L: are variables and they have a value.
You should use fs2020_variable_write()
ex:
fs2020_variable_write("L:A320_Neo_MFD_Range_1", "enum", 3)

H: are events. They often don't have a value.
You should use fs2020_event()
Ex: fs2020_event("H:A320_Neo_MFD_BTN_ARPT_1")

Hi,


How does that custom community folder work?
Is there some configuration file around that has the path to that community folder?


Would be great if the installer could figure it out automatically,

Hi again,


I think I found out how the custom community folder works.

Would you mind downloading a new BETA from the same link again and see if it can find the correct folder.

You should be able to verify by clicking the 'details' button next to FS2020 in the installer.

That has been discussed here on the forums many times. Don't look at this when you're using a beta plugin.

I second this question.

I cant seem to get any of these to fire using fsx_event or fsx_variable_write

Code: Select all

function switch_windshldsw_callback(position)                                                 ----------------------WINDSHIELD ANTI ICE HANDLE-------------------------
  print("WndShld Ice SW" .. position)
  if position == 0 then
    fsx_event("L:T-2B_ENG_Anti-Ice_WShld_SW", 0)
  elseif position == 1 then
    fsx_event("L:T-2B_ENG_Anti-Ice_WShld_SW", 1)
  end
end
"I know just enough to break something"

Hi,

Shouldn’t it be fs2020_event?
