Black Square Analog Baron Fuel Pump Lvars
-
Is anyone able to point me to the correct Lvars to use in the Black Square Baron B58P (in FS2020) to handle the input from the two electric fuel pump switches in my DIY cockpit?
I am binding my switches using SPAD.Next or in FS2020/Options/Controls otherwise, but I am finding the naming of these things sometimes a bit too cryptic for me to imagine what actions they fire off to the sim.

I can upload a profile when I get home in a couple of days, may I ask what controllers you use?

I'm not sure what you mean by "controller". I think my answer should be "None".
I have built a cockpit in which I have replicated the pilot's side of the 3D image you see in the Baron in FS2020. So I have physical switches connected to a Leo Bodnar board (BU0836X) and I am using SPAD.neXt to handle the switch inputs for me.I have been busy researching and have got it working satisfactorily. I discovered that I have to turn on the correct electrical circuit as well as switch the pump on.
“A:CIRCUIT SWITCH ON:4, bool”, and “A:CIRCUIT SWITCH ON:5, bool”
So, for the left pump switch:
“Set LVAR:VAR_FUEL-SWITCH_PUMP_1 to #"; where # is the state of the switch. 0=Off, 1=Low, 2=High.'
and Set CIRCUIT_SWITCH_ON:4 to 1 (or 0 for off)
For the right pump switch:
Same as above except use “Set LVAR:VAR_FUEL-SWITCH_PUMP_2” and
for the electrical circuit use “Set CIRCUIT_SWITCH_ON:5 to 1” (or 0 as appropriate)
Everything is now working as it should.
Cheers!
