*IF* the dreamfleet planes just use the regular MSFS AP values, then the AP Altitude is at 07D4, and the AP vertical speed is at 07F2.But, if Dreamfleet implements them differently, they might not even exist in an offset at all. The way to find out is to use the FSInterrogate applications "three way search" that comes with the SDK. Ric

Hi Alberto,Unfortunately you are going to find nothing!The DF737 uses own internal variables and not offsets so there is no way to read/write to these values.The only 737 that uses default a/p values is the outstanding FeelThere 737-300/400. The only thing that doesn't work is the IAS selector.Everything else worked fine in the original CD version and I had success controlling the a/c via FSBUS. But I don't know if it still works with the latest version because I had sold my FSBUS setup by the time the update was released.George DorkofikisAthens, Hellashttp://online.vatsimindicators.net/811520/1704.png

>Hi George ,>>Thank you . I will try the Feelthere .>>Best regards>>Alberto KunzelOr try the Level-D 767-300ER. For that aircraft you can build a fully operational MCP (and much more) based on FSUIPC ofsets via the Level-D SDK and my FSCONV program.Best Regards,Nicohttp://www.nicokaan.nl

Huh???...That's strange!I had successfully moved the PFD and ND to a second monitor even on full screen with the FeelThere 737.You click on the PFD and/or ND, and drag them to the other monitor.Did you try that?But, as I said before, CURRENTLY, apart from paying heavy for Project Magenta or such there is NO 737 that allows interaction and can be used by home cockpit builders.The new boeing glass gauges however (see other posts past days) are looking very promising. And if the price of the FMC is low as they say, it will be a very good alternative.For now, the one and only aircraft with FULL home cockpit support is the LevelD 767 (like Nico already said).That's the one I'm building around too.George DorkofikisAthens, Hellashttp://online.vatsimindicators.net/811520/1704.png
