Do you mean Hvars? And if so why is the title of this topic 'Lvars'? K-type variables are events, B-type Input Events, etc.

You can use both H (HTML) and L (local) type vars in FSUIPC7, either directly or using presets / calculator code.
The easiest way to use hvars is via calculator code really. There is no actual way to discover the available hvars for the loaded aircraft, as there is with lvars, so the way this works in FSUIPC7 is that you have to let FSUIPC7 know which hvars you want to use by providing a *.hvar file (some are included as an example). This is documented in the Advanced User guide, under the WASM section. Once a hvar is known to FSUIPC7, you can use it either in a macro or a lua script.

But these days almost everybody uses hvars via presets (calculator code). You can define your own preset to trigger a hvar: in the myevents.txt file, e.g.
     Trigger_My_Hvar#(>H:hvarName)
Then assigning to the preset 'Trigger My Hvar' would trigger/set the hvar ' H:hvarName'.

See the documentation for further information. Also take a look at the available presets in the events.txt file as many of these will use hvars. You can find available presets by pressing the Find Preset button in the assignments windows once Select for Preset is selected/checked.
