MSFS20 Reading throttle and thrust info from SimConnect

[ZenMusic]

I'm just starting work with the SDK , I have a lot of data coming in from Simconnect but I am unable to get any data about the flight control (thrust, throttle) position or RPM of the engines (A320 currently is my focus).
tried
GENERAL ENG THROTTLE LEVER POSITION
ENG N1 RPM
GENERAL ENG RPM
and don't get any values back (0)

any suggestions or experience? thanks

Have you found a fix for this? Im having the same issue, just the input of 0, no matter how much throttle is in

"TURB ENG JET THRUST:1" ,pounds
"TURB ENG JET THRUST:2" ,pounds"

"GENERAL ENG THROTTLE LEVER POSITION:1" ,percent
"GENERAL ENG THROTTLE LEVER POSITION:2" ,percent

"TURB ENG JET THRUST:1" ,pounds
"TURB ENG JET THRUST:2" ,pounds"

"GENERAL ENG THROTTLE LEVER POSITION:1" ,percent
"GENERAL ENG THROTTLE LEVER POSITION:2" ,percent

I've used these too, but what did you do to get the throttle lever position to show the actual throttle position?

 

[ZenMusic]

double dValue = (double) data.dwData[0];

pbrThrottle1.Value = dValue; (0-100 50 for 50%) and for A320 -1 to -20 max reverse (ProgressBar C# Minimum -20 Maximum 100

decimal throttlePercent1 = (decimal) dValue / 100;

decimal throttlePercent1 = (decimal) dValue / 100;

Can you explain whats going on in the first line? the data.dwData[0], I cant seem to find a c++ equivalent

 

[ZenMusic]

the data is received here

private void SimConnect_OnRecvSimobjectDataBytype(SimConnect sender, SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA_BYTYPE data)

in this data type

public class SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA_BYTYPE : SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA
{
public SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA_BYTYPE();
}

that is inherited from this

public class SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA : SIMCONNECT_RECV
{
public uint dwRequestID;
public uint dwObjectID;
public uint dwDefineID;
public uint dwFlags;
public uint dwentrynumber;
public uint dwoutof;
public uint dwDefineCount;
[VariableSize(TypeMember = "dwDefineID", CountMember = "")]
public object[] dwData;

public SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA();
}

so the dwData datatype varies depending on the data type returned and then must be cast to the necessary type .. in our example a double
(you create a switch statement to handle each Type )

or you can use OnRecvSimobjectData
void SimConnect_OnRecvSimobjectData(SimConnect sender, SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA data)


set a breakpoint in the debugger in that function and look at the data returned (before you do the cast)

can someone fluent with this expand on this ? any corrections? (I am a fluent c++ programmer, but only using c# so far in the MSFS SDK )
