Hello:

I'm trying the new DCS plugin. Everything seems to work properly. As an easy start point, I'm trying to program two scripts for INC and DEC the baro knob in the standard altimeter for F18. I know that this knob is associated with the following LVAR in the F18:

STBY_PRESS_ALT

I added the LVAR. it seems this LVAR goes from a min value to a max value in increments/decrements of 1000. The inc and dec scripts should be associated to right and left assignments on my midi touch mini device. 

I'm not an expert in rpn, can anybody help with this easy scripts?

Thanks in advance

C.

Could it be this?

Code for inc: ( LVAR:STBY_PRESS_ALT 1000 + LVAR:STBY_PRESS_ALT min )

Code for dec: ( LVAR:STBY_PRESS_ALT 1000 - LVAR:STBY_PRESS_ALT max )

From LVAR: to L:

I think I got it:

INC: ( L:STBY_PRESS_ALT 1000 + Max_value min )

DEC: ( L:STBY_PRESS_ALT 1000 - Min_value max )

I'll try

Please use emails at this point, less than a handful of people currently have this plugin.

• A value that is being read from DCS appears as an LVar "(L:varname)"
   
• If you want to write something, you must do that as a BVar "value (>B:var_or_cmd_name)"

I'm not sure how that works in this case (I don't have the F18), there seem to be three items to control this "STBY_PRESS_SET_0" to "_2", and each controls a different portion of the value?

For the (L:STBY_PRESS_ALT) the DCS spec says that this is "the rotation of the knob, not the value that it controls". Make of that what you will, but I think that you will have to use the three separate variables (100, 1000, 10000) to read the data, and the _0, _1, _2 to write them back after changing them. This feels quite complex, not something that you can do with a simple/single command.

Edit: be mindful that you have AAO version 4 - you can script in JScript or VBScript if you struggle with RPN)
