LVAR for FD pitch / VS => dec works, inc not?

MatzeH84

Hey there, first of all: magnificent update, and finally flying in FS24! :)

Most of the stuff I had already assigned to my custom hardware, but I'm running into issues with two things, both with the same cause I guess.
To adjust the FS pitch knob, I use:
L:F28_MCP_PITCH-CMD_Rotary_Switch=inc
L:F28_MCP_PITCH-CMD_Rotary_Switch=dec
as a Macro for FSUIPC. The second one works, each step (button press) decreases the FD pitch. Increase however does NOT work. I also played around with the
L:F28_MCP_PITCH-CMD_Rotary_Switch_INC
variable to no avail.
Same story goes for the new VS selector on the modern altitude selector panel. Does anybody know how to handle this, so the variable may be increased?
Please only with reference to FSUIPC.. thanks a lot!

I've been trying to find a way to control the VS selector too. The only LVAR I can find that changes is F28_MCP_VS_Sel which I can use for my displays but changing this value doesn't work. Really need to find the LVAR for the actual selector control...

EDIT:
I have managed to get the VS selector working by directly binding my hardware to INCREASE AUTOPILOT REFERENCE VS and, of course, DECREASE AUTOPILOT REFERENCE VS respectively in MSFS' own control options.

EDIT 2:
I have now found that the Simconnect LVAR AP_VERT_SPD_SEL can be increased or decreased by 1 to achieve the VS function too!

A value of 70 corresponds to a vertical speed target of 0, so you can use this for a 'push to level off' button, too.

Have you found a way to drive the new alt selector wheel? I spent 2 hrs yesterday achieving pretty much nothing - had it working fine on V1 but it seems to be a different var for V2 :-(

Alt selector is working fine for me, same input as before.
I'm more interested in the FD pitch knob.. Decrease works, increase not. A dev input would really help .

Thanks guys for this interchange. I have quickly set up the new AP with this help.

I have noticed many knob animations on this plane and the other JF planes do not have animations tied to the values. But if you want to adjust the altitude, I use K Events: "K:AP_ALT_VAR_INC" and "K:AP_ALT_VAR_INC". This is if you use something like Spad.Next or Mobiflight.

As for the four VS buttons, these are the LVARs for them, in order from left to right:

LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_1_BUTTON
LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_2_BUTTON
LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_3_BUTTON
LVAR:AP_PRESELECT_4_BUTTON

Changing the values of those to 1 will "push" the button.

I found the solution. Within FSUIPC, set the inc variable to 100 instead of 1, then, the value is increasing.
