A320 Battery

[kingm56]

Has anyone found an offset or control to manipulate the MSFS A320s batteries?  Offsets 3102 and 281C have no effect; interesting enough, control 66241 (TOGGLE_MASTER_BATTERY) can toggle batteries off, but not on.  I've tried all the other controls in the Controls List for MSFS Build 999.txt file too. I've event tried to set the LVAR "A320_Neo_BAT_State" to 2.0000; again no effect.  Hoping someone was able to find something that worked...

No, I don't think those offsets currently work for the A320. The toggle seems to change the value (from 0 -> 1 and 1->0), but when setting to 0 it quickly reverts back to 1 - so it looks like it toggles on, not off.

The lvar A320_Neo_BAT_State does seem yo be writeable. There are also lvars XMLVAR_ElecMaster  and XMLVAR_Electrical_Master_Battery_Turned_ON  which look to be writeable, but they don't seem to do  much - maybe you can check.

It was reported here: 

that you could possibly read the battery states:

Both A320 Battery Push Buttons are a bit more tricky:

For the left battery Push button:
First, set SimVar BUS LOOKUP INDEX to value 10
Then the state of the left battery can be read at indexed SimVar BUS CONNECTION ON:6

For the right battery Push button:
First, set SimVar BUS LOOKUP INDEX to value 11
Then the state of the right battery can be read at indexed SimVar BUS CONNECTION ON:6

However, the simvars BUS LOOKUP INDEX  and  BUS CONNECTION ON:6  are not currently held in any offsets.

Also, the master batteries in the A320 UI are inoperable. For full control of the A320, you should really try the FBW mod (see https://flybywiresim.com/).
