Newbie needs help with button programing

[danielh908]

I have been using the buttons section of FSUIPC to program my ch throttle quadrant. I have set the heading bug dec/inc and vertical speed, etc. I do this by moving the switch and then choosing the commands from the drop down menu. It is working great however, and this is where I might not have the right terminology, I can't seem to find the commands for moving the course indicator up and down. In the 737 autopilot there is a digital readout that works just like the heading bug, vertical speed and altitude for setting the course but I'm not sure what the commands are for FSUIPC?

If you could tell me what this is, it would be much appreciated.

FSUIPC doesn't use its own terms. All the FS controls use the formal names Microsoft defined for them, as defined in its "CONTROLS.DLL" (which is where FSUIPC reads them from), and listed in the List of FS2004 Controls which is included in the FSUIPC ZIP for your convenience.

The "CRS" value is known as the "OBI" (probably for Omnidirectional Bearing Indicator, but I'm not sure). There are these FS controls:

Vor1 obi dec

Vor1 obi inc

Vor2 obi dec

Vor2 obi inc

The NAV1 radio is linked to the left CRS, OBI1, and the NAV2 radio to the right CRS, OBI2.

I think the term OBI is used on light aircraft, CRS (course) on airliners.
