I have looked, and looked and I can not find the offset for the fuel quantity in FS2004. This, I need in order to be able to build the fuel quantity gauge for the Bell 206. Does anyone happen to know what it is or how I can get it? Things are going along pretty good now that I have had a programming session with Stefan. Now I am startingt build and program my analog gauges.

Hi,

You can find all the FSUIPCoffsets in the "FSUIPC for Programmers.pdf" available in the 29th SDK (at Pete Dowson's page (http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html)).
The fuel offsets start at 0x0B74

Milt,

The FSUIPC sdk also includes a great little program called fsinterrogate2std. It allows you to see what values FSUIPC is actually recording for all of the different offsets. It was very helpful when trying to calibrate my warning panel.

Good luck!

Thanks for the response guys. I have all of the offsets, but have been unable to get a servo to respond using any of the listed offsets. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Back to the drawing board. I will have to learn how to use FSInterrogate and try that.

Fsinterrogate has a great GUI, it will be no problem for you at all.

Let me know if you run into trouble and I will try to help.

I am now using FSnterrogate. Still can not get the offset for the fuel. Here is something else: I have the engine oil and the transmission oil gauges working. The problem is, when I shut down the heli, the servos shut down in order instead of all at once. Meaning that on CID 27, row 80 shuts down, when it is done, 81 shuts down, then 82, then 83, etc. This takes awhile to wait for the servos to finish shutting down. But, they all power up at the same time. Any ideas? Would it make a difference if I used a separate power supply for the servos? I am using a 5 volt supply with 3 amp output, for everything, should be enough for just 4 servos. ANY help is welcomed.
