@Bam2000 I couldn't find the variable for flight altitude and landing altitude I am afraid. My solution to get this to display on my overhead panel was to note that what the default value iFly sets this to on aircraft load ( I think it's 32000 for flt alt and 0 for landing alt) and made my own local variable that initialises to that value. Then when I move the knob, I both send the command to the sim and also update my own local variable... It can loose sync if you're not careful...

I am not sure which software you are using but here is the general idea of how i achieved this: To set the position lights to strobe and steady I would send the LVAR VC_Miscellaneous_trigger_VAL to 30 then set a small delay then send LVAR VC_Miscellaneous_trigger_VAL to 30 again. Think of this as clicking the switch up twice. You need this in case the switch is in the steady position you need to move it to the OFF then to the STROBE position. To set the position lights to steady I would send the LVAR VC_Miscellaneous_trigger_VAL to 31 then set a small delay then send LVAR VC_Miscellaneous_trigger_VAL to 31 again. Think of this as clicking the switch down twice. You need this in case the switch is in the strobe position you need to move it to the OFF then to the steady position.

😆For the record I think Axis and Ohs is an exceptional product which I also own 😁

As I understand it - this is the wrong LVAR to trigger this switch. You are adjusting the object animation only this way. As I understand it to adjust the aileron trim you need to trigger L:VC_Flight_Control_trigger_VAL to either a value of 28 or 27. Im not sure which value does left specifically but 28 corresponds to scrolling your mouse wheel UP whilst over the switch and 27 to scrolling it down. Hope this helps 🙂 PS when you use the LVAR in this way, you will both see the animation and hear the sound. BUT you may need to script multiple events to deal with things like switches with guards over the top 🙂

Thank you so much for this post! It pointed me in the right direction to getting this set up!!! Thank you thank you thank you! The functionality can be easily achieved inside of Spad.next also (my program of choice). In my mind each unique value for a particular Lvar is associate with type of click on a switch. So some switches like the battery, need to be left clicked once to turn on (the cover closed behind it automatically) which is calling the Lvar:VC_Electrical_trigger_Val at a value of 8. Whereas to turn the battery switch off you need to right click pause and right click again to first open the cover then move the switch to off. In this case you call the same Lvar:VC_Electrical_trigger_Val but to a value of 7 then a pause of 100ms followed by the same again and voila! The XML file posted above lists them all. I simply search for what the tooltip is for the switch in the cockpit then a little trial and error for things with the same tooltip might be needed - although they seem to be organised underneath the appropriate animation code, so you can also use that to determine the values to plug into the given Lvar! Hope this helps anyone else just as the above post did for me!!! :D
