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

You're close ;D
The Variable Syntax is the Same as used in the Actions, so it should be:

SimVar("(A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC, Degrees)")
SimRead("(A:PLANE HEADING DEGREES MAGNETIC, Degrees)")

 

What eventually could be an Issue is the Concatenation when the Value returned is not an Integer/whole Number.
Maybe print the resulting Command to the lua.log to analyze if the Result is correct

Log("K:HEADING_BUG_SET:" .. curhdg)
