Hi
Here Discord is the better place..... Specially in case there are high advanced users there who do this already and can guide you.
To clearify your confusion with all the new stuff just a short info.....
1. MF Variables.
These are our awnser to the FSUIPC Custom Offsets!
Its used to "store" informations we build ourself..... E.g. the Khz/Mhz self build Encoders to save monney for a dual Encoder. There we write e.g. "1" or "0" to a custom Offset to define if we are in the Khz or Mhz mode..... NOW we no longer want to use FSUIPC, so we also have no access to the Custom Variables we use in the past like a "Memory slot"
In easy words.... MF Variables are simply free "slots" we can store Data..... Same way like FSUIPC Free Offsets. We can Write them with INPUT Configs and we can read them with OUTPUT Configs..... And we can do some more adcvanced things i will explane in a Guide in the future
2. Simconnect (FS2020) Variables are the new "Offsets" ..... But with a little difference.
In FSUIPC most Offsets was R/W Means you could READ them ( For a Output) and you could also WRITE them ( In a Input) ...... For sure there was also ReadOnly and WriteOnly Offsets..... but most was working both ways.
So you could use these Offsets in the Past also for Inputs most of the time.... And As alternate lots of Things ( E.g. PMDG) use "EVENT ID" . That was pure INPUTS as you remember.
In FS2020 and the new WASM System this is splitted.
Simconnect Variables are the Outputs ! Like Offsets in the past! ...... BUT We no longer make Inputs with them. These are READ ONLY !!
The "FS2020 Events" is the Input side..... Here we can make Inputs and tell the sim what it should do..... BUT Here ( same like EventID in the past) we can never read them.
The "Custom event" just mean you can Enter Code Yourself...... the List instead include premade Events.
In easy words....
Instead of FSUIPC Offsets you now use 2 Things....
Input: FS2020 Events ----------- Output: Simconnect Variables
