FSX With FSX, Simconnect and VS C++. READ Simulation Variables

[Partel]

After a while I return with my homemade simulator. With FSX, Simconnect and VS C++.
From what the SDK says it is these but I don't get any reading.
From other variables that I have configured, it works.
TRAILING_EDGE_FLAPS_LEFT_ANGLE
AUTOPILOT_AUTO_THROTTLE_ARM
AUTOPILOT_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_ACTIVE
Can someone guide me. Thank you.
example:

static enum DATA_NAMES {
    AUTOPILOT_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_ACTIVE,
    AUTO_BRAKE_SWITCH_CB,
    GEAR_CENTER_POSITION,
//--------
hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(SimuConmutaGethSimConnect, DEFINITION_ComuGet, "AUTOPILOT FLIGHT DIRECTOR ACTIVE", "Bool ",
            SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE_FLOAT32, 0, AUTOPILOT_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_ACTIVE);
    
hr = SimConnect_RequestDataOnSimObject(SimuConmutaGethSimConnect, REQUEST_ComuGet, DEFINITION_ComuGet,
            SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, SIMCONNECT_PERIOD_SIM_FRAME,
            SIMCONNECT_DATA_REQUEST_FLAG_CHANGED | SIMCONNECT_DATA_REQUEST_FLAG_TAGGED);
    
    //-------------------------
                case SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_SIMOBJECT_DATA:
            {
                SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA *pObjData = (SIMCONNECT_RECV_SIMOBJECT_DATA*)pData;
                    switch (pObjData->dwRequestID)
                    {
                        case REQUEST_ComuGet:
                        {    int    count = 0;
                            StructDatum *pS = (StructDatum*)&pObjData->dwData;
                            while (count < (int)pObjData->dwDefineCount)
                            {
                                Sleep(5); //<<<<----------------------------------------------------------------
                                switch (pS->datum[count].id)
                                {
                                case AUTOPILOT_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_ACTIVE:
                                    printf("\n AUTOPILOT FLIGHT DIRECTOR ACTIVE   = %02.0f\n", (pS->datum[count].value));
                                    cuantos = sprintf_s(bufferFormat, "L04%02d", (pS->datum[count].value));
                                    break;

AUTOPILOT FLIGHT DIRECTOR ACTIVE is a boolean, so the result is either a one or a zero. Try %1d and also be sure that the autopilot is turned ON.
Same for AUTOPILOT_AUTO_THROTTLE_ARM.
TRAILING_EDGE_FLAPS_LEFT_ANGLE is in radians. If you want it in degrees, convert it using the following formula: degrees = radians * (180.0 / 3.141592)

Grateful for your response.
Maybe I didn't express the problem well or I didn't understand your answer.
My problem is that I don't receive data for those variables when I toggle the FlyDirector or AUTARM switch on or off in FSX with the mouse.
I don't go through this one: case SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_SIMOBJECT_DATA:
Not even with a BREAKPOINT, do I detect the step, with the other variables in that same group yes, with this three nothing at all.
The printf should present the literal and the data wrongly or correctly, you are right about that.
This makes me think that the problem is either poorly defined or the literals are not correct.
Thank you.

That may be your problem. Please check the spelling of the variables and make sure that you don't have any extra spaces in the names, either at the beginning of the name or at the end of it.

Since you're only showing very small code snippets... I suspect the actual issue is in the code you're not showing.

 

[Partel]

Exactly, the problem is a space. "Bool "
It is not good to do things alone, it is always better to comment, especially with people with experience.
Thanks for your help.

I would not have considered the space after the unit designation to be an issue... how horribly sloppy of L-M/Microsoft to allow that to exist.
