Vertical speed hold has not worked since FS2K/FS2K2. The workround to get this to function is to set altitude hold to some unfeasible height for the aircraft if wanting a positive vertical speed and to zero feet if wanting a negative vertical speed. The following code snip then sets the required vertical speed.
if(vsi_target>0)send_key_event(KEY_AP_ALT_VAR_SET_ENGLISH,50000); //Positive VS else send_key_event(KEY_AP_ALT_VAR_SET_ENGLISH,0); //Negative VS send_key_event(KEY_AP_VS_VAR_SET_ENGLISH,(int)vsi_target); //Set required VS send_key_event(KEY_AP_ALT_HOLD_ON,0); //Set alt hold on
From information received from the Prepar3D team at Lockheed-Martin, the bug for this one is buried so deep that it can’t be fixed. They’ve removed it from the list of KEY_EVENTS in the later P3D SDKs.
