BIP/ BEEP Trim Heading select function

Hey Aerges,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, so please bear with me:

In game, we do have a CAP AFFICHE heading-select knob, that enables capturing selected headings. It's heading-bug is normally slaved to 360° unless a different heading is selected by the Cap Affiche knob. Is this a special feature of the spanish F1 variants?

When scrolling through all the manuals I have (AZ, CZ, BD and ED), there's only a BIP trim feature for the heading. If the trim button is held for greater than 0.4s, the heading-bug will be controlled by the trim button. Much like in the Mirage 2000C. The manuals also say, that the HDG bug is slaved to the lubber-line, which would make sense. Hence, the selected heading is always the current heading, unless the trim-buttons are used to set the bug. If the button is just "blipped", the heading change will be 2° per blip, which I believe is the way it is right now in game.

Now, again I'm not sure whether the spanish F1s do differ here and if the current in-game behaviour is intended as is.

Would be cool if you could give me/ us a quick message on that issue. 😀

Cheers

Hey Brems!

Feature, the Spanish aircraft (and I think potentially others) use this knob to control the input heading for the CAP mode of the AP. The BIP trim is present in the Spanish F1s too but only to adjust the heading in the base mode of the AP, within a certain range of the initial value and only in 'blipped' inputs.

Cheers
