The functions available for this API are as follows:

.
typedef int FsEventId;
FsEventsKeyEventHandler
Callback signature for the key event handler, where:
typedef void(*FsEventsKeyEventHandler)(FsEventId eventId, FsVarParamArray* param, void* userParam);
eventId
: Id of the received event.param
: values received with the event. Value can beindex
orFsCRC
. To manage this type, helper functions can be found inMSFS/Utils/SimParamArrayHelper.h
.userParam
: pointer data that will be given to the user who has register the handler
