What is the keybind for the CWS knob on the control yoke in MSFS2024?
-
You can't do it through the sim, you need external software to bind the LVar L:var_PilotCws or, hardware depending, L:var_PilotCws_IsDown
I use the _IsDown variable because my hardware does not send a constant input on the button I use, so it rapidly pops back up before depressing again.

There is also an event, if you can bind it:
>K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH -
I've posted about this before for how I have it set up.

This trick works, but I've had to set it up with fsuipc due to a weird SU4 problem with some yoke hardware.

>K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCHSorry Nick, I missed this in my quick skim of the Duke manuals and had forgotten about it since you stopped putting the "hardware key events" option in the tablets of your aircraft.
@Sword That K:SYNC_FLIGHT_DIRECTOR_PITCH should be a similarly named sim bind after all, search Flight Director and it should be immediately apparent. If I get the chance to boot my sim later I'll have a look.

@jmarkows Yes there is indeed a keybind that is called "Flight Director Pitch Sync"
I need to activate "Control AP Pitch with Hardware" in the tablet and bind this function to a key - and BAM it works! Thank you guys!@SadBucket Maybe also interesting for you - it is more or less similar to your approach but only with one of the keybinds

@Sword The Century IV is supposed to go into attitude hold when using CWS, so I set it up to do so with those controls. Otherwise just using pitch sync works.
*I believe there is an SU4 regression with some yoke hardware (HC Alpha for me) causing some advanced key-bind controls to not work. In this instance the input repetition toggle seems to not work, so I've used FSUIPC to set it up. Your mileage may vary.

I retested and it works definitely. The key is to setup "Control AP Pitch with Hardware Events" in the tablet. I seems to me that this setting does not stay ON in the next flight.
