• 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 am trying to modify the FSX radar to show the aircraft heading and squawk in the label of the aircraft. I don't know any of the variables although I think
Code: 
//Heading
%((C:ITrafficInfo:S:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC, degrees) )%!d! MAG

//Squawk
%((C:ITrafficInfo:S:TRANSPONDER CODE, number) )%!04d!
is close to what I need to use but I am not sure where and how to get this into the radarscreen.xml file.

I would also like to be able to get the Names for the VORs and NDBs

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

YOU CANNOT.

All the XML code does for the Radar Screen is to control, the DISPLAY OPTIONS in the RADAR dll.
There is no Option/Parameter in the dll, to enable the Radar Display LABELS to display the Squawk Code.

The names of VORS and NDB can be turned on, and is already coded into the XML. Use the VOR & NDB buttons.
they both cycle: OFF: Show VOR/NDB " Show VOR/NDB + NAME
