Assign joystick button for heading

[CentenaryMan]

hi,,,just tinkering around with fsuipc to use joystick button presses for different functions.

the command i really wanted was to change the heading using joystick button,,,i.e hold a button down to move the heading indicator anti clockwise,,,,,hold another button to move the heading indicator clockwise....i cant seem to find the control in the key mapping or button press in fsuipc.

i found a command for the heading bug,,,,but when using the leveld 767 it didnt alter the heading indicator on the autopilot.

anybody any ideas?

sorry if this is confusing,,,,,it is to me LOL

Thanks

Andy

Those are standard FS functions, assignable in FS already, so there's no need to do it in FSUIPC. But of course the same controls are assignable there too.

i cant seem to find the control in the key mapping or button press in fsuipc.

Yes, the FS names for the controls you need are Heading bug inc and dec.

but when using the leveld 767 it didnt alter the heading indicator on the autopilot.

I think the Level D 767 autopilot implementation does its own thing, not using FS controls or the FS autopilot at all. Please refer to the Level D help or documentation to see which keypresses to assign instead.

For FS controls please always test on a default FS aircraft. If an add-on then does differently, it has its own arrangements which may or may not be documented.

yep i did notice in fsuipc that the key press would be heading bug up and down,,,,and when set up in the lds i can move the heading bug/purple line but the heading on the autopilot doesnt change....thanks for the info i will try over at level d.
