• 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.

Getting AI Waypoints

Has anyone been able to get waypoints via AI WAYPOINT LIST? I have not been able to get it to return anything. I am using the following:
hr_init = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(m_hSimConnect, AIRCRAFT_GROUP, "AI WAYPOINT LIST",
NULL, SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE_WAYPOINT); I also tried leaving out the SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE_WAYPOINT.

I am trying to figure out what the AI aircraft are up to and possibly direct them to do something else.
 
Never mind, found following in Simconnect Documentation for SIMCONNECT_DATA_WAYPOINT structure:

This structure can only be used to set data, it cannot be used as part of a data request.

So the question then becomes, is there any way of getting the next waypoint. I tried GPS WP NEXT LAT, GPS WP NEXT LON and that gives me all 0s.

The Traffic Toolbox map can do it, I hope this is not a case where the fact it uses a different interface is biting us.
