Hello,does anyone know if we can use keyboard assignments, and then convert them to Joystick assignments to controll the vertical speed and altitude settings in FS9 at all,ie set up a keyboard assignment to increase or decrease the feet per min up or down of the vertical speed, and the same for the actual altitude setting?thanks in advance.

It looks like you can. In the settings/assignments are -altitude bug and -autopilot pitch ref up and -autopilot pitch ref down and each can be operated by joystick or keyboard. It says.

thanks very much,Happy New Year,
