Hello @ll,
to get you started more quickly, here a few pointers:
-
Before you connect AAO to MSFS, go to “Scrpting->Read HVARs from sim” and let it collect all HTML variables and associated tags. Once collected, they will be accessible in the group “HTML-variables” in the assignment treelist. Repeat this process after each sim update or when you get new aircraft that were made to MSFS specs
-
With all sims, after the app is connected to the sim you can run “Scripting->Read LVARs from sim”. This will collect all currently visible LVARs from the running simulator, which you will then find in the group “Local simulator variables”. LVARs are aircraft specific, so you have to do this every time you want to assign knobs or buttons to a new aircraft. The QualityWings 787 is a premium example of an LVAR-controlled cockpit.
-
More advanced ops are possible with RPN scripts, where you can also build tagged MSFS HTML variable names from their building blocks, the “HTML Tags”. That is hit-or-miss really, the scanner is not yet smart enough to figure out what combinations of tags form a valid HTML variable name.
For those interested, the prototype of the VRInsight MCP Combo bridge is available for download on the axisandohs.weebly.com website. Testers are contributing AAO templates, but making your own should be pretty easy (I hope)
Best regards
