    I just tried it here with the command in the MSFS controls settings, and it indicates attitude holding mode as expected. Have you tried it with the native control assignments menu? I would FSUIPC and Mobiflight to behave exactly the same, but if it works from within the simulator, then we know that something strange is going on. Do you know what the suggested solution in Spad.next is? That might give me a hint.

        Thanks for the link. Oooh, are you using the PMS50 GTN when you try this? I see in my code that the PMS50 won't work with the pitch leveler command, and I used "K:AP_ALT_HOLD" instead.

          That was it! Thanks.

            Delightful! Thanks for responding so that others with the same question will be able to search for this. I'm glad that's all it was!

              One thing more. I was in flight and using K:AP_ALT_HOLD switched to ATT but it started ascending fast. I suppose i have to use another event also to just center the ATT wheel? When i press the ATT button it doesn't behave like this. It is centered.

                Ah yes, I recall hitting that issue with the PMS50 too. I wish there was an easier solution, but simply writing the aircraft's current pitch to the pitch knob should solve the problem:

                (A:PLANE PITCH DEGREES, degrees) (>L:var_AP_PitchKnob, number)

                  @e4rthdog Using Mobiflight I have a line saying "(A:PLANE PITCH DEGREES, degrees) (>L:var_AP_PitchKnob)" in order to get the pitch wheel to go to current pitch just like it does, when you click the physical button.

                    Thanks! I need to find out if i can do that in FSUIPC or i need to switch the profile from fsuipc to mobiflight

                      Thanks it worked.

                      For anyone wondering how to do this in FSUIPC:

                      Page 49 of the advanced FSUIPC manual:

                      • Create a file myevents.txt in the fsuipc directory

                      • Create a profile entry there like this:

                      duke-att-wheel-rst#(A:PLANE PITCH DEGREES, degrees) (>L:var_AP_PitchKnob, number)
                      

                      bind the duke-att-wheel-rst preset to the button you like.

                      I assign the AP_ALT_HOLD to the press event of the button and the duke-att-wheel-rst preset to the release of the same button. In that way the AP goes to ATT mode at the current pitch.

                        Hello! I can’t understand how Left/Right Landing Light works

                        B:LIGHTING_LANDING_1_Toggle - is this a button to toggle?
                        (1 K:LANDING_LIGHTS_SET) - is this for the toggle switch? But what does the number 1 (or 2) before the letter K mean? There seems to be no such syntax in Mobileflight.

                        Thank you!

                          K:LANDING_LIGHTS_SET is the name of the event, and you should call it with parameter 0 for both OFF and 2 for ON.
                          If you want to control them separately, you'll need to use the B events.

                            Then I don't really understand the B event syntax for separate control for toggle switch
