Missing Documentation of LVars and stuff

Black Square · wrote on 19 Dec 2023, 21:49

Lemney's settings should move the switches in the cockpit, to the best of my knowledge. Using the K:Events will only work for some switches, but now that B:Vars are available in 3rd party products like Spad, those should be used whenever possible. Let me know if you're still having difficulties, and I can look into it.

I use spad, for it. Every switch works perfect exept for propeller deice.

I just tried the B:Var in the debugger, and it flips the switch. Try:

(>B:DEICE_Propeller_1_Toggle)

and if that doesn't work, try using:

([0/1] >B:DEICE_Propeller_1_Set)

I Will try and post a screen shoot

I just double checked and tried it again and can confirm

with 1 or 0/nothing switches the prop deicer on an off and moves the switch.

The SimConnect

only changes the lamp (and I assume the deicer) but not the switch.

Thanks so much all of you, that did the trick

Is it possible via Spad and Streamdeck to ”close” the flashing orange MSG GPS?

And also via Spad and Streamdeck to switch the middle button Nav to desired nav source?

Thank in advance

I don't know out of my head the exact event, but I have bound a Streamdeck button to CDI (that switches the main HSI from Localizer to GPS and back) and it is working with all Versions (530, 750 PMS and TDS) I can look into it later.
And the Master Caution and Warning I have also bound... But I don't know if the MSG Lights are similar. I will tell here if I find something.

Would be great if you could help me out Lemny

@kaptenek

The CDI are easy to find in SPAD. They all working. I

I use there two on my Streamdeck button:

For the MSG alert

did the trick.

This is wonderfull… Thanks

While that might work, I recommend setting L:var_gpsMessageButton1Latching or L:var_gpsMessageButton2Latching to 2. The other variables are internal to their GPS products, but the ones above are specific to my aircraft, so I can guarantee how they will behave.

Lemny · 20 Dec 2023, 22:27

@Black-Square
ah, ok... I was also messing with L:var_gpsMessageButton1Latching, but not tried 2, I tried 0 and had no luck. :-)
This is definitely the better solution... thnx

Works like a charm, btw is there away to also open and the rear door? Open/extract stair/retract stair/close door
