L: variables
« on: July 01, 2019, 02:33:45 am »
I'm intrigued by this:

Quote
NEW: Added the following L: variables 3rd party add-ons can use:
FSDT_GSX_DEICING_STATE
FSDT_GSX_DEICING_TYPE
...

When you have a few, can you explain how this is used?  Moreover, where can these variables be stored such as aircraft.cfg, the aircraft config specific to GSX, etc.

Thanks!

Variables are not stored in any file. They are in your memory and can be accessed by other programs. They can call them and check the state. So you can't put those in the file, because they change in realtime, depending on whats going on. So you need some porgrammer skills and knowledge to access them. That's why it's for the developpers, to implement into their aircraft (like the FSLabs Airbus, Aerosoft Airbus). They access them via their code.
