String vars from the sim?

[Randolf 0]

Is there a way to access string variables from the simulator like ATC ID, ATC TYPE, etc. in AAO?

If I try (A:ATC ID, String) it seems to be a AAO local variable, consistent with the documentation.

Thank you.

Ah, nvm, got it working, it was a different problem.
This seems to work fine:

(A:ATC·ID,·String)·(>L:AtcId,·String)·\n
(VOICEVOLUME:30)(SPEAK:@AtcId)·\n

However, can I write these variables? In the SDK some of them are marked as settable, but code like this doesn't seem to work:

'TEST'·(>A:ATC·ID,·String)

(VOICEVOLUME:30)·(A:ATC·ID,·String)·(SPEAK:your callsign is %s1)

SPEAK can be parametrized, please check the AAO manual, the spec about SPEAK

Not at the moment, sorry. The simulator String vars have a length parameter attached to them. It seemed to complicated if the user has to supply that too. I will look into it again, maybe something can be done in one of the next versions of AAO.
