I have the same issue, eventually just gave up and mapped that slot for radio controls. Nobody seems interested on developing a fix. :roll_eyes:

Same issue here

This is not a bug, in my case, just a unique binding specific to the Asobo 737 MAX 8 found here: Asobo 737 MAX Autopilot Altitude Control Binding - #2 by Zadma

I claimed my issue was fixed because it was. If you’d like to open a separate bug report specifically about the Honeycomb hardware, which seems to be the only thing that doesn’t work with this, you’re welcome to :slight_smile:

It is not fixed and it is definitely a bug, because the command to trigger the altitude bug should be identical across all aircraft. If it isn’t consistent, it’s going to break more than a single controller - it’ll break every controller that allows for altitude adjustments that uses a single knob for multiple adjustments. There is simply no good reason to have the command be inconsistent and not just use SELECT ALTITUDE BUG and PLUS/MINUS for every aircraft.

Which they don’t, because other stock aircraft have the same issue - the 787 for example also doesn’t use SELECT ALTITUDE BUG.

It’s simply bad coding to make something that is a common feature - setting the altitude bug - function differently across various aircraft.

I don’t disagree but I think Asobo might - best course might be a wishlist item at this point.
