I'm trying to add the CS C-130 to an addon platform I am building, which uses SimConnect to set fuel loads (and eventually payloads). I've found though that "Tank No. 1" and "Tank No. 4" don't seem to have any representation in the documented simvars in SimConnect. I would have assumed them to be the "FUEL TANK LEFT MAIN" and "FUEL TANK RIGHT MAIN" values, but those are not implemented, it seems.

Am I missing something? Are these handled by a different simvar? Is it a bug in the addon?

Ah, perfect. I overlooked that in the API docs.

Thank you!

The problem is that not all controls work through only reading/writing the variable.
In some cases, when you click, additional actions occur, for example, default events of the sim are triggered, etc.
Moreover, some logic can be processed in wasm. Therefore, for example, rotating the Pitch/Turn knobs simply by assigning values to the P17_001_KNB/P17_002_KNB variables does not give the desired result. That is, it does not give the same effect as their full rotation by clicking or by assigned controls in the sim.

Of course, you can always change the code in xml, if you understand how. Therefore, I can only advise you to look at q135_302_interior.xml and cs130_interior_common.xml. Search for the elements of interest there, see how they work and try to change them to suit your needs.

Same story. There is no variable for the position of this switch. Its position depends on the default systems of the sim and is determined by the code:
<ANIM_CODE>(A:ELECTRICAL MASTER BATTERY:1, Bool) if{ 1 } els{ (A:EXTERNAL POWER ON:2, Bool) if{ 2 } els{ 0 } }</ANIM_CODE>
The click code is even more complicated.

I can only name the DC power code of the switch: O05_001_GL3. Search by this name in the above xml and see how it works.

I don't seem to have any ...interior.xml files.  This was a ms store purchase.  Only xml I have is 2 library files.??
