Programing hardware for Auto Throttle disconnect switches?

Featured Replies

Greetings. 

Was wondering if there was a list Vars and Events to enable my hardware to control the L-1011? Looking for the inc/dec AFCS Alt knob in particular.

 

Thank you in advance.

Sounds like a plan. Thank you very much Vrishabn.

That would be very useful, as a lot of us are trying to figure things out.  I am seeing that making a switch move doesn't trigger any actions in the plane.

What MSFS2024 command can we use for the Auto throttle disconnect switches for the L-1011?

I tried the AUTOTHROTTLE DISCONNECT in 2024 but it doesn't work.

cant find the ap disconnect, or toga bind thats on the yolk

+1  I've played around with SPAD and can get switches to move but they have no effect - as above AP Disconnect/TOGA. I also found the AP wouldn't engage.

It's really strange that there are no variables for integration!

For example, when the MD11 TFDi was released, all the variables were available right away!

I don't think there are kvars yet, i've been using this in mobiflight and it works well enough for me

0 (>L:SWITCH_AFCS_AT)
(>H:AUTOPILOT_SWITCH_AFCS_AT)
(>H:AUTOPILOT_SWITCH_AFCS_AT_0)

Vrishabn, Any update on the Vars list?

 

Thank you kindly. 

 

John 

Yes, a list of lvars would be very helpful.

 

I have got some functions working. For instance the hdg uses just the basic sim connect bug up/down command, but does anyone know what the variable is so I can get the heading to show on the stream deck plus.

Cheers.

Anyone know the lvar for altitude display please. 

Here are all the other displays:

Altitude: ALTITUDE_SETPOINT_0
Vertical speed: INI_VS_PID_SETPOINT_2
Auto throttle: INI_AT_TARGET
NAV 1 Course: CPT_HSI_NAV_1_COURSE
NAV 2 Course: CPT_HSI_NAV_2_COURSE

Edit:   Once the rest of the autopilot bugs are fixed, I plan to share a snippet (for those with Spad Next) to operate this plane using a boeing MCP.
