• 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.

Setting L variables in missions?

Is it possible to set a L XML variable in a mission that a gauge can read?

For instance, say I have systems in my aircraft that MS don't model by default and I want that system to fail at a prescribed time in the mission. My gauge code can check the value of an L var and use that to change the behaviour of the system, but is it possible to get the mission system (perhaps by editing the XML rather than using the Object Placement Tool) to set the variable?

Thanks,

Si
 
Unfortunately that is impossible. You'd have to use simconnect to exchange data or try to use the vars that are available for prop triggers.
 
Poop..

Thanks Thorsten.


EDIT: Actually, I've just read up on the SimConnect mission trigger support and it does exactly what I need. Since I use a SimConnect client in my C gauge it's a perfect solution. Thanks for pointing it out.
