• 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.

Hi there!

Pretty straightforward question, but can someone please explain the difference between all these types of variables, specially between LVAR and SimVar?
I'm familiarized on using SimConnect with SimVars that are documented on the SDK, but I also see a lot of people mentioning LVARs and I don't find any official documentation on the difference between the two.

KR,
Fergo
 
LVAR is a local variable in XML model behavior code. LVARs are defined by the developer and their name can be whatever you like.

(L:Hi_Im_A_local_variable,number)

SimVar is an A or E variable. Simvars are defined by the sim and allow the developer to read the values of the aircraft and environment variables.

Code: 
(A:PROP RPM:1,rpm)

HVAR is a HTML variable. These are used in XML model behavior code to trigger an event in a HTML gauge.

Refer to variable types on this page:
