fsuipc.write(0x0B4C, value_to_write.to_bytes(2, byteorder='little')) fsuipc.process() # Important: Commit the write to the simulator
Understanding the FSUIPC User Guide is key. Here are some critical offsets: Description 0x0570 Precise Altitude (meters) 0x02B0 IAS (knots * 128) 0x0580 Heading (degrees * 65536 / 360) 0x0EDC COM1 Frequency 0x0D0C Master Battery Switch (0/1) Building Advanced Automation: The Logic
This script connects to the FSUIPC server, targets the airspeed and altitude offsets, decodes the raw bytes, and prints them to the console. fsuipc python
Write scripts to interface with your flight sim in minutes.
Here are some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of FSUIPC and Python: fsuipc
Python is a popular programming language known for its ease of use, flexibility, and extensive libraries. When combined with FSUIPC, Python becomes a powerful tool for creating flight simulator add-ons, plugins, and tools. Here are some reasons why you might want to use FSUIPC with Python:
Always surround your FSUIPC calls in try...except blocks to handle scenarios where the simulator closes unexpectedly. Here are some tips and tricks to help
Instead of dealing with complex C++ network sockets or low-level API calls, FSUIPC exposes a vast memory map of the simulator. These memory locations are called . Each offset corresponds to a specific variable in the simulation, such as: 0x02BC : Forward airspeed 0x0570 : Aircraft pitch and roll 0x0BBF : Fuel weight 0x2F30 : Landing gear position
Log flight data directly to CSV or plot it in real-time.
