Simvar Questions

    Hi guys,

    I'm working on a Flow Pro wheel and found most of the Simvars required for monitoring states. But I'm having trouble finding the hydraulic pressure readouts that match what is shown in the CDU via your WASM module. Are these internal variables, or are they related to 'A:HYDRAULIC PRESSURE:'?

    Cheers,

    Dean

        The HYD system is custom and not related to any AVars. I can, however, create LVars for you to use. I'll keep you posted on this.

                Hey Dean, other than Hydraulic Pressure, are there any other variables you need us to create LVars for?

                    The next target will be lights, might also be good to include a toggle for the flight model when VRS gets you down (so to speak).

                                Progress report ...

                                The Hydraulic statuses work like a charm; it's possible to only allow nacelle movement once the hydraulics are pressurised. (ie. APU - Hyd3, Engine only - Hyd 1/2 are monitored)

                                The lights seem to have something resetting the values behind the scenes. For example, setting the position lights using the Toggle Logo Lights and Toggle Nav Lights input events, the state doesn't stick. (ie. The script in Flow triggers the event, and the FSUIPC logging shows an immediate toggle event afterwards that wasn't triggered by the Flow script.). Is your WASM module tracking state separately?
