• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3D v4 [Answered]Get Sim-Time

Hey,

maybe I'm just blind but I haven't found a SimConnect-Call to get the current Sim-Time (UTC) I know that there are Simulation Varibales that will return the UTC-Time and the date but how do I use them in my C# App? Accessing the AI parameters and the Airport FacilityList is already working.

Computer system time? Or does it appear synced with the sim time?

I need the time directly from the sim to use it in my application. The default traffic toolbox is somehow able to display the UTC time, that's the only thing I need.

Surely there are C# examples in the SDK for retrieving simulation variables...

the time ist listed as a "Environment Variables", I know how i can access with the SDK the "simulation variables" of an SimObject, question is still can I use the same function to access ev's? Since the Methode of the API requiers the ObjectID

ok never mind: "Environment Variables" can also accessed using a SimObject - I have thought that they had an extra method for that :)
