I have a default HOTAS buttons for the MSFS "Autopilot on/off" commands.
When I fly in AP mode I often do this:
-
CPLD is in ARM
-
I set the HDG … and press its Hold = "ON" button
-
I set the VS … and press its Hold = "ON" button
-
… then I press CPLD … to get "ACT"
-
now when I press CPLD again … CPLD goes to "ARM" … and both Hold buttons go to "Off" (black).
However, when I use the "Autopilot on/off" buttons … I can get CPLD from "ACT" to "ARM" … and the Hold buttons stay "green (ON)" (which is actually what I did expect) … and then I can reactivate the CPLD again back to "ACT" and it directly goes back to the "On" Hold settings.
At least there is an inconsistency between the MSFS command and the CPLD cockpit button.
I have no idea what the real Osprey AP does in this case … I do prefer the behavior of the MSFS command … but primarily it should be consistent.

Noted - I can replicate the issue. Autopilot does disengage but lights remain on. Will fix shortly.
