747 HDG knob question

[FlyinIron406 3]

Hi Guys,I was wondering, does the 747 have a synchronize switch, so the heading will sync to the current heading being flown?

Kreg,This feature is not present on the real aircraft and isn't on ours either...

Sadly not.but it gives you something to do in the cruise between turning pages of the newspaper.It drifts off quite quickly when flying near the magnetic pole as variation changes rapidly.CheersJon

I've never even heard of a synchronize switch. What planes have it?On another note, Jon, good to see you posting. Hope everything is going well. :)
