How to get string data?

[flyatr]

I'm trying to get the NAV station name or any string from fsx with this code:

Code: Select all

x=4
y=4
w=600
h=20
font="-fx-font-size:20px; -fx-fill: black; -fx-font-weight:bold; -fx-text-alignment:left;"

fsx_var_676=txt_add("CATEGORY",font,x,y,w,h)

function new_fsx_data(category)
  txt_set(fsx_var_676,"CATEGORY: "..category)
end

fsx_variable_subscribe("CATEGORY","String",new_fsx_data) 

I get nothing. How to do this and what needs to be put as "unit" when the reference says "String (10)" ?

Dont know if this was a X-Plane specific Problem, but the "old" Versions of AM doesn´t work propper with Strings:

Corjan build some different Beta´s, which can handle the String DataType, now.

Perhaps thats your Problem?

Thank you. I saw that topic, but couldn't make the connection to my problem.

It's picked up as BYTE, that's not good... We're gonna investigate it.

It's fixed in the next release. It can take a few days, sorry for that. Thanks for noticing!
