I know now - the sim var is "CG PERCENT "

As titled. I can't find a sim var reflecting central gravity. Can I read it? thanks.

Hi adiemus,

Thanks. And I also found an SDK example called Managed System Event which is very helpful.

Hi, Does SimConnect provide a var for users to read the frame rate of P3D? In var list I cannot find it. I only found a structure struct SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT_FRAME : public SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT { float fFrameRate; float fSimSpeed; }; So I tried to read SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT_FRAME.fFrameRate as oth...

Hi Rob and Jonathan,
yes you are right. a negative "value" can be converted to "4294967296-value" and for example -1 is 4294967295 which is 0xffffffff.

Hi, On the web, it says for the event KEY_STEERING_SET , sets the value of the nose wheel steering position. Zero is straight ahead (-16383, far left +16383, far right). But the definition of the API public void TransmitClientEvent(uint ObjectID, Enum EventID, uint dwData, Enum GroupID, SIMCONNECT_E...

Hi Rob,

I got this when I use another thread for connection. Then I used the same thread but got a AccessViolationException:"Attempted to read or write protected memory" and I deleted 'simconnect.dispose() & simconnect=null' and it seemed to be fixed.

Kind regards,
Jeff

In my C# program, I remotely communicate with P3D (server and client in different PCs), I connect to SimConnect automatically and recover automatically if there are connection problems. For the first few minutes it works fine, but then it can't recover. In the code it is still trying to recover but ...

Hi maxaero, thanks you are right.

Hi, I need to set the ambient temperature and wind. I have searched for sim vars and found the weather and wind info can be read but not settable. The only way I can imagine is to set the METAR. Also, I found the API I need to read METAR data from is WeatherRequestObservationAtStation , but I have t...

Hello,
1. Can SimConnect set the volume in P3D?
2. In P3D, Options-Controls-Realism-CRASHES AND DAMAGES can set the flight mode (if the plane could crash). Is there a way to set/unset it using SimConnect?

Thanks.

Hello Rob, The plane in the sky will drop onto the surface of the ground/sea depending on the scenary. I am doing a "repositioning" for the plane - say 3 nautical miles before landing. Before setting the altitude, I simply do 3 events to pause the game, set the plane's attitude and reload ...

Hi, I am using C# to set the airplane altitude. sim.SetDataOnSimObject(DEFINITIONS.Altitude, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, SIMCONNECT_DATA_SET_FLAG.DEFAULT, Init.Altitude); In some "pause on" situations it will fall down with unknown reasons and that often make the plane crash when...

Hello Mike and WarpD, SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE_INT32 is also not working. It causes an exception. As for the speed, I don't know if it is a correct description but I cannot do backward movement - a negative value cannot be assigned to the event parameter and the value added by int.MaxValue also doesn't w...

Hi, 1.I need to set the speed when I do the push back. But I can't use TransmitClientEvent function to set "KEY_TUG_SPEED" as a negative value, say -20 since it is an "uint" type value, nor does (uint.MaxValue-20) work - if set to (uint.MaxValue-20), the aircraft nose will rise a...
