Fsuipc Python
| Offset | Size | Description | Example | |--------|------|-------------|---------| | 0x0B70 | 2 | Indicated airspeed (knots) * 128 | 250 knots → 32000 | | 0x0574 | 4 | Latitude (degrees * 1e7) | 40.7128° → 407128000 | | 0x0578 | 4 | Longitude (degrees * 1e7) | -74.0060° → -740060000 | | 0x07D0 | 4 | Autopilot altitude target (meters) | 3000 m | | 0x07DC | 2 | Autopilot master (0=off, 1=on) | 1 | | 0x0CD8 | 4 | Engine fuel flow (pounds/hour) | 2500 |
(v4, v5, v6, or v7 for MSFS) installed as a plugin in your flight simulator. Compatibility: fsuipc python
# Print the altitude value print(f"Current Altitude: altitude ft") | Offset | Size | Description | Example
While FSUIPC was traditionally accessed via C++ or C#, Python's rise in the flight sim community is driven by several factors: # Altitude: Offset 0x6020 is often easier (Ground
: You must have a version of FSUIPC (like FSUIPC7 for MSFS) installed and running. Some advanced features of FSUIPC itself require a paid registration.
# Altitude: Offset 0x6020 is often easier (Ground Alt), but let's use standard 0x0570 # 0x0570 is 8 bytes (double) data = fsuipc_client.prepare([ (0x0570, 'd'), # Altitude (0x02BC, 'l') # Airspeed ])
The biggest barrier to entry is the FSUIPC SDK documentation. To use Python with FSUIPC, you must understand Memory Offsets . You don't ask the sim for "Altimeter setting"; you have to know that you need to read "Offset 0330" and that it is a 2-byte integer that needs to be divided by 16 to get the correct value.
