I am trying to implement all helipcopter hardware bindings in SPAD.next instead of using the controller setup in MSFS 2024. So far I  have only managed to bind the cyclic, but I am struggling to assign 1) the collective axis, 2) the engine throttle (grip) axis, and 3) the cyclic trim. I am using the information within the SDK https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/6_Programming_APIs/Key_Events/Helicopter_Specific_Events.htm, but I am having no joy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I ended up here searching for the same thing.

Thanks to your SDK link I think I've cracked it.

You don't mention your hardware but I am using a Velocity One Flightstick I published the profile  on SPAD.next (ID:12750).

It doesn't include throttle as I haven't found that necessary - the heli governor thing seems to deal with it.

The collective needed the range -16384 to 16384 (contrary to what the SDK says). And the trick with the trim was to bind the hatswitch held events not the button pressed events.

I hope that helps you or anyone else doing the same search.
