Posted by: @pivot2163Where do I find, or input an LVar in FSUIPC??
As I have said, you can test lvars (i.e. set them) from the Add-ons->WASM->Set Lvar menu item.
Posted by: @pivot2163How do I assign it to my axis?
Via a prest - as I have also said, change 'L:1:RUDDERINPUT' to just 'L:RUDDERINPUT' in the prest you defined (and reload the presets if FSUIPC7 already running).
Posted by: @pivot2163In FSUIPC I list Lvars and I do NOT see the noted item
Why not? Its in your log eaxh tine you list the lvars, with id=1062...
Posted by: @pivot2163have no idea how to attach it to my rudder axis.
The easiest way is via a preset, as I have indicated already...
Suggest you review previous comments before posting!
And now thats definetly it for today...
@fsuipc-support Thank you John, please close this as it's getting both of us nowhere. Sorry for the confusion but I am not a programmer much less a high end user of this software. I select axis and assign it to my stick. Let SWS figure it out and if not, lessons learned don't buy anything else from them..
Well, we are getting somewhere as now we no that a standard lvar (i.e. not a scoped lvar) exists, and you just need to test using this lvar.
Many aircraft in MSFS can be quite difficult to set-up, especially when the standard FS controls don't work and there are no available presets. However, it is not that complicated, no 'programming' is involved, you just need to understand how to check and use the different control methods available (standard controls, custom controls, lvars, hvars, input events, b-vars, and more complex calculator code via presets).
I would look into this type of thing if I have/own the aircraft in question, but if not all I can do is to try and talk you through how to investigate to determine what the assignment should be, but if you are not prepared to do the work, I cannot help further not having the aircraft.
I do not close discussions. I would mark it as 'solved' if a solution is found, but we are not there yet...

Sorry John, but the main problem here is I do not understand how to get an lvar into my controller. You state to use this lvar but I do not find it in the listing of "send to FS as preset". Where does one locate and select this for use, as opposed to the command "rudder, aileron, etc" in the axis listings? Do I add that command to the text file we made and select for preset as previous or is it some other way of connecting it? I do appreciate your assistance but I feel you are over-estimating my abilities with your software.
UPDATE - Via a prest - as I have also said, change 'L:1:RUDDERINPUT' to just 'L:RUDDERINPUT' in the prest you defined (and reload the presets if FSUIPC7 already running).
Just edited the Text file to the indicated above and the Rudder functions though in reverse. I changed the 163.84 to "-163.84" and it now functions correctly.
So correct answer is "myEvents.txt" "Set# $Param -163.84 / (>L:RUDDERINPUT)" cured. Thank you.. 🤠 👍
Posted by: @pivot2163I do not understand how to get an lvar into my controller.
There are many ways to control an lvar, but the easiest is via a preset, which I have tried to tell you several times...the preset is used to set a value to the lvar, and you assign your axis to the preset. Why is this not clear?
Posted by: @pivot2163You state to use this lvar but I do not find it in the listing of "send to FS as preset"
You should see all available presets in the drop-down, both those provided by MobiFlight (held in the events,txt file) and those that you have defined yourself, held in the myevents.txt file. For axis assignments to presets, only those presets which accept a parameter (i.e. contain the string '$Param' or the '@' symbol) are shown in the drop-down.
The log file previously attached shows that you assigned your axis to the preset 'My SWS Kodiak 100 Rudder Set', so you do know how to do this and have assigned your axis to the preset. However, the preset was using the lvaras a 'scoped' lvar, i.e. preceded by 'L:1:'. As it seems that it should use a standard lvar, I am just advising you to try this by changing the preset (already in use) to use 'L:RUDDERINPUT' instead of 'L:1:RUDDERINPUT'. I am not sure why this is proving so difficult...
Posted by: @pivot2163Where does one locate and select this for use, as opposed to the command "rudder, aileron, etc" in the axis listings?
But you have already done this! From your ini:
2=AR,256,F,PMy SWS Kodiak 100 Rudder Set,0,0,0 -{ TO SIM: Preset Control }-
This is your axis assignment to the preset you defined in your myevents.txt file. So you already have done this, all you need to do is to change the preset to use the lvar instead of the scoped lvar.
Posted by: @pivot2163Do I add that command to the text file we made and select for preset as previous or is it some other way of connecting it? I
You already defined the preset in your myevents.txt file. All you need to do at the moment is change the definition of this preset to use the standard lvar and not the scoped lvar, as I keep saying....
