Can anybody please tell me how to toggle the MSFS2024 EFB using AAO? I usually bind the action using the Controls in FS2024 setting to a convenient button but there doesn't appear a way to do this in AAO. There seems to be no Event/Variable that will do what I want. 

I am evaluating the demo version before buying and like the axis settings very much but I need to be able to assign all my usual buttons and not use the MSFS2024 Control settings.

MSFS2024 Control settings.

The control settings in the sim, and what AAO is allowed to do through the simulators SDK, are two entirely different things. They have nothing in common, even if many items have apparently similar names.

The challenge with AAO is to find out how a certain button/lever/clickspot/whatever actually works in the sim (= by analyzing its behavior code using the MSFS developer mode) and then replicating that in AAO. There is no easy, "click and forget" way to achieve this, unless you download ready made script collections for example from flightsim.to. In MSFS 2024 in particular, the aircraft developers are increasingly using Input Events, which make life a little easier, because they appear in the lists in AAO too. But there are still teething problems with those. 

Also, be aware that none of the camera events work. They are still in the SDK documentation, and thus also in AAO, but they never worked, from the beginning of MSFS until today. You have a certain measure of control by using the new camera variables, but no panning/tilting.

In this case, the EFB is controlled by an LVar, and can be operated using these scripts:
Show tablet: 
0·(>L:1:XMLVAR_3D_EFB_HIDDEN,·Number)

Hide tablet:
1·(>L:1:XMLVAR_3D_EFB_HIDDEN,·Number)

Toggle tablet visibility
1·(L:1:XMLVAR_3D_EFB_HIDDEN,·Number)·-·(>L:1:XMLVAR_3D_EFB_HIDDEN,·Number)

Hi Lorby-SI

Thanks for the rapid reply. Your explanation all makes sense and shows how difficult it has been for you navigating through all the ASOBO/MS jungle!

I have used your scripts and thanks all work well on aircraft with an immersive EFB but not the majority which just have a popup 2D screen. I guess I'll have to be satisfied with that 😉. I'll try evaluating it a little more but I think I will be buying it.

Popups require mouse interaction. This can be done with virtual mouse + keyboard events (select camera - position mouse over the instrument - virtually press Alt GR + mouse button) 

This can be seen in action and code in the WebFMCs vol.2, where the app automatically pops out the CDUs
