[SU9 - SDK update] key events - multiple arguments - WASM and simconnect triggers

SimConnect:

  • Key events that use multiple arguments can now be triggered through WASM & SimConnect.

Per the April 28 blog update - Is there an SDK documentation update to this? Does this mean that what is used in RPN can be somehow emulated in WASM and Simconnect

Keys - these permit you to change the state of a component. Keys can have one or two arguments and are called as follows using the RPN format:

[0] (>K:[key_event_name])
[1] [0] (>K:2:[key_event_name]

Below are two examples, one with a single argument and the other with 2 arguments:

1 (>K:TOGGLE_EXTERNAL_POWER)
50 1 (>K:2:PANEL_LIGHTS_POWER_SETTING_SET)

Hi there,

The weekly update lists the topics on which the team worked in the previous week, which usually means the mentioned fixes and/or new features will be available in the next SimUpdate.

This is the case for the support of key events that use/require multiple arguments through SimConnect: the work is done but support will be provided through SU10 and its SDK.

I guess we should specify the ETA in this weekly report.

Best regards,

Eric / Asobo

Hello @DA40CGDFQ

And to answer your question on the feature itself, yes the goal is to pass multiple parameters when calling events, using the gauge and SimConnect APIs.

Sylvain
