Can't change LVar value

[Ygor Montenegro Araújo]

Actually i can change it, but the LVar gets reset very quickly:

#!/usr/bin/env lua

ipc.writeLvar("L:EmbBatt2", '1')
value = ipc.readLvar("L:EmbBatt2")
ipc.display(value)
ipc.sleep(5000)

I ran this code using a keypress, and instead of remaining on position 1, it rollsback to position 0.

Gif may have cutted some frames..

Then that is the way the lvar works. What switch/function for what aircraft are you trying to assign? Have you checked the MF HubHop resource to see if there is a preset available?

I'm using the Feelthere's E190 for P3D V5. Trying to switch the position of BATT 2 from OFF to AUTO but it seems that something is forcing the switch back to OFF. Never used MF HubHop.

No, sorry - that resource is for MSFS2020, and not relevant to P3D aircraft.

Try activating logging and flip the switch to Auto in the UI to see if any controls/event  are logged. Maybe you need to use an event in conjunction with setting the lvar value. And check what the lvar value is when the switch is in the auto position. Other than that I can't really advise as I don't have this add-on.

I've found a var named "EmbBatt2" with "Click" in the end. If I set to "-1" it reduces the position, and if I set it to "1" it increases the position.

I will have to set a routine via lua in order to the LVar correspond to the switch position, not the ideal, but is a beggining.

Hi!, do you manage to make it work?

The easiest way to control an lvar (in P3d with FSUIPC5/6) is to use a macro - see the documentation.
