Remap/add mapping for SYNC to "Autothrottle Disconnect"
-
The 146 is currently using the "Toggle Afterburner" command to toggle SYNC mode. Would it be possible to also have that react to the "Autothrottle Disconnect" keybind?
The rationale is that the 146 does not have autothrottle, but requires an extra (and quite nonsensical) input to be mapped. Using the same autothrottle disconnect input that the RJ uses for the same thing would make it easier to make compatible setups. In my case, I use the white button on top of the right horn of the HC Alpha yoke bound to both, but having an afterburner control feels even worse than misusing autothrottle a little 😁

Thanks for the suggestion, however, t's unlikely for us to change any of the control assignments in the 146/RJ unless absolutely necessary. Any changes to the control assignments would require all users to update the control assignments that they have been using for up to 2 1/2 years, and that could lead to confusion, extra support tickets, etc.
We also try to keep the control assignments as similar as possible between the 146 and RJ, so if we were to use the suggested "Autothrottle Disconnect" for the AP SYNC toggle in the 146, this would then differ from the control assignment used for the AP SYNC toggle in the RJ (as we wouldn't be able to use the Autothrottle Disconnect control assignment as that's already used for the autothrottle).
