Missing LVARs for numerous switches
-
Hello, while trying to setup this wonderful addon via SPAD for my various devices I have found a list or switches which either don't have the proper variables listed or are missing. What this means is I have a problem where I can turn something on but the switch isn't reflected in the sim, or even worse, I have no way to bind those controls at all to devices because the VARs are not exposed.
So far this is what I've found:
Switches that can be set but don't reflect position in the cockpit
- EXT Power
- ENG ANTI-ICE 1&2
- CROSSFEED FLOW (Has position 7 but 144 isn't available)
Switches that have no VARs that can be set
- INVERTER 1&2
- ELEC HEATER
- AFT BLOWER
- CABIN MASTER
I plan to try and finish the rest of the cockpit I haven't gotten to tomorrow. (Finish up anti-ice and small misc)
If a full list of custom LVARS could be published and their usage that would be absolutely wonderful! At the least fix these missing ones would be great too!
Thanks for all the work!

From the developer...
'Yes, more convenience features for home cockpit builders were added in the last update. As it stands, all features of the Analog King Air are compatible with external hardware. Since the Analog King Air does not using WASM, all code for control bindings is accessible in AnalogKingAir.xml. For specific questions, please contact support, and they will direct the question to me. I haven't had a request that wasn't immediately possible yet!'

@meh1951 see below for details on some of the information you may be looking for (KA setup)
Pitot
Crossfeed
Brake Deice
Ext Power
it works sometimes, but sometimes not - still trying to figure out what the problem is.Ext Power On - this sequence will power on but no switch movement
Ext Power Off
Stall Warn
Cabin Master
Avionics
For Avionics Off use the same code just set VAR_AVIONICSMASTERSWITCH to 0
Eng Anti-Ice
Set LVAR:XMLVAR_INTERSEP_L to 1 (Anti-Ice ON)
Use LVAR:XMLVAR_INTERSEP_R for Right Eng Anti-IceAft Blower
Elec Heater
Inverter
It's like a toggle command, use the same sequence to turn it OFFI hope it helps you!

Hello Anderson
Further to my previous post, I've figured out why it wasn't working! I put "Yes" for end of processing and now it is working very well
