Is it possible to read SimConnect Variables from First Officer?

Post by Godehardt »

Hello,
as the question in the title...

I have read from an Thrid Party Add-On the QNH with the Variable "KOHLSMAN SETTING MB". This works for the Captains pfd.

But how can I read the F/O QNH? I have tried it with "KOHLSMAN SETTING MB:1". And also with 2, 3 and 4... But nothing worked.

Any idea?

That should work, as long as there are separate altimeters defined for the aircraft.

The aircraft has 3 seperated altimeters but only the captains baro response. If I enter 2 or 3 as Index is gives the same number like the captain baro.

I am talking about separate altimeters defined in the aircraft.cfg. If that isn't done, then there is only one baro setting for the aircraft.
