• 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.

PMDG 772 on .SFS2024 title field is used for many liveries

It seems that on MSFS2024 the title field is now unique for the major variations RR, GE, and PW, but not to the different liveries undee them.

Any way to the the name, ui variation or anything like that, so I can uniquely identify the livery / reg number?
 
I don't do MSFS2024 but have you tried ATC MODEL, ATC ID, ATC AIRLINE and ATC FLIGHT NUMBER for any of the other information? If some or all of those are not available, put a bug report in because they should be there.
 
I did, I see what they did though.
They added a livery variable to aircraft variables.
I will try to use that.

Does simconnect allow connecting to a lower simulator version?
 
You should be okay as long as you don't ask for something that doesn't exist. If you know what is in (say) MSFS2024 that is not in MSFS2020, putting a try-catch (or similar) around that piece of code will prevent crashes. Additionally, IIRC, MSFS2024 will now let you read external files so you can try reading the data directly from the aircraft.cfg file (needs C or C++ code). At the end of the day, that's exactly what SimConnect is doing to get the aircraft descriptors anyway.
