The Events(Inputs) and Variables(Outputs) numbers used in the rkssoftware drivers are specific for rksoftware and are therefore only to be used in scripts for the rksoftware drivers.

The Events and Variables themselves which I am using in the drivers and scripts are all found in the PMDG airplane's SDK, see in MSFS's Community\pmdg-aircraft-738\Documentation\SDK\PMDG_NGX3_SDK.h

Some of these Variables are not given number in the driver software as the function for variables are not used in the Opencockpits hardware modules.

But even if they are not used in the Opencockpits modules, but requested by a rksoftware driver user, I will add them. Example of this is the TakeOff and Cabin Altitude variables.

The pedal variables you have asked for is not in the PMDG SDK, therfore I can't / will not add them to the driver.

i believe the pedal variables you are seeking is joystick variables that can be found in the FSUIPC software.

SIOC scripts can use FSUIPC variables in the script for the drivers so it is possible to embed these functions.

There is a TQ script example somewhere in the Forum here.

Thanks for the update regarding the ToC & CA annunciators. I've added them to script v7.0 and can confirm too that they're working.

Hi Ian,
Do you have a custom wired MIP or default OC wired MIP. I ask this because I was wondering how you found a spare output for default OC wiring to add the TO CONFIG and CABIN ALTITUDE. I have the defualt wiring and it looks like every single output on the outputs cards is taken.
I may have to wiring to the OVH if there is a spot. But before I do all that work I was wondering what your setup is and if you found room on the defualt wiring outputs.

Hello,
looking through Roar's original script, what was probably written for default OC wired hardware, I realized that outputs 54 and 55 on the MIP section are not in use and should be free for your MIP modification project. You will not find them on the outputs card (output 11 - 48) but on the P2 connector of the mastercard that gives you 7 additional outputs (49 - 55)
Best Regards

N
You are always a savior. I forgot about that P2 connector as those have some extra spots in there. The outputs connectors are definitely maxed out.
But now I do remember whiel I was debugging I could not trace 54 and 55. Now it all makes sense. I would have to rewire that part of the circuit to use those for my new annunciators.

Update
Connected as suggested and tested to work in SIOC.
