Is there a way to obtain Xbox gamertag via Simconnect/wasm?

does not seem to be a way in the SDK

@mamuDesign

There isn’t and there is no plan to provide this for now - I believe last time we talked about it there were concerns regarding privacy. There’s no legal expert in the SDK Team so when we’re told things like this we usually dismiss the feature we were thinking about. :stuck_out_tongue:
I’ll ask again just in case.

Best regards,

Thanks Eric!

I was just looking for a simple way to enhance a multiple user experience with Xbox users

The gamertag shouldn’t be no secret since it is spawned over the airplane in normal multiplayer sessions with a giant label :slightly_smiling_face:

No rush about this, I will go the hard way of creating some kind of interface

our solution is to host a ‘multiplayer’ server with a simconnect client used on each of our players. The ‘UI’ is via a browser which has the advantage that info can be brought into the game via panels or overlays. I guess vatsim is a similar implementation. The killer features of our multiplayer support are (a) a real-time multiplayer map and (b) real-time race-position reporting which requires custom calculation for gliding as the guy at the front is not necessarily in the lead. Unusual for a multiplayer AAA game to have no multiplayer API but it is what it is.
