Welcome to
Microsoft Flight Simulator’s SDK Q&A Platform!

Hello forum,
we are developing an extra tool for the simulator.
We search the right variables for the calculating the flightplan.
We want the names like. BERDI, GTO etc.
And the start airport and the end airport.
We cant find any right variable.
Anyone have an Idea?
We work with C# and the SimConnect SDK.
not in the SDK but working for AI, in FSX they worked for user as well, so i gues they do here as well:
this.SimConnect.AddToDataDefinition(DataIdentifier.AIOBJECT_FLIGHT_DATA, "AI TRAFFIC FROMAIRPORT", null, DATATYPE.STRING8, 0.0f, 0);
this.SimConnect.AddToDataDefinition(DataIdentifier.AIOBJECT_FLIGHT_DATA, "AI TRAFFIC TOAIRPORT", null, DATATYPE.STRING8, 0.0f, 0);
Not sure about the waypoints during the flight, but check the GPS/ATC vars within SimConnect.
Ok we try some more values.
But the most variables from sdk or urs.
It crash the connection with the message, "System.AccessViolationException "
Can not read in safety ram.
As far as i see, details about the flightplan are currently only accessible from javascript inside the simulator, neither through simconnect nor with wasm.
This is beyond my paygrade, but I can at least report that SimDashboard manages to display waypoint name, range and bearing via SimConnect.
Here's a photo:
Waypoint details are retrieved from the sim by SimDashboard and displayed on a 10" android.
