• 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.

FSX Read XML variables through simconnect ?

Hi,

Was wondering if it is possible to read XML variables as created using the

registered_named_variable

macro (think you XML guys call them "L:" variables ?), can be read through simconnect. I have created a dll module and now I want it to be able to communicate with the rest of my panel/gauges!

I have tried using:

hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, TEST, "L:TestVariable", "number");

and then

hr = SimConnect_RequestDataOnSimObjectType(hSimConnect, REQUEST, TEST, 0, SIMCONNECT_SIMOBJECT_TYPE_USER);

But that doesn't seem to return anything usefull. Note that standard FSX XML variables work well using this technique...

Can anyone help me out here ?

Thanks,
Björn
 
Just a short check? Did no one ever get this to work or is this the kind of data that people don't want to share? Or is this just a stupid question ?

As far as I believe, you can't get to Lvars like that. I'm surprised you say it works with Avars, if you mean you're preceding them with A: in the SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition call.

The only way I know to pass them to an out of process simconnect client would be to do so via an in-process client in a gauge dll and a shared client data area.

Hi Simon,

Reading Avars is without the preceding "A:" you are right, I never even tried with the "A:".
