Can´t change some datarefs

[meshboy]

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/turbulence[0]"),5); //int kts

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/turbulence[1]"),8); //int kts

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/turbulence[2]"),3); //int kts

This is how i set some datarefs, works in some but others are not affected.

Any suggestions? iam not using gizmo at the moment.

These turbulence refs are not affected at all????

Looks like you're trying to write Integer values to datarefs that expect Floats.

Try this instead:

XPLMSetDataf( XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/turbulence[0]"), 0.5 );

Hi, you are right, it is a float, but it wont work even if i set a float value.

I set three cloud values first. is that why no turbulence is showing?

I guess if the turbulence is set i will see the values in the weather window as i do when i set my cloud?

This is what i have, cloud works but nothing else.

//Set weather

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/cloud_type[0]"),cloud0);

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/cloud_type[1]"),cloud1);

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/cloud_type[2]"),cloud2);

//0-1

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/thunderstorm_percent"),0.7);

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/wind_turbulence_percent"),0.8);

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/rain_percent"),0.6);

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/wind_speed_kt[0]"),0.5); //int kts

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/wind_speed_kt[1]"),0.5); //int kts

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/wind_speed_kt[2]"),0.5); //int kts

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/turbulence[0]"),5.0); //int kts

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/turbulence[1]"),5.0); //int kts

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/turbulence[2]"),5.0); //int kts

XPLMSetDatai(XPLMFindDataRef("sim/weather/rate_change_percent"),1.0);

SOLVED IT!

Of course it wont work,

XPLMSetDatai (setting integers only)

have to use:

XPLMSetDataf (setting float)

Different method and it is working!
