• 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.

ROTATION VELOCITY BODY X giving absurd numbers

Messages

Hi,

I'm doing a C# app and after an "AddToDataDefinition" and "RequestDataOnSimObject" at each "SIMCONNECT_PERIOD.VISUAL_FRAME", "ROTATION VELOCITY BODY X" with "FEET PER SECOND" unit as "SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.FLOAT64" gives me all sort of numbers that aren't reflecting what's in the sim. I have compared the values with SPAD and they really don't match. The variables are sent a "Struct" as a result of the data request, stored as Double.

Anybody knows something I don't about those values?

Regards,
Keven
 
The units for rotation velocities are angular units/sec, not linear (feet) per second. The feet/sec is a bad typo in the SDK.
