Toggle Autopilot Heading Hold behavior
-
I noticed on the Duke when I hit Hdg hold on my hardware, the hdg bug remains where I bugged it to and hdg hold activates. On all the other black square planes it appears to center the hdg bug before activating hdg hold. I would prefer for it to work as it does with the dukes as it's far more useful/ realistic. Just wanted to point out the inconsistency...

That's surprising. I'm not aware of any configuration parameter that affects that behavior, nor have I ever seen it in my own testing. I hate to send you back to the drawing board, but do you think it could be anything on your side?
Also, I've been meaning to thank you for participating in these forums and answering so many questions from my users while clearly coming from a place of great knowledge. As you noted recently, it can be hard for me to get to all of these messages in a day, so I really appreciate the help.

@Black-Square No issues regarding usability, I just thought I'd mention it out of curiosity for why it was different. I have heard of some strange behavior with honeycomb hardware since su4 (mainly with the alpha yoke). I just started playing around with fsuipc to change this sort of stuff. Thanks for the reply!

@SadBucket Oh, I also meant to say that this behavior could be different depending on what hot-swapping avionics you are using. Sorry if it seems like a dismissal! I would be happy to fix the issue, but I'm not able to reproduce it, and I haven't encountered anything in the SDK that sounds related (though that doesn't mean there isn't something that has escaped me).

@Black-Square Update: Simple fix, just bound to ~"hdg on" and ~"alt on" instead of "toggle" in msfs settings. Sorry for troubling you.

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind for my development, and I'll test that behavior through the debugger to see if that's the intended behavior. Thanks for letting me know.
