Hvar Questions

[ark1320]

Hi John,

I am having trouble trying to create and use an hvar file for an addon aircraft (a mod of the default Bonanza G36). The FSUIPC7 advanced users guide says:

Hvar files are loaded if the filename of the hvar file (without the extension) is a substring match to the currently loaded aircraft.

1. Where does FSUIPC7 look for a substring aircraft name match (and I assume the substring can be located anywhere within the name)? 

    For example, the addon mod for the default Bonanza G36  is called Bonanza-Turbo-V4-1SU6 in the Community Folder, but in the MSFS aircraft selection menu is called Textron Aviation Bonanza G36 Turbo, and under "OneStore" is called asobo-aircraft-bonanza-g36.  So in this case, what would be some appropriate substrings to use as the name of the hvar file located under the WASM module folder?

2. If an empty file with an appropriate substring name match and an hvar extension is created under the WASM modules folder, will FSUIPC7 discover and populate this file with Hvars, or does the WASM module require the user to find a list of the Hvars somehow and then manually create the subname.hvar file? In other words does FSUIPC7 have the capability to scan for and discover the hvars, or do they need to be provided?

Thanks for your help with this,

Al

It will be the name of the aircraft as supplied to FSUIPC via SimConnect, which will be logged in your FSUIPC7 log file - for the default G36, it is the following:
      157250 Aircraft="Bonanza G36 Asobo"
Not sure of the name with the mod - load it and check your log file.

No, FSUIPC7 does not scan for hvars - there is no way of doing this as far as I'm aware. The whole purpose of the *.hvar files is to make the hvars for an aircraft known to FSUIPC7. FSUIPC7 only knows about hvars that you provide using these *.hvar files. Please see the Advanced User guide.
