Access to Z-variables through SimConnect

Thank you very much for adding L-variable access to SimConnect.

Please add Z-variables too. Direct communication between SimObjects and SimConnect clients would simplify many things in more complex applications like the VDGS module I've developed.

Currently I am working on airport vehicle system, and again, direct read/write access to Z-variables would allow direct manipulation of model behaviors over SimConnect, greatly simplifying the overall arhitecture.
