    Hello dev team

    im unable to find any way of using the CWS button on the yoke unless i click it which isnt viable.
    Is there any way to assign it to a button or key command without using 3rd party software to map it etc?
    I tried assigning it in the fs controller settings but no luck using theis option in fs2024
    SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH.

    The only way i see the CWS notification on the HSI is if i click it with a mouse.

    the only reference i can find in the manuals is either this

    Instrument Events
    Description
    Variable
    CWS (only if “hardware ctrl. AP pitch”)
    K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH

    or this which appears to be for fs2020

    **v1.1.0 - Sim Update 15
    New Features:

    • Added support for Control Wheel Steering (CWS) or Vertical Sync autopilot mode. This allows the operator to hold a button on the yoke to momentarily disconnect the autopilot pitch servos while manually adjusting the aircraft’s pitch. Releasing the button will have the flight director resume pitch holding at this new pitch.

    • CWS can be triggered with either L:var_PilotCws or L:var_CopilotCws. If you wish to use the native event “K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH”, then you must also use the “Control AP Pitch with Hardware Events” tablet option. “K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH” cannot be used when “Control AP Pitch with Hardware Events” is not selected.

    • An option has been added to control the autopilot pitch knob with hardware controls. When “Control AP Pitch with Hardware Events” is selected on the options page of the tablet interface, “AP_PITCH_REF_INC_DN”, “AP_PITCH_REF_INC_UP”, and “AP_PITCH_REF_SET” can be used to adjust the autopilot’s pitch holding reference. The reference can also now be adjusted with L:var_PilotCws, L:var_CopilotCws or “K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH” when using this option.**

    neither of which i know what to do with.

    the manual says there should be the following option in the table options tab but i see nothing there?

    “K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH” cannot be used when “Control AP Pitch with Hardware Events” is not selected.

    any suggestions

    thanks

      Just checked and I see the same in 2024, i.e. no “Control AP Pitch with Hardware Events” option in the tablet and binding K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH does nothing
