• 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.

Reading variables from FSX - getting started

Hi,

I have built custom hardware for use with FSX using AutoHotkey. When a button is pressed I send the respective key to the sim. This works fine.

For a more reliable operation I would like to read from the Simulation Variables within SimConnect.

E.g. the pitot heat hardware switch is in the on position => check sim var and if it is off, send the key via AutoHotkey.


So all I need is a little program that will read the variables and store it in a file or the clipboard where I can access it with AutoHotkey. What do I need and how do I get started?

Any help is much appreciated.
