Set baro pressure on G1000

[Djeez]

Hi,

I can increase/decrease the barometric pressure in my Lua scripts by using controls 65883 and 65884 with parameter 1. However, in aircraft with a G1000, this control requires a parameter value 5. Is there a generic way to use these controls?

If not, I can use either 1 or 5 as parameter but then I need to know if a G1000 is present in the plane. Is there a way to find that out?

Thanks,

-Emile.

No, not that I'm aware of.

Maybe, but not that I know of., sorry.

If its just the case of using a different parameter for different aircraft, you could either use profiles, or you could maybe set the parameter to the correct value in your lua based upon something you know (or have access to), such as the aircraft name/title.

Thanks for thinking with me. My work-around is to call the control twice, once with parameter 1 and once with parameter 5. This looks weird but it does not seem to have any negative effect.
