Make EngineMaster switches accessible via SimConnect/WASM

Description

For home cockpit builders like me, it's a pity that the engine master switches cannot be remote controlled. Please give us an writable(!) LVAR or custom event to set/reset the engine master switches.

Same goes for any other knob on pedestal and overhead panel.

Thank you so much for your constant efforts in this great product!

I have it running using the standard controls.

So probably this LUA snippet helps you to get those running

function A32nx_ENGINE_MODE_set(engMode)
    ipc.control(67017, engMode)
    ipc.control(67018, engMode)
end

function A32nx_ENGINE_MODE_crank()
    A32nx_ENGINE_MODE_set(0)
end

function A32nx_ENGINE_MODE_norm()
    A32nx_ENGINE_MODE_set(1)
end

function A32nx_ENGINE_MODE_start()
    A32nx_ENGINE_MODE_set(2)
end

function A32nx_ENGINE_1_on()
    ipc.control(67198, 1)
    ipc.control(66300, 0)
end

function A32nx_ENGINE_1_off()
    ipc.control(67197, 1)
    ipc.control(66300, 0)
end

function A32nx_ENGINE_2_on()
    ipc.control(67198, 2)
    ipc.control(66301, 0)
end

function A32nx_ENGINE_2_off()
    ipc.control(67197, 2)
    ipc.control(66302, 0)
end
