King air: How to map the CLIMB & DSC buttons to a controller?
-
I am looking to map the CLIMB and DSC AP buttons to a physical controller but not sure where to start. Do these already point to a regular keyboard command or is this a Spad.Next kind of job?

@dreamsofwings I could not find an easy key binding for CLIMB & DSC so I had to build some logic using SPAD.NEXT, below follow some examples
I use a Stream Deck to simulate the buttons
CLIMB button pressed and Indicated Altitude > 30000 => speed 120 kias
CLIMB button pressed and Indicated Altitude between 20000 and 30000 => speed 130 kias
I built the same logic for
CLIMB button pressed and Indicated Altitude between 20000 and 10000 => speed 140 kias
CLIMB button pressed and Indicated Altitude less than 10000 => speed 160 kias
For DSC there's a formula to calculate the speed
It's not simple but it works just fine!
Hope it helps you!

@anderson Hey thanks so much for that. I've never touched Spad.next but I think this might have to be the moment I step up and use it.

Just want to say Thank You for your Spad config above! Very much appreciated!You dont happen to know if there is any repository for Lvars for BKSQ aircraft? Especially Steam Gauge series?
Regards, David.
