• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA Landing variable

I see that the conversion to int is really bothering you...but that´s the way the XML interpreter works as there is no int types to use in proper evaluations.

Now, from a logical perpective of zero=false non zero=true, I can agree with you that the conversion is not something transparent to the user and perhaps it should not have been included as it is.
However, I would not dare to call it a broken process, but I do believe using the zero-non zero logic directly, without conversion, would have been more in line with classic programming languages.

For what it is worth, a lot of default Microsoft functions use the type definition BOOL (caps not lowercase bool). And if you check the definition of BOOL, it is int.
