• 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.

Hello all :)

So Title says it all, quick researches gave me negative results; that it cannot get the Pressure, Wind & Temperature datas, however, I still ask here, I know we have magicians here, to know if a workaround is possible.

Thank you in advance ;)
 
Hey,
Thanks for the quick answer!
Well... I was expecting that, thoug I still was hopeful hehe, thats one feature I wond be able to add then.
Take care mate!
 
Hello again, bumping this thread again to ask: OK we can't get Environment datas, but can we get other datas from a non-user object like its Speed/Velocity, location/coordinates. and an this same object Bbe "physically" affected by environment, like Wind? boved my winds.

maybe @mamu if you may know? :)

Thanks in Advance

Click to expand...
Yes you can retrieve the object data with Simconnect
(Lat/lon/alt/hdg/pitch/roll/bank/speed/velocity and so on)

By physically affected what do you mean?
Once you have the wind data you can drive some animations, basically... ehm..a windsock?

Using Simconnect you can of course set the object properties

If you can be more specific on your goal maybe it will be easier to provide some more hints
 
Hello @mamu Thank you for the reply!

By physically affected by wind, I meant that the object could move with the wind, that way, we retrieve its speed, velocity, position to get the Wind datas (Speed and direction). More precisely I try to makes a Dropsonde :)
