Controls assignments
In addition to default control assignments, our aircraft is using custom variables and events to manage all its systems.
Custom variables are called L Vars (prefixed with “L:”) and custom events are called H Events (prefixed with “H:”).
If you have external hardware and you are using specific software like FSUIPC or SPAD, you can assign buttons or switches to those variables and events.
In order to see custom variables related to the aircraft, you need to enable Developer mode (general options) and go to Tools > Behaviors > Local Variables on top menu bar. All custom variables are prefixed with “AZP_C160” keyword.
However, changing those L VARS is not always enough and you may need to call the events described in the next section.
Custom events
Here is non-exhaustive list of main H Events that you can use in order to interact with aircraft systems.
