Oddly, I can’t argue with that, I was reviewing the documentation relating to Data Types and found that, despite being defined in the SimVar list, there’s no ENUM for any of the BOOL data types.
That seems such a waste of bits, using a 64-bit data type just for a boolean value.
Yeah, I know it’s a fairly minor thing but it just seems like a poor design, likely because of the many iterations the SimConnect SDK has gone through over the years.
I’d love to see documentation relating to the API protocol, so we can bypass SimConnect SDK completely and simplify (maybe even improve) our own SDK interfaces for any language.
Someone has pointed me towards a Java project that attempts to do just this, I’ve reviewing the code to see how easy it will be to port across to C variants.
