• 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.

Radio Event

Hi all,

i can't find the event which allows to select nav1/2 or adf1/2 as rmi indicator.

After some investigations i tried to find events attached to RMI by using FSUIPC logs console.

Unfortunately when i switch the RMI between VOR1/2 or ADF1/2 there are no events displayed in the console (other events on other gauges work fine).

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help.

There are no events to select NAV1/NAV2 or ADF1/ADF2.
It's a matter of reading the particular variable you want. You need to use some type of local variable to select the one you wanted.

NAV RADIAL:index
ADF RADIAL:index

Thanks for your reply

Not sure I understand.

When you select ADF1/2 or VOR1/2 on the RMI Gauge of a 182 for example how the RMI gets the good radial given by the frequency of the NDB or VOR station choosen.

I thought there was an event when you choose VOR1/2 or ADF1/2 on RMI gauge which gives the good radial but obviously not.

Would it mean the RMI gauge reads the NAV/ADF Radial values and i can't interact with it ?

Thx for your help

The gauge is using an internally declared variable. When you click on the gauge's mouse area, the gauge toggles the internal variable:

int x = 0;

void __stdcall MouseFunction()
{
x = !x;
}

if ( x == 0 ) {read VOR1}
if ( x == 1 ) {read VOR2}

:eek:

Ok, if I well understand, it means i can't make an external radio/gauge program which can tune the rmi displayed in FSX on VOR1/2 or ADF/1/2.

Right ?
 
You might be able to get around it. If the RMI guage is XML then you could change the variables it's displaying from A: variables to custom L:variables, and then create yourself a new hidden (null graphic) gauge that sets that L: var to either the A: 1 or 2 variable depending on an outside condition, like a custom event.

Thanks for your Help Simon and Ddawson.

I needed to understand the logic of RMI Gauge and the ability to control it or not from an external program.
I understand its not possible.

This gauge has its internal mechanism with no events to control it in the api of simconnect.

I found another way to build my program. :D
