Hi,

 

Will the ability to dial headings/speeds/VS etc be coming any time soon? I notice that your competition has found a way to achieve this so it must be possible..

 

Many thanks for your consideration,

James

There's no way to do it properly.

We can't "read" the value for what's set in the Heading window.  No one can.

The only way to do it would be to have the user constantly sync to a known value, and then try to track the number of times the knob was turned to try to guess the new value.

It would diminish the experience rather than adding to it.

Besides, as mentioned, when the autopilot is on (which is basically all the time in an Airbus in normal ops), the PF retains jurisdiction over the FCU.
