FS2020: Windshield Heater (Deice) Simconnect Variable

#1 Post by FarmerTom »

Maybe i am just blind, but i cant find a variable or event to switch on the Windshield Heaters in FS2020 Documentation link in AM4 beta.
Is this just not there yet (not yet made available by Asobo/MS), or am I looking in the wrong place?

Kind regards,
Tom

Could also be that it's unlisted, but you would have to find it somehow. You can try their forums.

Hi Ralph!

Thanks for the Tipp! A simple search instead of a new post showed up the following on the Flightsimulator Forums:
Most of this was investigatet by aparsons671:
https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/ne ... ent/192573

undocumented Events or Variables:
EVENTID:
“GLARESHIELD_LIGHTS_SET”, 0/1
“GLARESHIELD_LIGHTS_ON”
“GLARESHIELD_LIGHTS_OFF”
“WINDSHIELD_HEAT_SET”, 0/1
“WINDSHIELD_HEAT_ON”
“WINDSHIELD_HEAT_OFF”
"TOGGLE_EXTERNAL_POWER"

VARIABLE:
“LIGHT GLARESHIELD”
EXTERNAL POWER AVAILABLE (Bool)
EXTERNAL POWER ON (Bool)

Something i struggled with:
VARIABLE
"ELECTRICAL MASTER BATTERY" is actually "ELECTRICAL MASTER BATTERY:index" for multiple batteries.

EVENTID
"TOGGLE_MASTER_BATTERY:index"
