Fuel Flow For Jets MSFS 2020 & MSFS 2024

I am using offsets 0x2020, 0x2120, 0x2220 & 0x2320 as a double (FLOAT64) to get fuel flow in lbs per hour.

When flying an aircraft such as the inibuilds Airbus A350 (engines 1 and 2) are about 55% of what the fuel flow is showing in the cockpit.

Offset<double> FSUIPCAltFuelFlow1 = new Offset<double>("FSUIPCAltFuelFlow1", 0x2020); //Alternate Fuel flow for engine 1 (Jets).
Offset<double> FSUIPCAltFuelFlow2 = new Offset<double>("FSUIPCAltFuelFlow2", 0x2120); //Alternate Fuel flow for engine 2 (Jets).
Offset<double> FSUIPCAltFuelFlow3 = new Offset<double>("FSUIPCAltFuelFlow3", 0x2220); //Alternate Fuel flow for engine 3 (Jets).
Offset<double> FSUIPCAltFuelFlow4 = new Offset<double>("FSUIPCAltFuelFlow4", 0x2320); //Alternate Fuel flow for engine 4 (Jets).

//Get alternate fuel flow.
doubleFuelFlow = FSUIPCAltFuelFlow1.Value + FSUIPCAltFuelFlow2.Value + FSUIPCAltFuelFlow3.Value + FSUIPCAltFuelFlow4.Value;

//Format fuel flow to remove decimals.
stringFuelFlow = doubleFuelFlow.ToString("f0");

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

Marc

0x2020 is 'corrected' fuel flow. Have you tried the raw fuel flow at 0x2060?

I tried 2060, 2160, 2260 & 2360 before posting here and there is no data (value=0) using 2060 & 2160.

What does 'corrected' mean?

I am having the same issue with the FlyByWire A320 Neo.

The TURB ENG CORRECTED FF simvar is also held in offsets 0x08A0 (1), 0x0938 (2), 0x09D0 (3) & 0x0A68 (4) as a 2 byte integer. Interestingly, these offsets (except for 0x08A0, although still applies here) are documented as:

Don’t know units, but it seems to match some gauges if divided by 128. Not maintained in all cases.

So maybe also try those offsets. But FSUIPC just holds the data/values received from the FS, so if these are not correct then I think you need to ask about this with the aircraft developer/support.

Note you can also use the SimvarWatcher utility program to check the values held inf FSUIPC are correct. This utility program is included in the MSFS SDK samples which you would need to download and install.
