Access environmental variables #21

Closed Nordicdesign closed 1 year ago

Nordicdesign commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Is it possible to access the environmental variables like ZULU TIME? https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Additional_Information/#EnvironmentVariables

According to this post those variables, despite not being listed in the documentation, are available as simVars via SimConnect. https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/t/environment-e-variables-missing-from-simulation-variables-docs-for-simconnect-users/6673

But when I try to read it, I receive Cannot get SimVar: "ZULU TIME" unknown. Not sure if the question belongs here or with the node-simconnect repo, happy to post it there though.

Cheers, Alex

Technically those are WASM vars, not regular vars. Still, there's some experimental code already in place for some of them, adding the rest be a matter of adding everything listed on https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/WASM/Gauge_API/Token_Vars/Token_Variables.htm to https://github.com/Pomax/msfs-simconnect-api-wrapper/blob/main/simvars/wasm-gauge-api-token-variables.js
