Hi! I need some help...

I´m not able of read the offsets of "door status" with mobiflight to light on my overhead section of doors.

According to pmdg sdk, in the final section -> Additional variables added by update SP1D, thay says:

6C16 1 BYTE DOOR_annunAIRSTAIS,
6C14 1 BYTE DOOR_annunFWD_ENTRY,
6C1E 1 BYTE DOOR_annunAFT_ENTRY

Mobiflight is running perfectly with a lot of other offsets values but I dont have result with these.

I´m using the last version of pmdg 737 sp1d and it last version 1.10.6461 and I don´t have any value. Always 0. No change if I open or close the doors.

What I´m doing wrong?

Thanks!!!

Regards.

Hi.

Can´t confirm this..... All Door Offsets work fine on my system. ( Same Version)

Please look up that Offset not change if you open Doors..... It change if anaunciator in the Virtual Cockpit is light up ( Some lights just 3-6 Seconds after you start opening the door) Additional please confirm you use for Door Opening the PMDG Intern System by the FMC and not a FSX Command or a external Programm !

I test 10 minutes ago with all 12 Offsets and entrys by single test runs.... ALL work fine ! ( Overwing Fwd and Aft are combined in one function in FMC .... for informatin !)

As you told you already buld lots of other PMDG stuff i not need to tell you the basics here... Please try out again.. this must work !
Good Luck !

Hi again!

I found the problem. Mobiflight is not reading any offset of the section of pmdg -> Additional variables added by update sp1D despite being installed.

I can read ALL the variables from the pmdg, ALL!, but the final section of SP1D it is impossible for me. No door annunciator, no elec_meterdisplay, nothing of this sections can be read.

I ´m sure that is not a mobiflight problem, because the software is running perfectly with all other offsets, but the question is... where is the problem?

I have enabled EnableDataBroadcast=1 from the first time I installed MobiFlight.

Thanks!

Ok.

Good to know the problem.....

Please Confirm you got a actual FSUIPC Version installed !
PMDG Manual says you need " FSUIPC 4.939f or later !"

The Offsetrange is added to FSUIPC with Servicepack 1d..... Maby this area was not free in older FSUIPC and so youre PMDG can´t use this offsets with a Out of Date FSUIPC Version.

FSUIPC can download from .... http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html

Please try this and report if problem still exist !

EDIT: Found this in the Version History file of FSUIPC..... Pretty shure this is cause of youre problem !
iconQuote:

Version 4.939i (March 2015)
1. New data values provided with the SP1d update for the PMDG 737NGX are now mapped into FSUIPC offsets 6C00
to 6C69.

I´m going to update FSUIPC to solve the problem.

I think that you are right. I´ using a older version of FSUIPC.

This is the reason of the fault.

Many Thanks pizman82.

SOLVED!

An old version of FSUIPC was the problem. Now, all the offsets from PMDG are running, doors leds, IRS display... all!

Next time I will try to read more carefully the user manual!:blush:

As you told pizman82. This is the key of the problem.

Version 4.939i (March 2015)
1. New data values provided with the SP1d update for the PMDG 737NGX are now mapped into FSUIPC offsets 6C00
to 6C69.

Many thanks!
