• 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.

Cannot get data for some HSI variables

Hi all.

I cannot get data for the following:

HSI BEARING VALID
HSI BEARING

Here are my definitions:
hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINE_ID, "HSI BEARING", "Degrees");

hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINE_ID, "HSI BEARING VALID", "Bool");

I've tried flying aircraft equipped with an HSI in order to get values, but
no data is present. It looks like the other HSI variables have data. Can anyone else reproduce this?

Thanks,

Bryan
 
In case anyone wants to know, the SP1 SDK includes an explanation:

HSI BEARING
"If the GPS DRIVES NAV1 variable is true and the HSI BEARING VALID variable is true, this variable contains the HSI needle bearing.

If the GPS DRIVES NAV1 variable is false and the HSI BEARING VALID variable is true, this variable contains the ADF1 frequency."

~~~~~~

My thought...I have no idea why they decided to tie an ADF frequency to the HSI BEARING variable. Totally misleading to me.
