Which variables can I use to read your custom variables Black Square?

toby23

I am working on a Stream Deck profile for the Starship, similar to my other profiles for the P180 and Comanche.

I can affect the ALT and V/S dials using the custom HVars such as H:ALT_AltitudeSelectKnob_Dec_1 but how can I read them? Normally I would use a default Asobo AVar such as AUTOPILOT AIRSPEED HOLD, Bool to read if, for example, IAS mode is active.

What are the connected variables for the following custom HVars?

MSP_Airspeed_1
MSP_Descend_1
MSP_FlightDirectorOff_1

Thank you

The image below shows an example from another profile that uses default Asobo variables.
I need to 'read' the values to be able to display them in the row where the green X is.

L:bksq_AltitudePreselect_1, for altitude, L:bksq_VerticalSpeedPreselect_1 for vertical speed, and then the rest are the SimVars that you're used to, so...

A:AUTOPILOT HEADING LOCK
A:AUTOPILOT MAX BANK > 22
A:AUTOPILOT VERTICAL HOLD
A:AUTOPILOT FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE
A:AUTOPILOT ALTITUDE LOCK
A:AUTOPILOT APPROACH HOLD
A:AUTOPILOT NAV1 LOCK
A:AUTOPILOT FLIGHT DIRECTOR ACTIVE
A:AUTOPILOT MASTER
A:AUTOPILOT AIRSPEED HOLD

There are a few more nuances that I could help you with, but that should be enough to get you started. Let me know if you need anything else!

@Black-Square - Thank you, is this the correct assignment for Autopilot buttons?

Ok, here come the nuanced ones straight from the RPN. The rest are as you've listed.

Flight Director Off:
(A:AUTOPILOT FLIGHT DIRECTOR ACTIVE, bool) (A:AUTOPILOT MASTER, bool) ! and

IAS Profile:
(A:AUTOPILOT FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE, bool) (L:var_iasHoldMode, bool) ! and (A:INDICATED ALTITUDE:1, FEET) 250 - (A:AUTOPILOT ALTITUDE LOCK VAR:1, FEET) < and

Descend:
(A:AUTOPILOT FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE, bool) (L:var_iasHoldMode, bool) ! and (A:INDICATED ALTITUDE:1, FEET) 250 + (A:AUTOPILOT ALTITUDE LOCK VAR:1, FEET) < and

Airspeed hold:
(A:AUTOPILOT AIRSPEED HOLD, bool)
(A:AUTOPILOT FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE, bool) (L:var_iasHoldMode, bool) and
or

I really appreciate you sharing these variables, thank you.

Of course! Let me know what else I can do for you!

I cannot find a way to read if IAS or DES mode is active using SimVars.

I am reading A:AUTOPILOT FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE, Bool to turn the 'green light' on for either the IAS or DES switch. Currently it turns both lights on when either mode is activated.

How can I 'read' which mode is active?

I can use RPN scripts but I cannot write them myself.

Thank you

That's what the (A:INDICATED ALTITUDE:1, FEET) 250 - (A:AUTOPILOT ALTITUDE LOCK VAR:1, FEET) < and... sections of the code above is meant to do. It simply looks at whether the preselected altitude is commanding a climb or descent from the current altitude.
