Avatar - Pilot on walk around mode SimVars to know it's location

Ideas
1

Dear Asobo,

Since the sky is not the limit :wink:, it would be amazing if we could determine:

A) The user is on walk around mode as we are unable to know this at the moment via the camera states.

B) The user location while it is exploring the wold in walk around mode. SimVars or Lvars or anything for this would be good, Lat/Lon + altitude ideally.

B would allow the ecosystem to start developing amazing things, the amount of ideas is just out of the scale…

Thanks for your attention,
Raul

for B, is it not already possible? My assumption when looking in devmode is the avatar is a SimObject with its own SimVars.

Seeing other avatars in multiplayer would be great too

Nope, all my attempts failed via Simconnect, WASM and JS… I always get the aircraft data not the avatar…

i second the idea, and while adding the vars, it would be could to have them writable too

I have already users asking for aeroclub/bar/some other meeting point

in VR this thing should be totally amazing!

imagine people doing the walkaround togheter, talking with each other about scenery/airplanes, living life in peace!

This is fixed in the latest build. You can read the vars PLANE LATITUDE, PLANE LONGITUDE, PLANE ALTITUDE on the avatar SimObject, and they correctly report the position of the avatar.

But how? using the user_id for the variables?

Best,

The ID of the avatar is 2. I Assume it’s always 2.

Right so after lunch and things calm down we can clarify this ID is always 2 and use it this way.
