Bindings for Asobo 787

[Arcangelo Zurlo]

Hi. Is there a FSUIPC binding for following actions:

-to push the Altitude Hold Selector Knob (see following picture)?

-to push the Heading Hold Selector Knob?

- the same for Speed Selector Knob  

 I tried a lot of assignments on FSUIPC panel, without success.

Kind Regards

You need to use presets. First, please update your FSUIPC7 version to the latest version, 7.3.23, if you have not done so already. This version contains a new feature that makes finding presets a lot easier. In the assignments panel, check Select for Preset and then click the Find Preset... button. you should then see presets for both of these buttons, e.g,

Note that you can also use the MobiFlight hub-hop site (https://hubhop.mobiflight.com/presets/) to search for presets.

Hi John. Just a question: do you now what is the preset on FSUIPC for the SPEED INTV. Button on Asobo 787. I don’t find it. 
Thanks in advance. 
Regards.

Not offhand. There is a preset for altitude intervention: AUTOPILOT_PUSH_ALTITUDE_INTERVENTION

This uses the hvar H:AS01B_FMC_1_AP_ALT_INTERVENTION

You could test to see if there is a similar hvar for the speed intervention. Try executing the calculator code (Add-ons->WASM->Execute Calculator Code)
     (>H:AS01B_FMC_1_AP_SPD_INTERVENTION)
and maybe also try:
    (>H:AS01B_FMC_1_AP_SPEED_INTERVENTION)

to see if any of those work. If so, you can define your own preset.

Otherwise, you can try inspecting the behavior of the button using the MSFS development tools - see https://www.badcasserole.com/uncovering-input-events-using-the-msfs2020-model-behavior-dialog/

Also you can try logging Input Events (Log -> Input Events), press the Speed Intv button and see if anything is logged, and if so use that.

I can take a deeper look at some point, but probably not for at least a few days.

I will try. Thank you so much!

I am not familiar with the 787 - where is this button located?

Is there even such a button? I have read this: With VNAV active, pushing the IAS/MACH selector enables speed intervention
