Thrust vectoring K Events and A Vars

[MSFS 2024] Bug Reports Aircraft

Hi @EPellissier:

I’ve seen in the SDK that K events are already allowed for thrust vectoring, which is great for implementing TVC or Hover functions:

I’ve tried it with a lever template and it actually works. However, I do not see any A var in the SDK that allows us to know the state of the vector (which would be necessary for example to control exhaust animations, among other things). I wanted to know if you haven’t documented it or if they simply don’t exist.

An alternative way would be to create a variable L that controls the event K and at same time the animation. But I think it would be more appropriate to have access to a variable A if it exist.

If you can give me some information I would appreciate it.

Greetings.

Hello again,

I would like to receive some response on this matter, @EPellissier, @FlyingRaccoon. Even if the answer is a simple “no”. But at least to know if I can follow this development path or I have to choose a different approach.

Thank you.

Hello @CodenameJack447

I converted this to a bug report.
There are “ENG TILT XXX” simvars that are available, but are missing from the documentation.

I have logged a bug so this is added to the documentation.

I really appreciate your reply @FlyingRaccoon! This might end up being a perfect fit for the Harrier, so I’ll test these variables with it to analyze the results.

I understand this is something being added to MSFS2024 and won’t ever be implemented in MSFS2020, right?

Best regards.

Hello @CodenameJack447

This is fixed with SU2 beta 1.4.7.0.
Documentation has been reviewed and some additional simvars with a different format were also added.

Hi @FlyingRaccoon,

I really appreciate both the documentation in the SDK and the physics implementation itself.

Anything that includes native physics within the simulator without the need to inject external code is simply wonderful.

Best regards,

@CodenameJack447.
