ATT and Spad.Next bind

[Lestat11]

i am trying to bind the ap ATT button to my bravo using spad.next up till now i have this

is there a better way to do this?
as i am not sure the pitchknob setting is correct

For the ATT button you only need the pitch leveler K event ... the Lvar is for the up and down adjustment of the pitch, not activating the mode

In my experience so far, I have to use the AP_PITCH_LEVELER event twice, with a short delay in between. For some reason the first event sets the AP to GP, the second event sets it to ATT. Curious if others have noticed this? It seems that there may be more to having it set ATT directly with a single event? Or maybe not ... ?

I noticed if I press the att button in the plane the pitch knob also resets in the plane

If I just use the k event on its own this dose not happen

Also see the CWS yoke button post in this forum, there are some additional useful information there.

found an Lvar instrument_attitudeindicator_1_pitch_animation_readonly
using that to read the value seams to make ATT work well for me (only done a little testing)

Below follows the way it works for ATT ON/OFF.

ATT OFF

ATT ON

Unfortunately that does not work for me. Using AAO (which is only another way to define RPNscripts) I can enable the ATT mode but only without the automated setting of the att-Trim-wheel.
Any chance to get the variable/script which is executed when the ATT-Button in the cockpit is pressed (maybe also including the sounds played) ?
Thx

@syff you've mentioned somewhere you're using my AAO templates for the Duke. Take a look at the Duke_AP.tmpl included there, it has bindings for most of the autopilot functions of the plane, including a workaround for the yoke CWS switch, it's using HC Bravo, but you can rebind them to anything you like, or just take inspiration how it's done.

The upcoming Duke update will change some of these functions and I will adapt my templates accordingly, so keep in mind you may have to update those also :)

@Randolf thanks for the hint - I will take a look to your AP-Template.

and thanks again for your savestate solution :-)
