• 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.

variable list

Hi Arno,
I'm new here and I would like to congratulate for this site.
I would need some help about variables.
Can I find somewhere a good variable list?
I'd like to do a simple flag animation with 8 frames.
The good old "0282 running bit timer" a little bit slow.
Is there any other timer variable that can be used
in a conditional display?
Thanks :wave:
 
The 5FC variable is now often used, this is also the one that GMax uses for its animations. This variables runs at 18 Hz (hence the name tick18).

If you look in the Fs2000 scenery SDK you will also find some other beacon (timer) variables listed, each running at a slightly different speed then 282. But I think that tick18 will give you the most flexibility.
 
Hi Zoltan,
You can also try 30A, 30C... They need about 6 seconds to come from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF.
Otherwise, htere are two good sources for variables used in FS:
1. scenery SDK for FS2000 (PDF file)
2. FS98 SDK as help file, with listing almost every variable in use.
BTW, there are some variables together, nvfreq, adffreq, cmfreq and there is one which I am curious about: pvfreq. What is this variable used for?

Best regards,
 
Hi Goran,

pvfreq is if I remember it correct 0C72h and that is the variable I use a lot, it is the NAV2 frequency. I don't really know what the pv stand for though.
