Honeycomb Bravo Altitude Selector
-
Hey,
using SpadNext and MSFS native bindings I was able to configure almost all Autopilot related bindings - except for the Altitude Selector.
Yes, the altitude selector binding described in the manual does work with Spad BUT I wouldn‘t be able to manipulate any other variables (HDG, VS, CRS etc.) with the Honeycomb‘s +/- knob on the right.
How can I get it to work by selecting ALT on the left knob and only then being able to manipulate the altitude with the +/- knob?
Maybe someone can walk me through!

I have altitude selection working with my Bravo. To be honest, I can't check whether I used the Hvar or the native sim binding (some of the Hvars and Lvars from the manual simply don't work for me), but I do remember I had to set it to increment/decrement with a value of 100, so you might try that if you haven't already.

Okay, I had enough time before work to hop into the Starship and look at my profile. I use AAO but I imagine this should work similarly for you. I'm passing a value of 100 with H:ALT_AltitudeSelectKnob_Inc_1 and H:ALT_AltitudeSelectKnob_Dec_1 as listed in the manual. Hope that helps. I haven't

@mxqn it took me a while to figure it out but what worked for me was to move all of the autopilot rotary knob functions into SPAD and make sure there were no duplicate binds in MSFS.
In addition to setting up binds for clockwise and counterclockwise for each of the 5 selections (ALT, VS, HDG, CRS, IAS) I also added event triggers for knob push for VS (button 20), HDG (button 19), CRS (button 18), and IAS (button 17) and that prevents the issue where using the rotary knob for anything other than altitude would still change the altitude along with say heading or vertical speed.
If I could attach a pic I would. I am glad I finally figured it out, was about to give up on SPAD and not buy a license but now that I understand it I plan to keep it - so maybe I can publish a profile or snippet next week.
