Hi,

I’m getting a different version number returned by simConnect compared to the one displayed in the title bar or FS2020.

I’m using this data from simConnect from the SIMCONNECT_RECV_OPEN event:

dwApplicationVersionMajor|Double word containing the application version major number.
dwApplicationVersionMinor|Double word containing the application version minor number.
dwApplicationBuildMajor|Double word containing the application build major number.
dwApplicationBuildMinor|Double word containing the application build minor number.

That has never matched AFIK.
