February 15, 200422 yr Wouldn't this be nice to have? A hot key that could be used to increase or decrease scenery density on the "fly." Need higher frames during approach? Just reduce density with one keystroke. Maybe this is just a dream!!!!!!!Airbus Al Kaupa Digital Storm purchased 8/17/2011; Win7x64: Asus P8P67 Deluxe; Intel i7 2600K@3,9 GHZ; nVidia GTX 560Ti; 8GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Dominator; Power Corsair HX 750W; Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD; 300GB WD VelociRaptor; 1TB Seagate.
February 15, 200422 yr Author If you have registered your copy of FSUIPC, you can do exactly what you are suggesting. FSUIPC now includes the ability to directly write values to any of its supported offsets. The command you are looking to use is 'Offset Word Set' and the address is 0B60. Acceptable values are 0 (least dense) to 5 (most dense). If you select 'FSUIPC' from the 'Modules' menu, you can make the required assignments on either the 'Buttons' or 'Keys" tabs, depending on how you want to trigger the change.If you don't want to set this stuff up yourself, you can add the following to the [keys] section of FSUIPC.INI0=49,13,x02000B60,x00011=50,13,x02000B60,x00022=51,13,x02000B60,x00033=52,13,x02000B60,x00044=53,13,x02000B60,x00055=48,13,x02000B60,x0000This assigns the values of 0 to 5 to the key combinations "Alt Shift 0" to 'Alt Shift 5" respectively.Doug
February 16, 200422 yr Thanks Doug!This really worked great!! I had no idea that you could program the keys like this. I started to look at the FSUIPC documentation, but could not figure out how you arrived at the offset word set of "0b60" and the use of 0-5 for the density. Where did you find that?Airbus Al Kaupa Digital Storm purchased 8/17/2011; Win7x64: Asus P8P67 Deluxe; Intel i7 2600K@3,9 GHZ; nVidia GTX 560Ti; 8GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Dominator; Power Corsair HX 750W; Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD; 300GB WD VelociRaptor; 1TB Seagate.
February 16, 200422 yr Author Download the SDK from Pete's site. The file you want is called "FSUIPC for Programmers.doc" If you're interested in programming with FSUIPC you can read the whole thing. If you just want the list of offsets, it is located in a table near the end of the document.If you do any experimenting, take care that you get the units right when you are setting values. FS likes to work with integers, so many of these offsets take very large integer values, rather than a more intuitive floating point value. Don't worry about messing up though. The absolute worst thing that will happen will be that FS will crash and it is far more likely that you will simply crash the aircraft.Cheers,Doug Dawson
