SDK documentation errors (Units > Angles)

Version: 1.6.9

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Low
(Low - quality of life, workflow optimization, rare enough to not impact production, etc…
High - critical but workarounds are available, important feature not working as expected, frequent enough to impact production
Blocker - prevents from working on the project, prevents from releasing the product)

Marketplace package name: if applicable

Context: What package? When editing or mounted from Community? In main menu or in flight? etc…

**Bug description:**In the “Angles” section of the SDK there are some errors in the text that need correcting.
Under radian, the radian is described as a unit of temperature! (Should be “angle” of course)
Under grad, the grad is described as being equal to 100th of a right angle, but then erroneously given the value 90 degrees or 1.5708 radians!! (Should be 0.9 degrees or 0.015708 radians.
Also, when stating the units for a simvar, there is no number format given for the stated unit (for instance, are radians required to be 32 or 64 bit floating point, what size of integer is required for whole number parameters). This info is necessary, and makes programming a lot easier!

Repro steps: Read the SDK!

Hey @SlipperedDave ,

Thanks for reporting the documentation problem, it has been logged on our side.
For the second part, the best way to know if a var is 64 or 32 is to launch the debug SimConnect Inspector.
In the Data Definition Category, you will find all the SimVar Watcher requests and their types:

Best regards,
