LVARs for the MCP(autopilot)
-
Hello, I am currently working on an RJ100 profile for my Streamdeck XL, and I have managed to set up the entire overhead panel etc, but I am running into a few issues, specially when it comes to selecting Course, Heading and Altitude.
When using the developer mode in the sim, I can see LVARS for MCP_SPEED_SEL_INC(and DEC), and the same for V/S, so it's easy for me to assign INC to one button, and DEC to another button(1 for on, 0 for off). But Course, Heading and Altitude don't have an corresponding INC and DEC LVAR, only a value that goes from 0 to 99(and then back around), so now my poor autopilot panel looks like this:(
So my question is, am I missing something, or is this a feature(by not having INC and DEC LVARS) or are they missing by accident?

Here's what I use with my devices (WW Airbus autopilot and Streamdeck + with knobs) and Spad.Next. This all works without any 0-99 limits/wrapping. There probably are LVARS I could use for CRS instead of the VORx_OBI_INC-Event, but I copied this profile from some other plane and it works, so I left it as-is.

Yes, so the problem is, because I don't have the streamdeck with the turning knobs(only buttons), it doesn't seem to work. It will only increase the heading by one, and then decrese it by one(so only swapping between 2 values)
I did have a work-around where I have assigned the default MSFS values for increasing/decreasing Course, Heading and altitude to keys on my keyboard, and then have hotkeys on my Streamdeck "pressing" those keys. It's a mess, but it works. Wish I could just use the LVARs instead, but alas
-
That's weird because turning a knob one notch and incrementing an LVAR by one should be the exact same as pressing a Stream Deck button and incrementing the same LVAR. Hmmmmm..... I'll try to reproduce this maybe later today. Are you using SPad.Next or something else? I only know Spad.

Thank you Steve for your testing.
I am using FSUIPC(eventhough I have been advised not to), but I do have AAO's, so I guess I could get it to work through that. I was more as a mental challenge to use FSUIPC and its limitations.
Is the programme you are using spad.next?
But my question still stands, why isn't there an LVAR by default in the plane that has these values as INC and DEC
