I can read global.dll offset, but not write? [Archive]

Hi,

Thanks to some code scattered on the internet I am able to read directly the latitude/longitude/altitude of my aircraft.

But for the life of me I cannot write, (or set my position), back to the dll, (what I ultimately want to do).

For example, I can read my latitude at 0x20CE3560, but I cannot write it.
I can update the value of that offset, (and the value does change), but the aircraft does not move to the new location.

I think this is because I need to 'refresh' fs9 so it updates to the values I have set.

So, what could I be missing? How can I write the values directly to fs9?

Regards,

Sims.

Hi,

Are you using FSUIPC or are you trying to write directly into the memory of FS? With FSUIPC it works fine if you read/write the address 0x560.

Yes, of course, but I would like to do it without.

I am sure that FSUIPC is doing something after writing to the actual offset, (represented as 0x560 in FS98 I think), that causes FS9 to updates its values.

More than 1 year after your post, I have the exact same question.
I would like to set the aircraft position without using FSUIPC. Just like you, I found the right offset that I can read but not write.
I'm sure FSUIPC does something else when writing to these offsets, because it works with FSUIPC.

If you found any clue to solve this problem, I would be glad to know.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi,

No, I never really got a real clue from anyone here, I tried a few things but never got anywhere.

I even sent a PM on this board to the author of FSUIPC to ask him for a hint, but he never even replied to me :(.

If I ever find anything I'll add it here, please let me know if you come across anything.
