[RESOLVED] How to read the frame rate using simconnect?

[ppp333ddd_]

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

Code: Select all

struct SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT_FRAME : public SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT {
  float  fFrameRate;
  float  fSimSpeed;
};

So I tried to read SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT_FRAME.fFrameRate as other variables which are listed in the variable table but failed. I did not find any working examples for similar situations. Thanks for any help.

Works fine here in P3D v4, going all the way back to FSX.

That structure is returned by the "Frame" event you can subscribe to via SimConnect_SubscribeToSystemEvent(). This will call your SimConnect callback with RECV_ID set to SIMCONNECT_RECV_ID_EVENT_FRAME, which in turn carries a populated SIMCONNECT_RECV_EVENT_FRAME structure that you can read the actual data from.

Hi adiemus,

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