I’m not sure what software you’re using, but if it allows for interpolation, you can increase it from 0…1 over the course of 30 seconds, and the same for turning off.
It seem that ANTI_ICE_TOGGLE_ENG1 is the value to switch the inertial separator on from what I read on another thread. THat’s the only one that’s worked for me so far. I got that working. I would like to be able to display the on/off status on the button like other toggles.
None of the related variables seem to work. I’ve been through the list of commands from the XLS for the plugin and tried everythign that made sense to try. I’ve gone through the MSFS and SimConnect SDK for its values as well, and none work.
PANEL_ANTI_ICE_SWITCH returns a 0 to the button and nothing else. Doesn’t matter if it’s on or off, it always displays 0.
I appreciate these input, but unfortuinately that doesn’t work. I’m using the TBM mod. I tried with a value of 0.874, but it doesn’t shot the status on the Stream Deck button.
I removed the TBM mod, and tried with the value of 1.0. Doesn’t work either.
The switch works to switch the IS on and off, although like I said, instantly instead of a delay. I’m using the “FlightDeck” plugin. Not sure there’s a way to do that 30 second delay. I suspect that’s how it’s coded in the actual TBM when you hit the cockpit switch - it delays for 30 secs before actually activating the command or ramps it up / down slowly for 30 seconds.
Don’t know if by now there are solutions out there for this (I haven’t fully kept up with this subject for a while), but I finally found a way to trigger the actual cockpit switch (including the 30s buildup) with a StreamDeck button. I got it working by using AxisAndOhs which can discover and read LVARs and HVARs. There is indeed an LVAR for the switch (XMLVAR_InertSep1_Switch), and by using AAO’s Streamdeck plugin you can easily map it to an SD button, works great!
There also seems to be an LVAR for AP Trim (and maybe others), haven’t tried this out yet but that’s the next I’m going to look at.
I’ve been looking for a command for the AP Trim/Disconnect button in the TBM 930 to be able to assign it to a button on my physical yoke. Someone pointed me in this direction, were you able to figure out how to map/assign that button in the TBM 930?
Sorry, I haven’t pursued this any further, shortly afterwards I discovered the WT CJ4 and haven’t flown any other aircraft ever since…
It looks like the switch is defined in TBM930_interior.xml (search for XMLVAR_APTrim), but at the time I couldn’t immediately figure out how to trigger this
Hi
Can you say how you mapped the stream deck button for inert?
Only just stumbled on stream deck and axisandohs and am using the mobile version of stream deck for the tbm930 and loving it. Thanks
Cheers mate. I have found the lvars for the inert on axisandohs, but don’t know how to use them on streamdeck. Can’t seem to find tutorials how it’s done? Thanks
Update:
After a couple of hours messing around with AXISANDOHS, I managed to find out how get the Inert Sep switch to work on streamdeck (switch on and off) on panel.
Create OnOff Switch in Streamdeck from Lorby-SI AxisAndOhs plugin.
Write event: L XMLVAR_InertSep1_Switch, Number
On value: 1
Write event: L XMLVAR_InertSep1_Switch, Number
OFF value: 0
Read variable: L XMLVAR_InertSep1_Switch, Number
ON value: 1

Would someone mind posting a screenshot of a script for AXISANDOHS that actually works for this? I’m trying to use it to bind a switch on my Bravo throttle quadrant to the inertial separator and I’m not having any luck.
FWIW the Anti Ice On and off functions are purely cosmetic. it might show in the MFD and PFD but the separator does not actually deploy.
You can see that by looking at LVARS:XMLVAR_INERTSEP1_Deployment and Active. You can also detect reduced operational performance when really deployed and can track it in the debugger if you care to deep dive on it.
