Simulation Variables
There are two classes of simulation variables: aircraft and global data. The following tables list all the variables that can
appear in XML based gauges, or used from the SimConnect APIs.

Notes (Gauges)

Aircraft data is referenced by A: in XML gauges. Some parameters take an index to determine which of a multiple of
system is being queried. In XML gauges the syntax for adding an index is :N, for example:
FUEL TANK SELECTOR:index

Notes (SimConnect)

Simulation variables are referenced from within SimConnect clients with the SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition call
(see the SimConnect document for full details). When the units are listed as a structure or as a string, enter the empty
string, or simply NULL, in the units parameter of this function call.

For example:
hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "Kohlsman setting hg", "inHg"); hr =

SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "Indicated Altitude", "feet"); hr =

SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "Plane Latitude", "degrees"); hr =

SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "Plane Longitude", "degrees"); hr =

SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_2, "Category", null); \\ string hr =

SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_2, "AI Waypoint List", null); \\ structure

Unless the Units column in the following table identifies the units as a structure or a string, the data will be returned by
default in a signed 64 bit floating point value. The SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition has an optional parameter to
change this to a signed 32 or 64 bit integer, or a signed 32 bit floating point value.

Notes (Multiplayer)

When the simulation is running in multiplayer mode, only a small number of variables are communicated between
aircraft. This is noted in the Multiplayer column (All aircraft or Shared Cockpit).

Aircraft Engine Data

In the multiplayer Shared Cockpit mode the only supported index is 1, which means that the data is assumed to be
identical for all engines. In single player mode engine indexes are from 1 to 4.

Notes

1. These variables make most sense for aircraft with flight plans. If an aircraft does not have a flight plan, the value
returned will be 0 (or false), or an empty string, depending on the units.
2. These variables only make sense for aircraft generated by the traffic database, and so have schedules. If an aircraft
does not have a schedule, the value returned will be 0 (or false), or an empty string, depending on the units.
