Title: Sim event or variable?
Post by retiredflyer73 on May 22nd, 2024 at 2:37am
I am de-micing my cockpit. I am programming buttons, etc. to my streamdeck. I can't find the following sim event or variable for the following buttons, knobs or dials:

heading bug
autopilot glide or climb wheel
autopilot turn wheel

If at all possible I would appreciate it if you could tell me what these are since it will make flying so much easier not having to change windows and using a mouse. Thank you.

heading bug: L:L07_001_IND  (0 - 359)
turn control knob: L:P17_001_KNB  (from -30.0 to 30.0)
pitch control knob: L:m133_AP_target_pitch  (pitch mode must be ON)

Thank you for those and I got them working pretty well. Could you send me the "read back variable" for the "APU Start Switch"?
I can send the code to make it work but can't get a feedback variable that will operate my switch on my streamdeck.

Can you please give me the variable for the transponder? Thank You.

Please make a complete list and we'll cover it in one shot.

Interior Lights:
Pilots Side:
Flight Deck Dome
RRU

Co-Pilots Side:
Flood Overhead Panel Lights
RRU

Exterior Lights:
Nav: Flashing mode

Center Pedestal:
Sychrophase Master
Prop Resynchrophase

Upper Ovhd Panel:
Pitot Heats
Engine Inlet Airduct Anti-Icing
Prop Ice Control (All four)

Radios:
ADF (Tuning and Volume)
Transponder (Master and Code Changes)

Also if any of these use a (feedback/read) variable other than than the code to make them work please send. I have a couple that I can control from my streamdeck but can't get the correct feedback to make switch on streamdeck correspond to switch in cockpit.
Thank you for you help.

Are you willing to share you Stream Deck files?  I would love to try them out.  Perhaps I can get the autopilot to turn on this way.

Absolutely. You will have to give me some guidance on sharing. All I have left on the C-130H is the transponder and the Engine Inlet Airduct Anti-Icing. Also bear in mind that I am not an expert on Axes and Ohs and am having issues with the knobs or switches with more than two positions. I get them to work but sometimes have to have to separate placements. Tell me how I can help you.

Does that mean you don't need the list in the Reply #6 anymore?

That is correct as I've found all but the following:

Upper Ovhd Panel:
Engine Inlet Airduct Anti-Icing

Radios:

Transponder (Master)

Just need these two.

I just need the write event for the transponder. The read back A: you gave me works reading it back but it won't operate the switch. I need the K:, L:, or IE  write event.

Disregard last post. I got the A: working. Now I have everything you have modeled working from my streamdeck. Thank you.  :)

can you tell me the variable you used for the APU start light? I get it to come on after starting the APU but it does not go out as it's supposed to.
