[CTD] when requestting some Sim Variables with SimConnect and helicopters

When an helicopter is selected as an aircraft, if you request one of the
variables “ELEVATOR TRIM DOWN LIMIT", “ELEVATOR TRIM NEUTRAL” or "ELEVATOR
TRIM UP LIMIT” then the app freezes then crashes. To reproduce the problem,
you can:

  1. Start MSFS,
  2. Select any helicopter and any airport
  3. Start the flight,
  4. Start the SimvarWatcher SDK sample,
  5. Add a request for one or more of the 3 variables with default unit (radians),
  6. Connect to the simulator,
  7. MSFS freezes then crashes.

reproduction steps, A fix is in the making, Regards, Boris

I did not see this post earlier when i made Subscribing to ELEVATOR TRIM DOWN LIMIT crashes sim CTD but perhaps they should be combined. Also in 2024 and latest 2020 UP and NEUTRAL do not ctd the sim. In 2020 there was a freeze for a second when subscribing DOWN and had to reconnect Simvar Watcher, but no CTD.

I double checked the other SimVars while fixing the issue you reported on ELEVATOR TRIM DOWN LIMIT - all the others had been properly implemented.

Best regards,

Excellent, i also checked the new ELEVATOR TRIM MAX and MIN, those are fine also
