    Hi, and thanks for the fantastic plane!

    I recently got a macro pad keyboard/controller that has some rotary "knobs" on it that actually send button presses. With the help of Axis and Ohs, which I'm very new to, I've been able to get the knobs to work on a variety of planes. However, I haven't been able to bind them to the altitude selector knobs on the Century autopilot. I'm using the variables AP_ALT_VAR_DEC and AP_ALT_VAR_INC, which have worked on every other plane so far, but have no effect on the Duke. Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct variables, or how to find them? I scanned the manual a couple times and didn't see anything different - but I'm also terrible at seeing things that are right in front of my eyes.

    Thanks,
    Derek

      Hi Derek,

      I just checked the code, and I'm using the same events as you, so I would expect them to work. Are you passing a value with that event, such as to increment by 100ft or 1000ft? I don't know if it will work without a value, but it may.

        Thanks, that's exactly it. The other planes I've set it up for so far work fine without passing a value - they simply increment/decrement by 100. For the Duke a value needs to be passed. Thanks so much for your reply.

          The event.txt file in FSUIPC uses this:
          AP_Century_IV_Pitch_DOWN#(L:var_AP_PitchKnob) 0.5 + 14.5 min (>L:var_AP_PitchKnob)
          AP_Century_IV_pitch_UP#(L:var_AP_PitchKnob) 0.5 - -14.5 max (>L:var_AP_PitchKnob)
