April 30, 200620 yr Hi,Where can I find the offsets for the MIP annunciators (LE FLAPS EXIT, TRANSIT, ...), I would like to assign them to my I/O but I have no clue where to find them.Thanks,Faro

Read the operations manual of your aircraft (or substitute your own idea how they should work). The flaps extension offset (0BE0) changes as your flaps move. Check the value and decide what it means.Basically, leading edge flaps (slats) usually extend after a certain amount of flaps is extended. So just a simple comparison against a certain value, if you have more flaps than that, you have slats out too. Of course if you want to simulate failures etc, you need to figure out how a hydraulics failure effects slats vs flaps etc - but that's outside the scope of this answer :)How to do this in practice depends on your interfacing hardware/software.For flaps transit, you can for example check the position of your flap lever, and compare this to the flap extension offset value. If they are different, it's pretty certain the flaps are "in transit" unless there is a system failure.Then again, if you use Level-D 767, Nico's FSConv probably gives you offsets for pretty much everything :)//Tuomas
May 1, 200620 yr Don't get confused here. The offset does not change as the flap moves, only the value. Flaps up value=0, 1=2047, 2=4094, 5=6141, 10=8188, 15=10235, 25=12282, 30=14329, and 40=16376. These are for a 737 and a Phidget card. So for Flaps Transit the value would be 1-2046, as you want the light to go out when the flap stops moving. Peter Dowson has all the FS9 offsets listed on his site.Rodney
