Q400 Some fake Lvars pushing wrong buttons

SlayerSlayer
in GoFlight Interface Tool - Technical Support
EFISdata_->EFCP_controls2.button_WXTERR_pressed is pushing the FUEL SYS button instead of the FO WX/Terr button.
EFISdata_->EFCP_controls2.button_FORMAT_pressed is pushing the DOORS SYS button instead of the FO Format button

etc.

Far as I can see these haven't changed at all through the releases, maybe just some typos in the hard coded fake lvars? I haven't checked all of them but it looks like after a certain point the wrong data being sent

    I have the values 109325 and 108088 respectively for this fake Lvars which are correct according to the CRC Generator software from MJC.

    Do you know if these are only failing on the P3Dv4 version?

    They are doing the same in the FSX version. Using the raw code with MJC_VAR_WRITE_CODE does work, but the values needed are baffling and not all modes can be selected. The spreadsheet does not provide the value data.

    So, two things. I need to fix the bug in the GIT module for these fake lvars and MJC need to tell us what values are needed.

    According to the latest spreadsheet those two buttons are just bytes. Send it a 1 to push the button then the aircraft resets it back to 0 automatically. There is quite a bit more info in that spreadsheet (including values its looking for)but the last update was December 2016

    I got more details from Oleksiy, he indicated the varlist distributed is updated and accurate. To quote Oleksiy:

    "For example, it is technically impossible for the EFISdata_->EFCP_controls2.button_WXTERR_pressed variable to call the Fuel page

    My guess would be that the user is not utilizing the synchronization protocol properly (not waiting till the interface is free to process his
    request)"

    Cheers, Rob.

    New version is now up that has had q400 support over-hauled and now appears to work OK across all version of flight sim. Let me know if you find otherwise.

    Best wishes
