Hi everyone!
The file PMDG_NGX_SKD.h, situated in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\SDK, suggests that there are some new variables added sometimes. Those are:
I am using C# to speak with PMDG. I have a struct of PMDG variables, however, those "new ones" appear to be missing. When I add a few of those to that struct:
When the struct is returned, those are zeros, not populated. Any idea how to fix that? This is a piece of my code:
My SDK is the same as this one:
https://github.com/maciekish/SimInterface/blob/master/Windows/SimInterface/PmdgSDK.cs
However, I've added the three variables from above at the end of the public struct PMDG_NGX_Data.
