What is the keybind for the CWS knob on the control yoke in MSFS2024?
-
The manual says "Pressing and holding the control
wheel steering (CWS) button on either control yoke allows the pilot to adjust the pitch of the
aircraft without fighting the autopilot servos, or using the pitch roller knob. Upon releasing the
CWS button, the aircraft will resynchronize the pitch roller knob, and begin holding the new pitch
attitude selected by the pilot."*But I cannot figure out which keybind leads to this function.

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
