How To - Autopilot Keybinds

Featured Replies

  • Staff

You can use the following default events/keybinds to map the various buttons on the glareshield autopilot panel.
Note: Some functions are not mapped due to lack of available equivalent in the sim. Use of Simconnect Event IDs is recommended over direct LVAR, however also provided for reference.
