Autopilot 3 Way Special for HOTAS

[JohnSF93]

Hi,

There is a three-way switch special for joystick HOTAS option for the auto pilot steering selection (heading, attitude, steering).

However there is not a three-way special control for the main auto pilot switch (altitude hold, auto pilot off, attitude hold)

I would find this extremely helpful and hope that this can be considered. Thank you.

FYI, You can do this already.

About a year ago, they added the ability to select the _OFF version of joystick buttons using the Key / Button drop down on the Assignment Panel.

If you bind the ALT HOLD and ATT HOLD normally and then bind both _OFF versions of those buttons to A/P OFF, that should get you the equivalent of a special for joystick binding

That is incredibly helpful and useful to know! Thank you for the advice!

Oh my god! I never knew this was even an option. Gonna rebind right away!
