Hi, im using AAO 4.54 b08 with msfs 2020 1.39.9.0 trying to bind heading bug sync to current plane heading using included ACT_HEADING_TO_AP script which is (A:PLANE·HEADING·DEGREES·GYRO,·Degrees)·(>K:HEADING_BUG_SET) and no matter what i do - it just wont, everything seems to work: decreasing and increasing other values, AAO detects the key itself, script itself sees correct heading in debug window but nonetheless AAO just wont send input and green light on this bind never lights up. Literally any info and help really appreciated. AAO is in admin mode and plane selection doesnt matter - same result

By more testing and playing around script editor i found that if i press test - it syncs just fine, then i close editor and try to assigned button - nothing, im at a loss

Apparently you are doing something wrong when assigning the button? Can you share a screenshot what your assignment looks like?

Are you quite sure that the keyboard combo is even working? The "F" - keys are probably not ideal, because they already have a purpose of their own. I always use things like Ctrl-Q or Ctrl-W for testing.

Be mindful that in AAO you have to press the keys one after the other when assigning a keyboard combo on this dialog, not at the same time.

Assigned key on screenshot is wonky, it is only F1. Also no matter what i bind it to wont work, any other assignments and even other rpn scripts will work with F1, just not this one

Sorry, no idea. Doesn't make sense to me.

One thing though: this script only uses a default SDK variable and event. This does not necessarily work for every aircraft. 

(yes, I know that you said that it works with the Test button. It is just something to be aware of).

Well, thats unfortunate. Anyway thank you for support. Im aware of compatipabilty with different planes but it doesnt work even with default asobo ones. Is there any way to debug this? Like log of things aao sending to sim

You can watch the script processing, there is an option for that in the "Scripting" menu.

I can't check this out, I'm not at my computer. I will take a look tonight (although it really doesn't make any sense).

What you can try is assign the RPN code directly in the button. Copy the script code from the grey box at the bottom of the editor (so it doesn't have the dots in it). Then open the assignment, switch the "Key Down" option to "MAN", select "RPN:" and paste the code into the textbox.

One other thing: did you delete this assignment and tried with a new one too?
