P3D v4 P3D V4 visibility conditions

[RED COOL]

Hello
i to make a simconnect app that set a var in the SIM and in the modeldif.xml i set the code to show if this var is true
well it didn't work , i got some problems but i think i know how to fix them

well, i wanted to make something native without custom vars, so i tried to make an obejct that shows when it rain (simobject not a scenery) but i can't know why it doesn't work

here's my code

  <PartInfo>
    <Name>test</Name>
        <Visibility>
            <Parameter>
                    <Code>
                    (A:AMBIENT PRECIP STATE, mask) 0x0004 == if{ 1 } els { 0 }
                    </Code>
            </Parameter>
        </Visibility>
  </PartInfo>

i tried this too but same result

  <PartInfo>
    <Name>test</Name>
        <Visibility>
            <Parameter>
                    <Code>
                    (A:AMBIENT PRECIP STATE, number) 4 == if{ 1 } els { 0 }
                    </Code>
            </Parameter>
        </Visibility>
  </PartInfo>

hope you help me with it

and yeah, Can we apply those vis conditions to scenery obejcts in BGLs ? and what about the somconnect set custom var, does it exist

thnx in advance

    <PartInfo>
    <Name>rain</Name>
    <Visibility>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>
          (O:Weather.AmbientPrecipState, mask) 4.0 == if{ 1 } els{ 0 }
        </Code>
      </Parameter>
    </Visibility>
  </PartInfo>

can you explain why did you use the O: instead of A please

 

[Christian Bahr]

can you explain why did you use the O: instead of A please

I can only assume that A variables work with simobjects. While E, O, and P variables work with BGL objects.

I use simobjects that's the problem

 

[tgibson]

Have you tried it?

 

[RED COOL]

yes, it doesn't work

Pay attention to the slightest difference in what is written in the xml.
Yours says, for instance, els { 0 } where it should be els{ 0 }.
Also, see the sticky where you will find more info. If not, everything will have to be explained twice (although for me to get to the bottom of it, it would be better three times).

here is again the code just copied it from @rhumbaflappy

    <PartInfo>
    <Name>bpw_test</Name>
    <Visibility>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>
          (O:Weather.AmbientPrecipState, mask) 4.0 == if{ 1 } els{ 0 }
        </Code>
      </Parameter>
    </Visibility>
  </PartInfo>
