FS2020 AP Event Discovery

User Support Hub SDK

I’ve been working on the Baron 58 autopilot panel in AirManager for a few days now trying to get it working right with the sim.

In the course of doing so, I found a few things.

AP_ALT_HOLD in FSX is now set to select the current altitude to the nearest hundred feet and hold it. The one that acts similar to FSX’s old mode of holding the selected altitude is AP_PANEL_ALTITUDE_HOLD.

AP_HDG_HOLD is the same story, select the current heading to the nearest degree and hold it. New variable that acts as old one did is AP_PANEL_HEADING_HOLD.

I also found an undocumented AP_VS_HOLD that toggles the VS hold function in FS2020 by just trying it and seeing what a happened when triggered.

Thanks for sharing this. That would help others (like me) spend less time trying to find these functions.
