LVARs for exterior light switches

[LukeFF]

I tried programming some scripts today for the exterior light switches but couldn't get them to work. Is there a list of LVARs that can be used with Axis and Ohs for these switches? The mobiflight page just has an incomplete list of LVARs right now.

There is an LVAR list posted here for FS2020, I believe the same should apply for FS2024 as well:

Alternatively, you can use the method mentioned further up in the post to access the Behaviours Dev menu and see switch-associated LVARs yourself live in the sim.

Thanks!

Thanks! Will check it out.

@richboy2307, I didn't see an LVAR in that file for the pedal disconnect button. Could you please tell me what it is?

I believe it is INI_TILLER_DISC with values of 0 / 1  for pulled out/pressed in respectively.

Thanks, yes, that did it.

I tried that in 2024 but I couldn't get it to work right. Did anything change with dev mode or am I just missing a step?

The Behaviours menu is a bit different in terms of layout in FS2024, with alot more options but it generally works in the same way. 

• Enable Developer Mode in settings and then open the behaviours menu from the [DEVMODE] toolbar.
• Highlight the interaction you want to inspect by hovering your mouse over it and then press 'L Ctrl' +'G' on your keyboard.
• On the [INSPECTOR] Tab, you can usually fin the affected variables under Animations or Mouserect dropdowns.
• Then go to [VARIABLES] Tab, type in the name of LVAR and use your mouse to conduct the interaction to monitor the changes in values.
• Note: The sim does not allow all LVARs to be defined by the user, but this way you can find the affected LVARs for each interaction to see the ones you can manipulate.

Thanks!

Appreciate the help again, thank you. 🙂 I did ultimately find what I needed last night by enabling the behavior debug mode and hovering my mouse cursor over the switch I wanted LVARs for.
