PTU variables and events missing

Version: 1.6.34.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Context: This is a consistent issue of the hyd modular system

Bug description:

Hello,

Im having issues trying to make the PTU to work on the new modular setup in the hydraulics system.

I wrote a hydraulic system for one of my current projects and everything is working as expected, including the PTU component, but under an specific condition: I can only trigger/toggle the PTU state by using the TogglePTU button in the hydraulics debug window, making it work and create pressure using other system pressure.

The issue is that this PTU state can only be toggled using that button on the debug window.

The SDK says that the A var that I need is writtable, but is not, nor using the simvar watcher, RPN code, WASM or JS, and theres no K event for this purpose.

Do you have plan to fix this? Or do you know any way to do this?

Thank you very much.

Repro steps:

Open hydraulics debug menu and press TogglePTU on any PTU component to active it
Open SimVar Watcher and see the A var changing between 0 and 1 accordingly
Try to write the A var and see the simconnect error
Regardless using SimVar Watcher, JS, RPN or WASM that A var cannot be changed.

Hello @Juaxs

The simvar is indeed not writeable and I couldn’t find an alternative to toggle the PTU programmatically.
I will have this reviewed by our systems engineers.

Sylvain

Hello @Juaxs

With SU6 Beta 1.8.5.0, both HYDRAULIC PTU ACTIVE and HYDRAULIC PTU DIRECTION are now available for writing.
