What I did instead of unused SimConnect variables was create a simple XML gauge where I'd introduce new LVars.
FSUIPC can write to them, Air Manager will find them as "available LVars".
You can see this in my instrument "Vertical speed indicator / VSI with traffic display for ATR-500" in the store.
This sample XML code will create 3 user defined variables in an FSX aircraft. There is no declaration, they exist just by being used.

Why would you need FSUIPC?
Yes, I am also interested in why. ?
Well ADD-ON software developers use FSUIPC interface with the for developers available FSUIPC Offsets.
They wrote coding round those offsets which i can not use.
I know things are changing with new versions and all, but so far i am missing functionality and still have the need for FSUIPC
Can you provide a small example with the specific data that you are trying to interface to. The aircraft dev’s snippet may help also. I’m not a huge FSUIPC user but I thought every offset was mapped to a simvar. If this is the case you just need to know what the simvar is for AM to be able to work with it.
Well i am trying to create a TCAS display.
There are no simconnect variables where i am aware of for fsx/prepar3d to plot the lon/lat position of ai aircrafts.
In fsuipc there are offsets.
So lvars are an option, but i am unfamiliar how to create a gauge for use with lvars

With LVars my "project"of creating a TCAS screen finally has made some progress.
It seemed i did not placed the xml gauge in the right (sub) folder.
So after correcting this the TCAS Lvars are present!!
