• 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.

FSX Autopilot Mach Reference

Hi,
I want to set the autopilot mach reference value to the current mach number.
SimConnect_TransmitClientEvent with AP_MACH_VAR_SET seems to be the right function. But the SDK does not specify the units requested. Since the parameter to be transferred is declared as DWORD, it would not be usable to specify a mach number with at least one decimal fraction. I even tried AP_PANEL_MACH_HOLD_TOGGLE to set the current mach number. The only result in all cases is, that the throttle moves to idle as soon as I switch AP_MACH_ON. Does anybody know how to specify the mach number to be set with SimConnect in the autopilot system ?

Thanks,
Mike

By sending arbitrary values to AP_MACH_VAR_SET, and looking at the result of "AUTOPILOT MACH HOLD VAR" with the units of "Mach", I determined that it's expecting a scale of 100 integer values to 1 Mach.
