    Hi,

    I'm trying to set up my Stream Deck+ for the TBM 850 and have issues identifying the required LVARs for setup in Stream Deck application with Pilots Deck plugin.

    For example to trigger the Left Landing Light button, I have found and set up LIGHTING_LANDING_1 (0;1), however this does not successfully trigger the button.

    Am I missing another Lvar that needs to be set in parallel or any other special setup with this aircraft that prevents successful binding?

    Thanks for your support!

      If you got "LIGHTING_LANDING_1" from page ~135 of the manual, you will see that it's actually a B:Var, which is Asobo's new method of interaction that may not be accessible from all 3rd party applications. I always offer an alternative to the B:Vars underneath for this reason. In this case, it's the event "K:LANDING_LIGHTS_SET". I hope that answers your question, and the rest is easier from here. Let me know if you have any other questions!

        Thanks, I didn't see the alternatives from the manual. I also have to admit that I'm totally unexperienced with hardware binding setups and PilotsDeck so any help is appreciated.

        I now set up LANDING_LIGHTS_SET:1. However this way I can turn the left light ON but not OFF:

        This alternative by using the Toggle function does not work either:

        Maybe the monitoring address is wrong?

          Following this because I'm very interested in being able to address KVars like that with something I'm trying to do with Starship.
