So I purchased AAO so that I could use it with my Xtouch mini I was trying to get hdg, vs, alt,spd  working with the default acs  with little  success. Only hdg and VS seem to be working here. What I have done is as follows.

1.Run aao as admin. Before connecting with msfs ->Scripting-> Read Hvars and Bvars from msfs.

2.Run msfs and run read lvars from sim

3.Hopped in the cockpit of the latitude

4)Alt-tab-> aao assigned buttons, add, keydown event, HEADING_BUG_DEC (device xt mini, assigned button/key chn :10 EVT: 3002 turn_left)

5) Did the same as above but for HEADING_BUG_INC)

6) save

 

Same procedure for VS. The heading and vs functions work flawlessly.

 

When I try to do the same for ALTITUDE nothing happens. Nada. It just does not work. I used AP_ALT_VAR_INC   and AP_ALT_VAR_DEC   for the altitude.

 

Any tip?

Thanks

The AP_ALT_VAR_INC/DEC events require 100 or 1000 as value, they won't work if you just leave that at "1". The little number box to the right of the Key Down/Up selection boxes.

Furthermore, you cannot rely on the default events. In MSFS practically every aircraft does things differently. You will have to look into how to utilize LVars, HVars and BVars and RPN Scripting.  The "Read,,," features are only an assistance so you can find those easier - that is not enough to actually utilize them. Especially the procedure to access BVars is a lot more involved - please check the AAO manual.

Or you search online, for example the flightsim dot to site, if somebody already made an XT template for the aircraft that you want to use.
