• 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.

MSFS Trouble getting a proper way to check, if engines are running (Fenix 320)

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use SimConnect to check if the engines of an aircraft are running. I am relatively new to developing within a Flight Simulator environment.

My test aircraft is the Fenix A320. From what I understand, Fenix uses an external engine model, which might be causing the issues I'm encountering.

Has anyone here figured out which variable can determine if the engines of the Fenix A320 are running? I have tried several variables that I thought might work, but none have been successful.

Thank you!
 
You probably mean “SimVar Watcher?” You probably need to add a number. For example, instead of watching “ENG COMBUSTION,” you should try “ENG COMBUSTION:1”.
