• 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 Create event attached to a SimVariable?

I see the available Sim Events defined in the SDK leave a lot of possibilities. There is a lot of Sim Variables that could use a notification/event attached to them.

Is it possible somehow to define my own event that would notify me of changes to a sim variable? For example, I want to be notified when there is an engine fire (ENG FIRE sim var), or something like that.

THe SDK documentation leaves a lot to interpretation.

Why wouldn't you just monitor the variable value in your program and raise an event in your own program rather than wanting FSX/P3D to raise the event?
You can request variable data at whatever period you choose.

You can also set up your Request so that it is triggered only if the variables in it change value.
