There are two classes of simulation variables: aircraft and global data. The following tables list all the variables that can appear in XML based gauges, or used from the SimConnect APIs.
Aircraft data is referenced by A: in XML gauges. Some parameters take an index to determine which of a multiple of system is being queried. In XML gauges the systax for adding an index is :N, for example:
FUEL TANK SELECTOR:index
With engines, indexes are numbered from zero. However with communications equipment, indexes are numbered from 1.
Simulation variables are referenced from within SimConnect clients with the SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition call (see the SimConnect document for full details). When the units are listed as a structure, enter the empty string, or simply NULL, in the units parameter of this function call.
For example:
hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "Kohlsman setting hg", "inHg");
hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "Indicated Altitude", "feet");
hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "Plane Latitude", "degrees");
hr = SimConnect_AddToDataDefinition(hSimConnect, DEFINITION_1, "Plane Longitude", "degrees");

The following table gives the strings that are accepted by the SDK for units. All the strings in the same row are identical in meaning. Note that some strings have "per" spelled out, and some use "/", and note that a few contain hyphens or underscores.
When making object definitions in SimConnect, it is possible to request the units that the values are to be received in. All the units in the tables below under one heading (such as Frequency or Speed) can be used as appropriate to the client application, except those under Miscellaneous Units. See the SimConnect documentation for more details.
