Describe the bug

I have the VRinsight COMBO II (Boeing) hardware that has always worked without any problem with the stable versions of FBW, but now that I have installed the stable version 0.7.0, some assignments of the EFIS / MCP / COM buttons have been lost. . Specifically the HDG, SPD, V / S controls. As you should know, this hardware needs LINDA to operate and its way of working has always been with the original MSFS Default format. It had always worked well. What a change in the new files from version 0.7.0 that you can no longer control as before. Please, any hints.

Expected behavior

If it has always worked well, I would hope that FBW continues well to support those of us who have an investment in some items. It is a reality that the future is FBW, that is why we must go down that path.

Steps to reproduce

1- Update through FBW Installer to version 0.7.0 2- Start MSFS 3- Since my COMBO II panel did not work, I proceeded to delete all the content from the Community, but the problem continues. 4- Download the old version 0.6.3. And with this version, everything works fine.

These controls now use custom events. You can find a list of events and simvars in our docs:

* https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/blob/master/docs/a320-simvars.md

This is good news, but excuse my silly question. What is SimVars? Is it a module that I should download? Or you can give me an example of how I should assign events with SimVars. There is some guide that can help me.

Sorry, but I'm not that expert.

Due to fact the MSFS 2020 SimConnect not providing access to Lvars, only the MSFS default aircraft functionality is available (use LIB: MSFS Default when assigning functions). No other aircraft modules will be released until Lvars are made available.

Unfortunately this restriction would now apply to us as we are moving towards our own custom events and moving away from the default aircraft. If LINDA is a hard requirement and there is no alternative, then your panel will not work until the core issue is solved by Asobo.
