Hello, my first post here.
I looked at this post in FAQ
https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/5977-some-key-hardware-vars/

However, I tried setting autopilot speed and altitude using the events indicated (AP_SPD_VAR_INC and DEC, AP_ALT_VAR_INC and DEC) using Mobiflight with my DIY autopilot panel, but they don't work at all, used as shown below (I get no response from the simulator):

(>K:AP_SPD_VAR_INC)
(>K:AP_SPD_VAR_DEC)

(>K:AP_ALT_VAR_INC)
(>K:AP_ALT_VAR_DEC)

On the other hand, I am only able to set those by using the Lvars: 

1 (>L:A310_AIRSPEED_DIAL_DN_COMMAND) 
1 (>L:A310_AIRSPEED_DIAL_UP_COMMAND) 

1 (>L:A310_ALTITUDE_DIAL_DN_COMMAND)
1 (>L:A310_ALTITUDE_DIAL_UP_COMMAND)

these work Ok, but there is no way to accelerate the increment and if you turn your encoder fast, some events get lost and the movement pauses for a few seconds.

I am missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Heya!

I asked someone on the dev team about this, as I personally don´t know the answer. As soon as I have an answer, I´ll let you know 🙂

Thanks a lot ! With your help could manage to use the DIAL_UP and DIAL_DN in SPAD.next. Confirm that described vars in the forum do not work.

Thanks so much

Hello @gumbyger

Bumping this after 10 days.  Any answer from the dev team?

Thanks

Hi, with sapnext I use these LVAR

A_310_AIRSPEED_DIAL

A_310_ALTUTUDE_DIAL

A_310HEADING_DIAL

A_310_VVI_DIAL  as v/s speed

And it work fine

 

Hi @Jaime Leon I checked your LVARS on HubHop for the A310 but some LVARS are not present on my spadnxt current lvars.  Example the AP_8Button.  I only have AP_&7 and 9.  How do I add these? Thanks so much for your contribution.

Hello @janspeed
Sorry, but I don't use Spad.Next, just Mobiflight.  I think you need to enter the event code somewhere in the Spad UI.  We already have over 700 events cataloged for the A310 and all for free.

Regards, Jaime

Hello, yes, those Lvars work but if I turn the knob fast, it appears the buffer gets overloaded and my the sim autopilot display freezes for a few seconds.  This doesn't happen in other airplanes.

Thanks. i have added the lvars and it works now. Would u know the specific lvars for the IRS to switch to NAV? I could not seem to find it. Thanks so much for all the effort. 

@janspeed

Try for NAV position = 1, OFF = 0, ATT = 2

1 (>L:A310_IRS1_STATE)

The rest of the IRS State knob variables are also in Hubhop.

That works! Thank you so much! @Jaime Leon

Hi @Jaime Leon Sorry to bother again but would u know the LVAR for the GALLEY "shed" button?  Seems like it isnt listed yet.  I have seen a L:A310_GALLEY_POWER_ON but does not seem to work.  Thanks.
