Looking for Alt Preselect variable to display on my MCP hardware
-
Hello. I am configuring my MCP hardware to control as many autopilot functions as I can. I have not been able to find the Altitude Pre-select variable so I can show that on the Altitude window on my hardware. I can increment and decrement it fine with H:ALT_AltitudeSelectKnob_Inc_1 & H:ALT_AltitudeSelectKnob_Dec_1 respectively, but unable to find the value of the preselected Alt that in the manual. I have also tried to see it in the Spad Next Data Monitor but it doesn't show up. I did find LVAR:bksq_AltitudePreselect_1, but the value doesn't correspond to the pre-selected Alt.
Any help in this would be great!

Looking at the code, I would think L:bksq_AltitudePreselect_1 should do the trick... I'll try it myself later and let you know.

This registers a number - but it's nothing I can trace to what it would be.

As in, you're getting a weird number out of it that doesn't look like an altitude? We've been discussing that here, if you want to try some things and join in.

@Qazme It’s the altitude in meters! Multiply by 3.048 to get feet.

@intjmastermind Interesting! I'll try that when I get home. Then it should be easy with Spad Next built in converter. Thanks!
