• 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.

hi..
I have a problem on triggering animation on Nav value when using PMDG 744 aircraft since it doesn't have ordinary radio stack like other default aircraft in FS2004.I think about using other alternative so I would like to ask 2 questions.

what is user variable 1 to 5 for and what the values we could use for it ? I also would like to know where could we find the list of variables and what it's assign to ?

thank you in advance :)
 
Hi,

This are 5 variables that are free to be used by the user. So this means you can write/read your own data in them. This also means that normally they do not contain anything useful for you, unless you put it in there.

One warning, although there are 5, GMax uses 3 of them by default for storing the frame count of an animation. So we only have two that are really free (small note, CAT changes the animation so that it no longer uses these 3 user variables, but other animations might still).

You might want to check this thread, it contains the most often used ones. The different SDKs (Fs98 SDK, Fs2000 scenery SDK, etc) also list others, but these do not all work in scenery.
