Cirrus SR22T Working Title does not report Pitot Heat state through SimConnect

[MSFS 2024] Bug Reports

Version: 1.1.9.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Marketplace package name: default plane

Context: in flight

Similar MSFS 2020 issue: works in MSFS2020

Bug description:
The Pitot Heat state is not reported through SimConnect (always OFF). Toggling through SimConnect does work.

Repro steps:

  1. In the SR22T, turn on Pitot Heat (either by clicking mouse or through SimConnect, does not matter)
  2. Read the Pitot Heat state through SimConnect
  3. Observe that the value is OFF.

This is the only plane I observed erratic behavior, other planes such as C172 G1000 work correctly.

This works correctly in the MSFS2020 SR22T.

Hello @Djeez2

This is not a SDK issue.
The pitot heat simvar represents the state of the default sim implementation but 3rd party developers are free to bypass some of the base systems and have their own implementation, where the states will be set through custom variables or events.
