What you need

  • MSFS flight simulator
  • FlyByWireSim A32nx
  • FSUIPC 7.2.15 or greater (full version)
  • FSUIPC7 WASM Event Module
    • a A32nx.hvar file in your WASM module which contains at least all the HVars being referenced in the user.lua

Please ensure that you enabled the WASM module via the Add-ons menu in FSUIPC. Otherwise it won't work.

FSUIPC7.INI

When using additional third-party liveries, users should add the following entry under the [General] block: UseAirLocForProfiles=Yes. This ensures FSUIPC7 uses the AirFile name and not the FSUIPC7 Profile for matching aircraft.

LVARS

There are over 1200 Lvars available with the latest releases of FBW A32NX. It can take up to a minute after starting MSFS and FBW A32NX for FSUIPC7 to be able to scan all available Lvars. It is recommended that users add a parameter LvarScanDelay= to the FSUIPC_WASM.ini (in /Community/fsuipc-lvar-module/). Use 45 or 60 secs delay.

Notes on HVARS access

Currently, HVARS for aircraft are loaded by using files, located in the WASM module folder (in your CommunityFolder), and loaded on a substring match on the filename to the current loaded aircraft. For the A32nx it is the A32nx FBW.hvar file which is located at

C:\Users\you\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\fsuipc-lvar-module

Ensure that there are no other .hvar files that is a subset of the aircraft name (eg. A320.hvar). Any such files should be removed or renamed.

As the development of the A32nx proceeds quite fast, it might be neccesary to add new hvars there.

John Dowson states:

If people could post the hvars they find (or the hvar files they create) then I will add them an include in future releases. Please use the topic created in the FSUIPC7 support forum for this.

That is important to avoid that your additions are overwritten with the next release and to share it with the community to further improve the eco system around the A32nx.
