Support for custom Simconnect events (A32NX & MSFS)
Flybywire have recently included some custom events to support complex function for FCU like push and pull etc but their are not being identified as LVARS in the detector. When i raised the issue with the developer his comment was as under
"Those events are no local variables (LVARs), those are custom SimConnect events. Both FSUIPC and SPAD.neXt support those kind of events. Please contact the support of PollyPot software to tell you if they support custom SimConnect events and if so how to configure them."
Do you have any plans of including such events

Not all Lvars show up in the aircraft at start up. The late initialised Lvars will only show up when the data changes, i.e. you use the relevant FSU button that will cause the initialisation of the Lvar and change the Lvar's value.
If still no good, a temp work around may be to add the Lvars manually to Known Lvars.xml in Documents\GoFlight Interface Tool for the aircraft concerned and then start GIT and see if they work OK.

PS, Check the GIT Log tab for any errors and report them back to me.

Events are events whether they are simconnect or custom. They will appear in Detective unless Asobo has changed things drastically.

If so, these aren't supported yet.

I have just uploaded a new version that supports Client/Custom Events. They won't show up in Detective, but you can click the SendClient button and enter or paste a known Event when prompted. Procced the Event name with a H: for HTML Events or K: for SimConnect Events. E.g H:A320_Neo_CDU_1_BTN_1
Lua now has sendcevt function that does the same as SendClient

PS: If you manually installed the FS2020 Module, you need to download it again and replace what is there with the contents of the download as the WASM module has been updated to allow Client Event support.
You mentioned above that you were able to get the push/pull knobs working on the MCPPro panel for A320NX FCU speed, heading and altitude, using the SendClient function. Can you provide an example of what you used in the Detective and Bespoke Events? I am not having any success.
Thanks.

The latest WASM module included the code to provide the support. It might be worth clearing out any pollpot folders in your Community folder and download the GIT FS2020 Module from your account and unzip it into your Community folder.

Following your direction:
1. Downloaded and running GoFlight Interface Tool FS2020 Version 4.4.2.0
2. Deleted old and re-downloaded the FS2020 Module, then pasted directory "pollypotsoftware-flightsimio-module" to my Community folder. There is a Modules folder and two JSON files in this directory. I have no other files or directories starting with Pollypot in Community.
3. Is there any version of the Module that I should be looking for?
4. I am using MSFS Add-On Linker, but the Module is in Community and should operate normally.
5. Question: should the Events that are attempting to be accessed be added in the KnownLvars file of the GIT?
See attached screenshot.
Much appreciation for your help...
Steve G.
I don't know what the Add-On linker is.
These HTML events will not appear anywhere. The code you enter is being injected into FS via the WASM module using low level gauge tech built into FS.
Make sure there are no duplicates of the WASM module in other Community folders as I'm not sure what FS would do in that situation.

Attached is the detail of the WASM file that I download directly from My Account on the Pollypot website, using my login. The modified date is 14 May 2021 and the size is 1007kb. See attached screenshot.
Do I have the correct version?
Thanks.

I've been able to use Detective to find the Events and LVARs for specific FBW A320NX functions on the MCPPro. For the most part it is working well and I am able to use the MCPPro quite effectively for A32NX flights, although there are some occasional flakey issues.
The one challenge, however, has been the PUSH-PULL functions for the IAS, HDG and ALT. While I can control the rotary functions effectively for each, I have not been able to get the PUSH-PULL process to work for Selected and Managed flight. I have run Detective for each, created Bespoke Events that mimic the resulting specific Events and LVARs, but I still cannot get the PUSH or PULL to function. I also tried the Custom Events mentioned in above posts, such as "SendClient H:A32NX.FCU_ALT_PUSH" in a Bespoke Event but still no luck. I did download the Pollypot module that Steve provided for MSFS2020 into the Community folder, and its the latest version.
I'm probably missing something but still continue to try and figure out how to get the PUSH-PULL to work. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thx.
