Hello, in the X3 SP9 release notes under the "Features, Improvements" section it says

"Store Engine

 - Added option to use a variable or a channel as the basis for a data file name"


I would love to be able to do this, but using X3 SP9 I don't see how to do this option. Is there a check box somewhere I'm missing?

Dear Matt,


with this exact additional feature you can now use Global data variables in the "Storing" option:

The image does not show up for me. All I see is the file name and I don't see any way to view it or download it.

Dear Matt,


basically you can enter the "Unique ID" or "Name" of Global Variable, in the storing name box. You just need to put the name in quotation mark, similar as when you use variables in sequencer.

Is this only useful when using sequencer?

I figured it out. I can change it on the fly when in measure by using an "Input control" widget.
