Heading bug sync AND autopilot heading hold on

Post by HomeGuard » 12 Oct 2020, 16:50

Has anybody managed to program the following two events simultaneously:
- Sync the heading bug to the planes present heading
- Set AP Heading hold on to the present (and bug) heading

I have no problem getting heading hold to work, if I move the heading bug manually first,
but it would be very nice to be relieved of that operation.

Send Simulation Event.

Heading Bug Set

use Paramater Value OF -- Plane Heading Degrees Magnetic


That will do the same thing as the old Heading Sync button would do.

add a pause or say 100 ms and then use the command:

AP_PANEL_HEADING_HOLD


However ..... if you want to do both those actions at the same time can you not just use the Heading Hold command? That will capture the current Heading when you enable that mode.....

AP_HDG_HOLD_ON
