature) other than for the layer at the aircraft altitude. The
other layers are obtained from the nearest Weather Station.

Detecting runways in use (via SimC)
(1st use) This facility gives applications a better chance of detecting the
runways in use at any selected airport in range (i.e. within 85nm
or so of the user aircraft). The Weatherset2 program provided
with FSUIPC makes use of this to show any runways currently
 assigned when AI traffic is active at a weather station selected by
ICAO code.
This is the interface for this:
D000 32-bit signature (see below)
D004 4 character ICAO of airport
D008 32-bit timestamp
D00C 4 bytes giving up to 2 departure runways, format:
Number (1 byte), Designator (1 byte)
D010 4 bytes giving up to 2 arrival runways, format:
Number (1byte), Designator (1 byte)

Runway numbers: 1–36 plus 37=N, 38=Ne, 39=E, 40=Se, 41=S,

42=Sw, 43=W, 44=Nw

Designators: 0=none, 1=L, 2=R, 3=C, 4=W

Procedure:
1. Write your signature value (generated by your program, to
prevent simultaneous access by others), and the ICAO at the
same time. If you use separate writes, write the ICAO first,
but use one FSUIPC_Process call.
2. Read the timestamp. This is best done in the same
FSUIPC_Process call as the writes.
3. Read the ICAO, timestamp and 8 bytes of runway details
until the timestamp changes (or until you time-out). Then
check that the ICAO you read is the one you want. If so,
then the runway bytes are either zero (if there aren't any
known) or they are filled in for you.
4. Write zero to the signature to free the interface for others. If
you don't do this, FSUIPC will clear it in any case within
about 12-15 seconds of action 1 above.
Notes:
The runways are gleaned from the data in the tables at D040 and
D840, described below, but FSUIPC is here looking through
ALL the traffic, i.e. all traffic within FS’s own 80–90nm radius.
It is not restricted it by the user-set radius, nor the smaller
ground limit.
D000 16 ?-Intl/SimC ?-Intl
Reading full AI Traffic identity strings
(2nd use) The offset area at D000 can also be used to read full AI aircraft
data strings. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Write the selected command, from list below, to D004 (32-
bit DWORD)
2. Read the timestamp at D008 (32-bit DWORD)
3. Write the AI id (from the TCAS table, see earlier) to D00C
(32-bit DWORD)
4. Write a signature to D000 (32-bit DWORD)
It is probably best to do all that in one FSUIPC Process call—in
recent versions of WideFS the read should be separated out for
you in any case. The order isn't important except that you must
write the signature last.
If you want to do another within 14 seconds, use the same
signature. Use a signature of zero to allow anyone to do the same
thing at the same time, but then be aware that your data may not
be what you asked for.
5. Wait till the timestamp in D008 changes.
 6. Read string result (up to 48 bytes including terminating
zero) from D010.
The command values available are:
1 = Tail Number
2 = Airline name + Flight number
3 = ATC aircraft type, plus ATC aircraft model *
4 = Aircraft title
5 = ATC aircraft type + last 3 digits of tail number
* The aircraft type is one zero-terminated string, and the model
is another, following immediately. If either are missing you’ll
still get the null string (i.e. just the zero terminator).
Except for the last case where 3 digits are extracted deliberately
(in accordance with ATC practice), none of these strings are
likely to be abbreviated, except perhaps any long Aircraft Titles.
In other words don't expect the string read in command 2 to be
the same as the 14 character version in the TCAS tables—though
the beginning and end will be, of course.

E004 WORD number of slots used so far (keeps

E008 BYTE slotChanges[]: an array of N bytes, each

slot is changed
E068 BYTE[8] option settings for Ground tables. See *
below.
E07E WORD the FSUIPC offset for the slot with the
nearest ground aircraft to the user
aircraft.
* The 8 bytes at offset E068 contain the current option settings
for Ground aircraft. They are used as follows:
Byte 0 Range in nm (0 = unlimited). For ground, this is the range
when the user aircraft is airborne. Default is 6nm.
Byte 1 Range in nm (0 = unlimited) for Ground aircraft, when the
User aircraft is also on the ground. Default is 3 nm.
Byte 2 The TCASid option setting, thus:
0 = Tail number
1 = Airline + Flight number
2 = Type
3 = Title
4 = Type + last 3 digits or tail number
5 = Model
Byte 3 = 0 normally, giving preference to nearer aircraft when the
table is full
 0 to give preference to active aircraft. An aircraft is
considered inactive if it is in states x80 or x81 (initialising
or sleeping).
Bytes 4–7 Reserved.
Normally most of these options will be as set by the user via the
FSUIPC options dialogue or INI file. Applications can change
them by writing to these bytes, independently for ground and
airborne traffic (the latter at F068). However, FSUIPC will
automatically re-instate the user’s settings in approximately 20
seconds after the last write to any one of these bytes (airborne or
ground). If an application wants to continue with changed
settings it must re-write that changed setting at regular intervals.
I would suggest using an interval of no more than 5 seconds in
order to allow for delays when Networking is being used or FS is
under other loads.
