The dlls should work when placed there as well.Tuomas

Great program and concept. I have it working, but I have a question:How can I add a current Flaps postion to the .ini file? What is the FSUIPC Hex address for Flap Position? Thanks

Thanks>0BE0, 4 bytes, you can find that in the FSUIPC for programmers, in the FSUIPC_SDK:====0BE0 4 Flaps position indicator (left).Note that in FS2002 this gives the correct proportional amount, with 16383=full deflection. It doesn

Thanks for the help. I tried it in FS 2004, but the formula doesn't work correctly. I can get the data to display, but it doesn't match the flap setting. Can you give me a step by step explanation as to what to put in each field in FSLCD? Max flap angle is 40 degress with 9 detents (0,1,2,5,10,15,25,30,40 degrees respectively). Thanks again.

You need a conversion table for that, which is not supported bij the program, i'm afraid.Regards,Nicowww.nicokaan.nlklm421.jpg

Hi everyone, just a quick status report on this project.... I got the LCD's, only to find that I hadn't noticed when I bid on them that they don't have a backlight. :-( Oh well, never mind. I wired one up to a Parallel cable using a protoboard, ran the FSLCD software, and bingo, there was my info! Took everything to pieces, got out some perfboard and wired it all back together permanently... and all I have is a row of black squares across just the lower line of the two line display :-( Obviously I've goosed something in the hardwired assembly. Probably my crappy soldering skills. But at least I know it's GOING to work :-)Richard

should be something with the data lines that don't give trough correctlyor it's the pot for adjusting contrast that is not set up properlygot that too from time to time ;)

Hi again... I found a crossed wire in the wiring, and put that right. Now, when I start FSLCD, I get two lines of data.... Just not what it's supposed to be :-(The on-screen display of FSLCD shows:-0414.0 121.90 124.85 1200 113.90 110.50The LCD though shows:-!!!131/91!!135/95!!!113/91!!111/51 When I had it wired through the protoboard it was working fine, so it's got to be something I've still not found that's messed up in my wiring or soldering.Richard

Works great! thanks for the help.
