Simvar A32NX_PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS not recognized

[Triscus]

I'm trying to set an offset for the simvar A32NX_PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS to read it with a lua script later on. (using the FBW A32NX Mod)

When I list the lvars with Add-ons -> WASM -> List Lvars , the variable seems to be there:

A32NX_PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS = 1.000000

I added this to the myOffsets.txt (to try out different names)

// offset, size, simvar, type, units [, w]
 0xA001, 1, A32NX.PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS, I32, Bool, w
 0xA002, 1, A32NX_PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS, I32, Bool, w
 0xA003, 1, A32NX PARK BRAKE LEVER POS, I32, Bool, w

 but the Log keeps saying:

Any support on this matter would be highly appreciated.

A32NX_PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS  is an lvar, not a simvar. You need need to use the Adding Lvars to Offsets facility, described on page 46 of the Advanced User guide, not the myOffsets.txt file which is for simvars (or A-type variables) only.

Hi John,

thanks for the fast reply, now it works. Im using the lua script to control some LEDs on my controllers.

Pretty neat I can now simplify the scripting part by using profiles:
 

[LvarOffsets]
1=L:BRAKE PARKING POSITION=UW0xA000

[LvarOffsets.A320NX]
1=L:A32NX_PARK_BRAKE_LEVER_POS=UW0xA000

Cheers
