not much, since sp4 are just data edits..
for more info in ram an .exe-edit would be necessary.

working on it..

yes, that's a big prob with the shared mem. I'm working on a method,
which checks the data which is always available, and depending on this
data, the MCaution lights up.. still research phase

already worked out, here's my VB code:

----------------------------------

noseGearOK = 1.570795
leftGearOK = 1.308996
rightGearOK = 1.308996

firstChip(17) = F.NoseGearPos > noseGearOK   ' NoseGear
firstChip(18) = F.LeftGearPos > leftGearOK   ' LeftGear
firstChip(19) = F.RightGearPos > rightGearOK ' RightGear
firstChip(20) = ((F.gearPos > 0) And (F.gearPos < 1)) Or ((F.gearPos =
1) And ((F.NoseGearPos <= noseGearOK) Or (F.LeftGearPos <= leftGearOK)
Or (F.RightGearPos <= rightGearOK))) 'gearHandle

------------------------------------
