Just need NAV frequencies to finish

[ZenMusic]

I have a freeware app (C# MSFS) almost ready to release .. I just need to read and set NAV frequencies and IFR etc.

public void GetNavRadioStates()
{
if (!bRequestNav)
{
//NAV FREQUENCY
simconnect.AddToDataDefinition(DEFINITIONS.NavRadio, "NAV ACTIVE FREQUENCY:1", "MHz", SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.FLOAT64, 0.0f, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED);
simconnect.AddToDataDefinition(DEFINITIONS.NavRadio, "NAV STANDBY FREQUENCY:1", "MHz", SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.FLOAT64, 0.0f, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED);
simconnect.AddToDataDefinition(DEFINITIONS.NavRadio, "NAV ACTIVE FREQUENCY:2", "MHz", SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.FLOAT64, 0.0f, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED);
simconnect.AddToDataDefinition(DEFINITIONS.NavRadio, "NAV STANDBY FREQUENCY:2", "MHz", SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.FLOAT64, 0.0f, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED);
//NAV HAS GLIDE SLOPE
}
simconnect.RegisterDataDefineStruct<NavRadioStruct>(DEFINITIONS.NavRadio);
simconnect.RequestDataOnSimObject(DATA_REQUESTS.NavRadioRequest, DEFINITIONS.NavRadio, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_OBJECT_ID_USER, SIMCONNECT_PERIOD.SECOND, SIMCONNECT_DATA_REQUEST_FLAG.CHANGED, 0, 0, 0);
}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 1)] //Radio
public struct NavRadioStruct
{
public double Nav1;
public double Nav1Stnby;
public double Nav2;
public double Nav2Stnby;
}

This only returns 0 (zero)
I have tried the other data types in the Data Definition ... can someone point me to a solution in C# ... or C++ (i'll try to translate)
thanks!!

EDITED FLOAT64

Have you tried "MHz"? Just plain "MHz"? That's the unit that would be typically useful. Also, this would definitely be a float value, not an integer.

thanks, using the Watcher doesn't receive anything with any format, but now in my program I am getting data .. it looks like 1.7837484758 needs to be converted (if the data is correct) I used float64 and stored it in a double

 

[WarpD]

You're telling it to update only when the value has changed, you're declaring it as an integer, when I doubt that it actually is, and you're telling it to store the integers in variables of type double. You're crisscrossing everything with the different declarations. Unless something is explicitly an integer value, you should use doubles. You should always request the value in the proper unit for your use. This will also require the use of a callback function to process any data returns.

 

[ZenMusic]

yes, I only want it to send updates to my callback

This is what works for COM frequencies

simconnect.AddToDataDefinition(DEFINITIONS.Radio, "COM ACTIVE FREQUENCY:1", "MHz", SIMCONNECT_DATATYPE.FLOAT64, 0.0f, SimConnect.SIMCONNECT_UNUSED);

returned to double

my attempt using UINT was from a very old post I found here

update: Now I have it mostly working with the FLOAT64 and double , still looking for ILS
thanks

The variable NAV HAS GLIDE SLOPE:index would provide whether there is ILS or not. It is a bool value.
