    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.

          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!

                      @Russos
                      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

                          I need one switch for both (left and right) for FSUIPC
                          I wrote it like this... probably wrong 😞 Not work

                          LandingLightOn# (2K:LANDING_LIGHTS_SET)
                          LandingLightOff# (0K:LANDING_LIGHTS_SET)

                          Can you tell me how to write a correctly?

                            @SMN204 don't have FSUIPC here to test, but try this:

                            LandingLightOn#2 (>K:LANDING_LIGHTS_SET)

                            LandingLightOff#0 (>K:LANDING_LIGHTS_SET)

                                    @Rolo-Bach for the Heater the LVAR:bksq_PreHeater will do the job (0 = OFF, 1 = ON)
