Tail wheel lock offset for FSUIPC?

Featured Replies

Is there one? In order to definitely set it on or off in relation to the position of a hardware switch. I did not find it.

Thx,

Karl

I think the toggle using control #66541 is all there is.

Ok, that's like using the direct command "Toggle Tailwheellock". Using it like that I never know the state (on or off) it has.

So probably there is no way to have a lever and set tailwheellock on for one position of the lever and tailwheellock off for the other position.

There is a simconnect variable in P3D for the current state of the tailwheel lock, so maybe if you visit the FSUIPC site and request that John Dowson add an offset for that variable it could be done.  Given that there's a simconnect variable, you could also try reading the Lvar in xml via Lua/FSUIPC..

Thank you. I will try to get the Lvar.

Pete told me that there is an offset for tailwheel lock: 0x2A90. I just did not check the latest documentation. Everything is fine now.

Just as a general comment, my understanding is that unlike with FSX/P3D, FSUIPC7 does not have access to Lvars in MSFS at this time, and maybe never unless Asobo agrees at some point to make them accessible, which is doubtful. This is really unfortunate since I have many Lua scripts that depend on Lvar access. 🤕
