LVARs for Doors?
-
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to program my Stream Deck via SPAD to toggle the doors on the Arrow but am having difficult identifying which commands or LVARs trigger each of the doors. Is there a chance someone might know these and could share?
Thanks so much.

The Arrow III has three controls that need to be activated to open the door:
Lower Latch: 'DOOR_LOWER_LATCH'
Upper Latch: 'DOOR_UPPER_LATCH'
Armrest: 'DOOR_CLICK'For future reference, you may be interested to know that there are tools available in the simulator if you would ever like to find LVars yourself.
If you go to MSFS Options > General Options > Developer, enable 'Developer Mode' and load a flight in the aircraft. Once loaded into a flight, move your mouse to the top of the screen and on the black menu bar, go to Tools > Behaviours. With this menu open, move your mouse over any control in the cockpit and press [CTRL] + [G] on your keyboard. This will then populate the LVAR name into the "Component Search" field in the Behaviours window.
Hope that helps.

Thank you. Armrest seems to be what I was missing. Do you happen to know the same for baggage door and oil door? I’ve tried the Dev Mode/Behaviors route but have been unsuccessful there.

Apologies for the belated reply. I've asked our development team about this, and unfortunately, it's not possible to control the baggage door/oil door via Lvars. The variables for these are stored entirely within the WASM gauge, and only the Lvars relating to the animation positions are written out as Lvars.
We'll log this on our internal feature request tracker, though, to see if we can add additional Lvars for the baggage door/oil doors.

No problem, thanks so much for the follow up and your help. Much appreciated.
