I visited a friend's house recently, who owns the Captain Sim 727 Pro, and I was very pleased and surprised to see that Captain Sim have now implemented *some* standard assignment offsets, which can be assigned as controller / key commands, using FSUIPC.ie....- The 727's Heading Bug now works with the [Heading Bug Var Inc] and [Heading Bug Var Dec] offsets.- Similarly the Course Bug also works with the [VOR1 OBS Var Ind and Dec] offsets.- The 727's Altitude Hold mode now works with the standard FS assignment for AP ALT HOLD.- The standard Pitch +/- assignment controls the aircrafts pitch (although visually the pitch knob doesn't move).Although some assignments do not work (such as HDG SEL, NAV, APPR buttons) with the standard offsets, it is great that Captain Sim have implemented the important ones. This means for example that people like me who use for example a GoFlight controller for their AP (I use the RP48), can use FSUIPC to map the knobs and buttons to the standard FS controls, which at last now work with the aircraft. So you can turn your heading knob on the controller, and the 727's heading knob will turn (as will the aircraft!). ..........this is so much better than fiddly mouse clicks to turn the heading knob.My question is;-Has anyone tried these on the CS 767 ? Even if you don't have hardware controllers you can test this by going into FS settings and assigning keys to the heading bug (+ and -), then, when you press these keys, does the heading bug move ?I know things like LNAV and VNAV buttons will not have assignments as they are not standard FS offsets (only Level D, PMDG and some Feelthere models give us fully customized key assignments like this), but it will still be great to know that the the 'essentials' like the Heading Bug can now be operated using key assignments in the CS 767, as they now can be in the CS 727.Thanks for any help.Davido.

I have CS767, its a great plane , some say the best 767 around today, but 1 - Its more frame rate hungary than PMDG, so you better have some CPU with Thrust if you wana use cs7672 - None of the MCP keys are mapped to FSX, i have to use mouse to control pretty much everything inside the VC, some people on CS forums have complained about this Stone Age part of CS767. The only keys that i recall work are1 - Autopilot Master2 - Landing Gear.Its so crazy i have to hold joystick with my left hand, just so i can do the normal settings you need to just after takeoff, like heading and climbrate.Luckily i have to monitors and they have a nice small version of MCP i drag acrooss to second monitor, so that things are easier.In short even though pretty much non o f the keys are mapped, CS767 does have many of those little pop up that allow you to get to things easily, still does not make up for not being able to map any of the controls to a controller or keyboard.So yes , you might have a bit of hard time getting used to how to control CS767 , especially in busy phases of flight like takeoff and landing.Heading , altitude, Air speed, etc all have to be set using mouse only, non can be mapped. They need to fix this flaw to a nice plane

Thanks for the helpful reply WarpAir. It's a shame that CS have not adopted the assignable commands approach that they now have in the 727 Pro, in the CS 767. :( I am guessing that it is because the 727 uses a standard (steam driven) HSI, rather than the EHSI in the 767 (perhaps it's easier to assign the heading bug to standard offsets in a standard HSI, than in a glass screen like the 767's).I will not be purchasing the 767 based on this, but I will be buying the 727 Pro, as the new FSX version has a stunning VC and model, and is not so reliant on mouse clicks for everything (like the heading bug), which makes operating and flying it much more intuitive and more fun. Not quite convinced on the 727 Pro's flight dynamics though - they appear almost identical to the old FS2004 'Legendary 727' flight dynamics - awful on approach! The plane drops like a stone, even with flaps 30.Ok.... the 727 is reputedly a bit unwieldly on approach, but the CS doesn't feel too realistic in this regard.The Dreamfleet 727 had the best flight dynamics I've ever flown, just so heavy yet responsive, with realistic pitch stability that seems missing in the CS models.Davido.

Then I dear to see they all don't have a clue how the real thing works :(
