Thank you so much for your help! I got it working. The returned number was indeed a problem, and I had to handle it by rounding. I also had created my own logging but didn't include it in my function I posted. So using the one already there that you showed is easier and great to know about. I am posting the final function here in the hopes it helps someone else down the line. SimVar("(A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC, Degrees)") SimVar("K:HEADING_BUG_SET") function PFD_HDG_SYNC() local curhdg = SimRead("(A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC, Degrees)") curhdg = math.floor(curhdg + 0.5) Log("K:HEADING_BUG_SET:" .. curhdg) SimCommand("K:HEADING_BUG_SET:" .. curhdg) end

Thanks for the reply. I have been trying to get the lua scripting working, and I cannot figure out how to read "A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC" successfully. It always comes back 0. Here is my script. It does write the 0 correctly to the Heading Bug. If you could point me to my error, I would greatly appreciate it. SimVar("A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC") SimVar("K:HEADING_BUG_SET") function PFD_HDG_SYNC() local curhdg = SimRead("A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC") SimCommand("K:HEADING_BUG_SET:" .. curhdg) end

Hello. Just learning StreamDeck and Pilot's Deck. I have familiarity with simvars. It has been great learning, but now I am stuck on how to add a command to a Display Value I have called Heading. I can display the current heading using (A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC, Degrees) in the Value area and Variable address. However, what I want to do now is click on the button and have it sync my heading bug to the current heading. I can go into the Commands area and set Command Type to K-Var and the Command Address to a fixed value like HEADING_BUG_SET:15. But how do I replace the 15 with the current value of PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC? Everything I try just doesn't seem to work. Thanks for any help.
