Hi,

I am trying to get input from MSFS's 172 VAC gauge (for servo use), but I can't figure out what preset or offset I need to enter.

There's nothing like VAC in the name in Mobiflight. I found 'Gyro suction in inches of mercury (Hg), floating point double (FLOAT64)' on Project Magenta (0B18) but, that one doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers.

Hi

I´m sorry. I´m not a professional Cessna User..... Fly my 737 lots of years.

Your problem pretty sure is.... Does Offset exist basicly OR does it just not be implement in the FS2020 ? ( Lots of stuff is not available in the current BETA of FSUIPC till now)

So NOT get fixed on the Mobiflight Presets..... You need to check the FSUIPC Offset List.
Badly i not know what you mean with "VAC" .... Can you explane more easy where this gauge is in the sim so i can figute out the offset for you !
Good Luck !

Thank you for taking time to answer me.

I understand your explanation about MSFS not being fully compatible.
I included a screenshot of the location of the VAC.



As you can see it's one of the small gauges left of the basic six. All of these small ones work, except the VAC.
According to this link it's something like: Vacuum Gauge/ Ammeter - The vacuum gauge shows the pressure made by the vacuum pump which is needed to operate the Attitude Indicator and Heading Indicator.

Hope you can help, if not, thank you for trying! :thumbup:

Edit: I have also posted this on the discord server this morning. :)

Not 100% sure.....

Try THIS

iconQuote:

0B18 8 Gyro suction in inches of mercury (Hg), floating point double
(FLOAT64)





EDIT: Just see your Discord posting. Sorry i recommend a Idea that was still known there..
Whatever i think this is the solution.
Lets talk in Discord. We just need to "rework" the raw Value here. Then it will work i think !
