Simconnect variable

Post by jet46 » Tue Jan 12, 2016 9:09 am

Hello, I am using Air manager for external gauges. I was wondering if there is a simconnect variable for the FS Force trim setting so that I could program the Air Manager trim gauge to display trim setting in the external panel? I tried L:FSForceTrimValue but it seems to only work when on the ground. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

You've got the right variable there. I'm not sure why you're not getting results when in the air. It's been a long time since I looked at that XML gauge. There is also a variable FSForceTrimType, which determines whether it displays "Trim" or "FSX", and FSForceShowGauge, which determines the gauge visibility. I use SendMessage (Windows API) to transmit that message, not SimConnect, so I doubt you could tap into that.
