Thanks, updated https://drive.google.com/open?id=1enMcTxYPyCwTxiRmpKTmLZPce7PDShdp

Why is it not possible to write to the LVAR L:G03_001_IND? The reason I would like this to do is, that I have an own MCP. This is programmed with SIOC from Open Cockpits. When I turn the knob of my speed on my MCP, open cockpits reads (via a LUA script) the value of G03_001_IND, changes it and writes is to a free offset in FSUIPC.
Now I would like to write the value of that offset to G03_001_IND in a LUA script with:
ipc.writeLvar("L:G03_001_IND", value)

But that doesn't anything.

Kind regards,
Kees

This is indeed the way I have programmed it now. However, this doesn't work as smoothly as the way I expressed in my question. That is why I would still like it if I could write directly to the IND. I think that with me, many who also used the another company first and now switch to Captain Sim, would certainly appreciate this opportunity.

I cannot find the lights (LT1 and LT2) of the airplane lightning panel.

These Lvars don't seem to exist:
O20_001_LT1 (+ LT2)
O20_002_LT1 (+ LT2)
O20_003_LT1 (+ LT2)
O20_004_LT1 (+ LT2)

I want to read them so I can light the corresponding lights in my homepit.

The status of the indicator depends on several conditions, not only from the knob.
What will happen if the MCP panel loses electrical power? And, after that you will set some value for the indicator.
Right. It will show the value without electricity.

I don't think this is the expected result

Well, i can program my hompeit to do blank the displays in case that occurs  .
So writing to the IND's still stays on my wishlist, because turning the knobs in my own made MCP would give a more realistic feeling then the workaround that I have mad now.

Well, you are asking us to re-build the entire 767 code from scratch (which is years of work) just to make it fit better one particular homepit needs.
The answer is no, sorry.

Hello everone, i am stuck at a point where i am unable to program my MCP, due to limited knowledge in coding and deciphering the 757/767 SDK.

CS-767 & 757 - FSX - FSUIPC - Mobiflight

At present, i have used the Lvar for the MCP airspeed written it to a free offset and displaying it on the 7-segment successfully, below is the code that i used.

-----------------------------------------------------
while true do
        n=ipc.readLvar("L:MCP_IAS_Disp")
        ipc.writeUD(0x66C8,n)
        ipc.sleep(100)
        end
------------------------------------------------------------

To increase or decrease the airspeed value - i followed the instructions from the SDK

I created a lua file - CS757SPEEDDEC.LUA

ipc.writeLvar(“L:klid",-1703010)

and another - CS757SPEEDINC.LUA

ipc.writeLvar(“L:klid", 1703010)

These lua files now show up in my FSUIPC list.

Now the next step is to add an entry to auto-run the lua, i have made that entry too.

[Auto]
1=Lua CS757SPEEDINC
2=Lua CS757SPEEDDEC

Now in the macro file, what is the entry that i have to have ?
i tried different entry but none seem to work.

Could anyone please share some script that has worked ? or the steps, assigning the ID to a variable has got me stuck for weeks now, been searching for the forms but unable to find any definite answer.
