Here is an easy way to find LVAR's
-
I have seen a number of posts from people asking about lists of LVAR's. You can easily get a complete list by poking around in your MSFS user folder. First start a new freeflight in the F28. (Do not load a pre-saved flight.) After the sim has loaded and you're sitting cold and dark at a gate, exit out of the sim and close MSFS altogether.
Then for Steam installs, navigate to the folder:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\
Or for MS Store I believe the folder is:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Appdata\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\
where YOURNAME is your Windows login.
Open the file:
TemporaryFlight.Flt
using Notepad, Notepad++, or any text editor. It should have a file modified date of just now since it was just saved by the sim. Scroll down to the section with the title:
[LocalVars.0]
and you will see a list of every LVAR that loaded in your last flight. Mine just now had 1153 entries. This won't tell you what the variables do but it is still a treasure chest of information. (Some are misnamed, like engine anti-ice test that isn't actually test, but close enough--you'll figure it out.)
Save that file somewhere safe, switch to a different plane, repeat, now you have that other plane's LVAR's too. Enjoy.
