• 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.

Good day,

I have had a look at a slingshot mission content,(Opened in notepad) and I was wondering where one get the SIM VARS number

Example:
[Sim.348]
Sim=pallet_of_Boxes_sm

[SimVars.348]
Latitude=S22° 54' 34.36"
Longitude=W43° 9' 44.65"
Altitude=+000011.87
Pitch=0
Bank=0
Heading=0
PVelBodyAxis=0
BVelBodyAxis=0
HVelBodyAxis=0
XVelBodyAxis=0
YVelBodyAxis=2.6628337062733608e-073
ZVelBodyAxis=0
SimOnGround=True
OnPlatformHeight=-9999999999

[Slew.348]
Active=False
Click to expand...

Here I found a library with all the mission objects

Any help perhaps?

Cheers, Jakes
 
Is this really from April 2013 and nobody answered?

Wow.

Not an expert but I think the simvar number is assigned somehow when you save the FLT from inside a mission. Perhaps randomly? I don't know.

For example: I was running a mission where I was using The EH 101 sling to carry the Tesla coil cargo. I saved the mission at three points with three different names while the helicopter was airborne with the cargo attached. The simvar number was 1775.

Then I started a mission with the cargo unattached and sitting on the ground. The simvar number was 668.

Four digits for airborne or attached cargo? Three digits for sitting on the ground or unattached cargo? I don't know.

I am not at my computer now, so cannot check it, however I think that every AI object in a mission that is not set to "none" probably gets a simvar number, when you save the flight inside the mission. So every AI aircraft, boat, ground vehicle, or other object like cargo, would get a number.

I guess the only way to test it would be to make a couple of missions and save a couple of the same AI objects as part of the FLT file.

Better late than never? :-)
