• 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.

Engine Type Enum

Hi all,

I'm writing some tools in VB.Net (C# examples are fine too) and have a question about Engine Type Enum.

In the SimConnect API reference it states that there's an enum of 0,1,2,3,4
but instead of those I've found the enums to be

Piston = 0
Jet = 1065353216
None = 1073741824
turbine = 1077936128
Unsupported = 1082130432
Turboprop = 1084227584

I set Engine Type as 'enum' with SimConnect_DataType.Float32. Is this correct?
 
If you treat those values as 32bit integers, and consider only the high order words, the values make a little more sense.

I have had similar nonsense returns in C++ when I used float type instead of double. Maybe try Float64 datatype?
