Hi, i have some problems to find out how to read the value of the right (co-pilot) EFIS Baro Value in Mobiflight.
The left EFIS Baro value is read by
(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, Number) 100 / near
and right?
Thx forward
#Fenix A320 right EFIS Baro?

If not found in Hubhop, go into Dev Mode Behaviors to dig up what is the correct code.

I checked the msfs SDK for this variable and it can take an index. So, try
(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG:2, inches Hg)
For the FO side.
scarlet cobalt
Thank you very much!!!!

I have an additional question not related to Mobiflight bus may be someone knows this. The EFIS Display shows a small "QNH" on the upper right side but it is also able to show "BARO". I have made some tests on the FENIX A320 but i am not able to switch it from QNH to BARO. How can i do this?

thx, but won't work

I didn't get the units correct. Can you please try again this
(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG:2, inHg)
sleek arch
I checked the sim and could not find any variable to show the right EFIS baro setting
as you indicated, the generic (A:KOHLSMAN SETTING:2, inHg)
shows the same value as the left EFIS
I guess this will be a good candidate for inclusion in the FenixQuartz app by @modern bay
Ironically the isis Baro setting is available from FenixQuartz 😃

Because that is not available in a standard SimVar (at least I'm not aware of it ^^)
The normal Baro (:1 / Captain that is) is by now also included in the latest Dev Build. But more as a Convenience, since that Baro can be composed with SimVars and Fenix L-Vars (nothing else Quartz is doing in that Case)
I never really looked into the FO-Side tbh. Just link the Baros and use the Captain Output ^^

The FO side Baro setting and altitude reading is independent of the Capt side

Not if linked

where do you activate this option? TBH, it doesn't make sense to me that you are able to set both baro settings independently. I would guess that could be a problem in a real cockpit.

It makes Sense when looking at System Redundancy - there are multiple Instances for most everything in modern Airliners 😉
And especially something critical as that should be 2 (3) different Systems

found it and linked. Thanks
pliant briar
it is actually independent, yes
in fsx it was always linked or a custom lvar with dymmy second altimeter that had its own local baro setting
indexed indeed in msfs2020 and most times practical to have just one when flying with one pilot

Hi, thanks for the infos.
I have an additional question not related to Mobiflight bus may be someone knows this. The EFIS Display shows a small "QNH" on the upper right side but it is also able to show "BARO". I have made some tests on the FENIX A320 but i am not able to switch it from QNH to BARO. How can i do this?
pliant briar
is that related to the altitude setting units? InHg vs millibars?
modern bay
There is no "BARO" on either the FBW or the Fenix EFIS Display.
It is either QNH or QFE. And most commonly QNH is used.
scarlet cobalt
Okay, strange. I have seen it on most A320 EFIS Pictures on internet. FBW A320 has QNH and QFE as you sayed
modern bay
Well I could very well be that at some Point there was a "Baro" on the EFIS Display. Airbus tends to change Panels over Time or have a variety of different Variations other the MSN-Range. I mean just look at the ADIRU or XPDR Panel on the FBW, Fenix, ToLiss and FSL. All are different, but all are correct for the targeted/modeled MSN
sleek arch
AFAIK, There is no QFE option setting in the Fenix A320 Baro.
modern bay
I don't know how it can be set, but if you do the Lights/Indicator Test you can see it being there 😉
sleek arch
The question has been asked many times in the Fenix discord server. This aircraft does not have this option installed as opposed to the FBW version that does have it.
Some users commented there that very few airlines have this option installed in their airplanes.
So, it wouldn't be strange that Airbus installs the same EFIS display screen in all A320, even if the QFE option is missing.
pliant briar
I guess most civil aviation uses QNH and standard pressure
gliders use QFE quite often on local flights
airbuses not so much
I guess it was a software option made for Russian airspace that used QFE and meters, but they also started to tranisition in 2017
scarlet cobalt
On FlyByWire it is possible to switch to Qfe /qnh by pressing the Std knoob
On Fenix it doesnt work like this
pliant briar
yeah, but I mean you like never use it anyway
or well, better check what countries might use it
and then say how "never" it is
very uncommon in western airspace at least
hm ok some russian charts on navigraph still have QFE, but altitudes seem in feet
but they read "FOR RUSSIAN USERS ONLY" - I guess those are not international airports or what would that mean, not sure?

I know this is some kind of greavedigging since last post is from october 2023, but I thought it better than open a new thread since my issue is the same @scarlet cobalt wrote at the beginning. In the meanwhile Fenix v2 came out, and I wonder if maybe now we have some chance to use unlinked EFIS displays. Having them linked is useful, but unrealistic and the whole point of making a custom cockpit is to go towards realism. @sleek arch I have to ask you to kindly remove a bit of tries I made on hubhop (you will find them in Fenix EFIS output presets) since they don't work and I didn't remember that indexed values do not need to have a own preset, sorry. To the HubHop admins, I suggest you let the author of a preset to be able to delete his/her own creations in order to avoid asking moderators for trivial things like this and bother them more than is necessary 🙂 )

I will check. As a general rule, only add events into Hubhop that have been tested.
You don't need to have a preset to test the code. In Mobiflight, you can enter custom code into the preset code box any time.

they don't work and moreover, they're useless, because, as you suggested a bit above in this thread, it should be enough to use the setting you made adding the :index in the Preset section

Hi everyone, I've been trying various variables found on HubHop to read the Captain and FO sides of the QNH (both in hPa and inHg), but none seem to work properly, or maybe I'm just not using the correct ones.
I read that with the April 2024 update, Fenix is now exposing new BARO-related variables like B_FCU_EFIS*:
https://fenixsim.com/blog/entries/2024-04-15_update_and_sale/
Could someone briefly explain how to read the left and right QNH values separately for use on an external display?
Is there a direct SimConnect variable for this?
Thanks a lot in advance!
