    Add Lvar for iFly 737 Max8 - Image 1

    Description

    Detailed Description

     This apprication outputs the MCP information of the iFly 737 MAX8 as Read-only Lvar in real-time within Microsoft Flight Simulator. This allows the MCP status of the iFly 737 MAX8 to be integrated with other applications and systems, providing a more intuitive and efficient flight simulation experience.

     I made it based on the SDK published by the iFly developer team.

    Main Features
     Outputs each value of the iFly 737 MAX8 MCP, button light status, and FMC light status to Microsoft Flight Simulator as read-only Lvars. Also provides writable Lvars for bank angle control. Refer to the readme for the names of the added Lvars.
     
     Makes MCP settings available instantly to other applications during flight.
     
     Supports complex flight operations by integrating with other devices or software.
     
     Fully synced with Microsoft Flight Simulator, reflecting the MCP status in realtime.

    Requirement
     Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022

    Great addon which brings functionality. Would it be possible to add the multi position knobs on the overhead panel as writable lvars. the IRS knobs, Wiper Knobs & engine start switches and the display values for the Flt alt and land alt. I'm trying to build a config for the Rowsfire B107 and these are tricky to do without being able to explicitly set the position you want.

    Thanks for the great addon! Can't seem to find a guide or tutorial on how to use it. Currently using it with Mobiflight to my Winwing MCDU. Heading and altitude works great, all I'm missing is to blank or dash the screen for speed and v/s when they are empty in the aircraft and I can't figure it out on my own.

    Thank you for your comment. I don’t have an Airbus FCU, so this is just a guess, but I believe the SPD dashes can be displayed by using a value of 999, and the VS dashes by using a value of 9999. For blanks, you can use Speed Shown On/Off or VS Shown On/Off; when the value is set to 1, the display becomes blank.
    I think it would be a good idea to download a MobiFlight profile from flightsim.to, look at its contents, and use it as a reference.

    It freezes my sim and resets the ND display range settings to the minimum every few minutes. Also the IAS display on the MCP stutters and changes very slowly.
    I will have to live without it.

    Since I don’t know what hardware you are using, this is just a guess, but are you using a Winwing MCP with MobiFlight? I have tried various things on my side, but I can’t reproduce the issue. Is this something that used to work but no longer does, or is this your first time trying to use it and it’s not working? I would appreciate a bit more information.

    Hey, thank you so much for the work! It seems that the L-Var "add_iFly_std_status" is not working - it is stuck at 0 when I toggle STD mode on and off. Would appreciate it if you could look into this issue. Thanks!

    Edit: The author has fixed the issue with v0.9.1. Thank you for the prompt fix!

    The revised version has been uploaded. I've reviewed the STD conditional expressions. Thank you.

    Hello thanks for your work appreciate it. I also have connected the PFP7 at the same time. Not sure if it's linked. But All the displays work except the course values. So, the inputs work and sync up but not the course displays

    Are you unable to use the winwing device as intended?
    We have confirmed that the application works correctly with MSFS2020 and 2024.

    Are you using the winwing device with SimAppPro? We are not familiar with SimAppPro, so we cannot answer your question, but if you are using mobiflight, we may be able to help you.
    Thank you.

    Hello again,
    I am using it with mobiflight yeah. Sim app pro won't actually work with the iFly max in FS24. It does function and all inputs are read. In my case, the heading course will just read 000, even though it will change the in game values.

    Hi, in 2024 the add_bank_angle stuff LVAR isn't working anymore. I suppose this does just call the 25 / 26 L: VC... command multiple times in the background? Because multiple LVAR commands chained don't work in MSFS 2024 apparently. Do you have an idea?

    Hello.
    I will respond assuming that you are referring to add_iFly_bank_value.
    This lvar reads the numerical value assigned to add_iFly_bank_value and sends KEY_COMMAND_AUTOMATICFLIGHT_BANK_ANGLE_SET to iFly.
    I haven't tried it yet in MSFS 2024, so I will check it out next weekend. Please wait a little longer.

    Yes, indeed, that's the one I meant. I tried assign the values 0,1,2,3 or 4, and while they are indeed assigned to the LVAR, it has no effect in the cockpit. Let me know if you can solve this, it's the only thing missing that's not yet working with SirTakis' profile in 2024 :)

    I think it is compatible with MSFS2024, so please give it a try.
    Thank you.
