I'm programming a Windows Form C# to read and write some parameters into the new MSFS2020. Im trying to read the frequencies from the simulator with the help of SimConnect, but I can't get any number that makes sense... (At least not for the frequencies and the Transponder code, literally all that is coded in BCD16 and BCO16)
I already looked at some examples but I wasn't able to understand them. One of them said, that removing
would fix that problem, but every time I try to remove that line the code gives out an error...
Is there another way of making sense of the numbers I'm receiving?
