Autopilot altitude select bindings

That's basically correct. You might still find that you can "get along" with the autopilot in some ways, despite this limitation. Once the aircraft is on its way to a new target altitude, for instance, you should be able to adjust that value and actually see it on the display. You will likely also see similar behavior with the vertical speed and airspeed during some modes.
You're right that other users will surely run into this too, which is why it's in the FAQ in the manual. Luckily, I have found in recent years that users generally have come to expect that complex addons will require more complex control inputs, so they become acquainted with MobiFlight, SPAD, or FSUIPC. Don't get me wrong, I dislike being told "it is you that must change" just as much as the next guy, but you realize how these decisions get made when you start making the software for others to consume yourself.

Thank you, this is totally understandable considering Starship has all custom navigation systems. Most other aircraft use default Asobo stuff and I’m sure that’s far easier to develop. I hate to be that guy asking “why didn’t you do it this way?”
Appreciate you spending so much time here answering questions, ideally you’d be resting now and recovering from the crunch time.

Thanks for understanding. It's not always an easy give-and-take between developer and user, but having great users makes it a lot easier, and I hope the same can be said of this developer. I'm always happy to answer questions! It really is something I quite enjoy about building these aircraft.
If you decide to take on these bindings with a new piece of software, please let me know if there is anything I can do to make that process easier for you!
