• 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.

FS variables definitions: where to get?

Where to get full list of pre-fsx variables (like AIRCRAFT_PARAMS and etc.) with information about what its indicate? I had looked in all FS SDKs, but what i found - it is some superficial definitions. I also looked up in BGLC_9_Source, but i'm not sure that this list of variables appears to be full.

I think he is asking for FS2004 Bill
 
Oh, sorry, i got misprint! I wrote "fsx" instead of "pre-fsx" in my first post! I meant fs7,8,9 variables of course!!!:)

I opened the BGLC.EXE executable binary with VisualStudio's IDE. Then i expanded its RCDATA section. This section contains some .INC files with BGL macros and constants definitions. Are these definitions complete? Please, ask! Where to get miscellaneous definitions if ones exists??

Hey, people... are you just sleeping????:confused:
Click to expand...

I would strongly suggest that you are a little more polite if you want help. Also a lot more patient. Three hours since your last post is hardly a time span to become impatient and rude,


People will try and help but we all have our own lives to live. Also we are all in different times zones so are not all awake at the same time.
 
Thanks, Jon
I simply was confused why anybody "doesnt says yes nor says no" on this topic. Sorry for any rudeness if it took place.:o
 
The BGLC_9 download contains an HTML file that lists the source variables and macros... no need to further hack the executable.

You might try to find an earlier FSUIPC SDK download, as Peter probably has more insite into the innards of the sim than anyone else.

Dick, thank you very much.
I read Peter's list on offsets. But there is no offsets that interested me. These offsets/tokens from
range 0x0098..0x0230 are too being frequently referenced from bgl files, as i observed :scratchch

The FSUIPC offsets can indeed not be used in BGL commands. What you have mentioned already are the best sources around. So the BGLC_9 documentation, the FS2000 scenery SDK has some list and also the FS98 SDK might be helpful.

But there is NO completely and fully documented list. You will have to do with the pieces that are available.

Is there a specific variable you are looking for?
 
Arno, you made things clear. Greatest thanks!!!
Yes, i have encountered some variables with GUIDs that are not from 2002's MDLFMT.doc glossary. But these ones very much alike those from MDLFMT. Here is the output of some of them:
variable 0x00ca - unknown GUID 45614130-34e5-11d3-a479-00105a24d108
variable 0x00ce - unknown GUID 039b6220-34e5-11d3-a479-00105a24d108​
Found in MDL8 mdl file.
