Feature request: LVAR for cabin brightness

Featured Replies

First of all, congratulations on the A220 release! It's a fantastic aircraft and I'm really enjoying it.

One thing that really stands out is the attention you've given to the cabin. Interactive window shades, tray tables, overhead bins and even the lavatories make it feel much more like a living passenger environment than most aircraft in MSFS. It's a level of immersion that's genuinely appreciated.

I have one feature request that I think would complement all of that work.

Would it be possible to expose the cabin brightness control as a writable LVAR (or similar external variable)?

I know there is already an automatic cabin lighting option available through the EFB, but exposing the brightness control externally would enable customizable automation. Companion applications could, for example, dim the cabin automatically during line-up for a night departure, adjust lighting based on local sunrise and sunset, or implement airline-specific lighting procedures to create different passenger experiences.

You've already done an excellent job exposing many aircraft systems through LVARs, making integration with external tools straightforward. It would be fantastic to see that same openness extended to cabin-related controls as well. Since you've already invested so much effort into creating such an immersive cabin, having external control over the cabin lighting would elevate that experience even further.

Thanks for considering it, and thanks again for creating such an impressive aircraft!
