This are the (new) Support Forums for FSUIPC and related products.

These forums replace the old support forums which have been running for 20+ years. The old forums contain a wealth of information on all FSUIPC products, and are still available (until the end of the year) for read-only here.

At the moment these new forums are quite empty – I will be updating the FAQ section and copying across the User Contributions from the old forums in the next few months.

Please note that you will need to Register and Login to post for support, and also to download attachments. You can view these forums without registering.

Heading Sync function

Hello,

I couldn't find a standard function in Fsuipc to sync the Autopilot heading to the actual heading (Heading Sync).

So i made this little lua script. I took the conversion from true to magnetic from the provided sample plugin display vals.lua.

Place this lua in your Fsuipc folder and assign it to a button. You will find it under lua Hdg_Sync in the assignments list.

It’s simply a quick way to align the Heading bug and only has effect on AP / FD guidance if the hdg roll mode is active.

This could be used when flying in nav mode and ATC instructs to maintain hdg. You press the hdg sync and then activate the hdg roll mode. Or when handflying rawdata, you can use it to quickly align the hdg bug with a simple press (f.e. after localizer intercept).

If there is a simpler or more elegant way to get this function working, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Andre
