• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hey guys,

Is it possible to have a button click code that would 'turn on' Altitude Hold' that wouldnt over-write the settings? Is there one already written in a particular FS9 aircraft that I perhaps missed? I have looked through most of them, and they all are basically 'lock/on alt' with same codes for each.

You really need to learn to read the SDK... ;)
Use the following pair when you have an altitude preselected.

AP_PANEL_ALTITUDE_ON
.....Turns altitude hold mode on (without capturing current altitude)
AP_PANEL_ALTITUDE_OFF
.....Turns altitude hold mode off

Use the following pair when you want immediate, current altitude hold.
AP_ALT_HOLD_ON
.....Turns altitude hold mode on (captures current altitude)
AP_ALT_HOLD_OFF
.....Turns off altitude hold mode
Click to expand...
 
Hey Bill,

Many thanks. I was hoping there was a way.

Actually, thats where I was this afternoon was in the SDK, as well as Nicks website, parusing the tutorials.

Could a Click string be assembled in such a way to 'turn on' altitude hold (no capture) such as this;

<Click>(AP_PANEL_ALTITUDE_ON,bool) ! (AP_PANEL_ALTITUDE_OFF, bool)</Click>
