Keyboard Shortcuts IAS, Course and Vertical Speed

[Krusty]

I'm looking to find out if there is a way to set keyboard shortcuts for changing IAS, Vertical Speed and Course? If there is a command using standard.xml, I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks

List of all the Events ,,, The code you would use is in the middle column ,,,

And a list of all the assigned and un-assigned keys ,,,

Hi Jim, the list was exactly what I was missing! Thank You! This addresses both Airspeed and Vertical Speed. I have no idea why my hours of searching turned up nothing... All I can think of is that I was searching based on the first 737-800 MCP function which is Back Course. Even this list doesn't seem to help much in this category, but then again, I could simply be missing something.

While I see things like



KEY_AP_SPD_VAR_INC AP_SPD_VAR_INC Increments airspeed hold reference Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_SPD_VAR_DEC AP_SPD_VAR_DEC Decrements airspeed hold reference Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_AIRSPEED_HOLD AP_AIRSPEED_HOLD Toggles airspeed hold mode Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_AIRSPEED_ON AP_AIRSPEED_ON Turns airspeed hold on Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_AIRSPEED_OFF AP_AIRSPEED_OFF Turns airspeed hold off Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_AIRSPEED_SET AP_AIRSPEED_SET Sets airspeed hold on/off (1,0) Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_PANEL_SPEED_ON AP_PANEL_SPEED_ON Turns on speed hold mode Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_PANEL_SPEED_OFF AP_PANEL_SPEED_OFF Turns off speed hold mode Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_PANEL_SPEED_SET AP_PANEL_SPEED_SET Set speed hold mode on/off (1,0) Shared Cockpit
KEY_AUTOPILOT_AIRSPEED_HOLD_CURRENT AP_PANEL_SPEED_HOLD_TOGGLE Turns airspeed hold mode on with current airspeed Shared Cockpit
etc....


all I see for Back Course is the following with no way to either "bug select" or increment/decrement the value.



KEY_AP_BC_HOLD_ON AP_BC_HOLD_ON Turns localizer back course hold mode on/armed Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_BC_HOLD_OFF AP_BC_HOLD_OFF Turns off backcourse mode for localizer hold Shared Cockpit
KEY_AP_BC_HOLD AP_BC_HOLD Toggles the backcourse mode for the localizer hold Shared Cockpit

Krusty ,, thinking about this ,, I think most of what you want is available thru the normal FS/options/settings menu.
Some time ago, while experimenting with Arduino's I done an autopilot and although I never done all the mode buttons, I didn't from memory play with the standard.xml.

The "course" bug is in there as "OBS indicator" as Shift+V (then + or - to move)
The "heading" bug as Ctrl+shift+H (then + or - to move) (There are also separate commands available for "up" and "down")

Hope that helps ,, Jim
