Struggling to assign L:Var to a controller button

[Gehall1963]

Hi John;

Maybe it's my 60 year old brain but I can't seem to work out the best method to assign an L:Var to a controller button.  I have used the WASM module to confirm the L:Var name and have been able to activate the L:var to confirm it does what I want.  Where I'm stuck is getting from there to something I can assign to a switch.   I have been studying the advanced manual sections on Offsets, WASM, Custom Events and Calculator Codes but nothing is quite clear.

I have tried adding an offset per below but can't figure out how to control that offset with a switch.

[LvarOffsets.Hawker Hunter]
1=L:StarterMaster=0xA000

Any help would be much appreciated, I am a huge fan of FSUIPC and use it for FSX and MSFS.

Thanks

Glen

Hi John;

No need to respond, I have it working now, I was on the right track assigning an offset and thanks to user "mk2022" and an earlier post I now understand about the "Offset Byte Togglebits" and "Offset Byte setbits" etc that are under the Control to be set.

Cheers

Glen

First, that lvar-to-offset definition us not valid - you also need to specify the size/type. Presuming that lvar holds an integer in range 0-255 (probably just 0 or 1, no?), then add it as an unsigned byte, i.e.

1=L:StarterMaster=UB0xA000

Then you can assign your button to Offset Byte Togglebits, giving A000 as the offset and 1 (or x1) as the parameter, as explained in the Advanced User guide.

Hi John;

Yes, I did work that out and as per my later reply I now have that Lvar assigned to a switch.  I also discovered on another aircraft that Lvars are case sensitive 🙂

Thanks
