AFCS off issue MH60

    Hi, I'm having a problem with the AFCS off warning message appearing on the MFD.

    How can I replicate this?
    1/ Enable the** autopilot**
    2/ **Disable **the autopilot (MASTER)
    3/ Even though SAS and TRIM are enabled, the message "AFCS off" appears on the MFD (I don't think it should, as we haven't disabled AFSC, but that's okay).
    4/ The only way to clear the "AFCS off" warning is by clicking MASTER CAUTION in the cockpit (it will disappear from the MFD).
    5/ Optionally, you can do this using the ACKNOWLEDGE MASTER WARNING button. Unfortunately, this button only clears the audio only (warning tone); the "AFCS off" warning remains. To clear it, you have to click the button in the cockpit. ACKNOWLEDGE MASTER WARNING (https://docs.miltechsimulations.com/miltech-simulations-mh60/product-information/recommended-hardware-configuration/keybinds-guide) simply doesn't clear the warning in this case from MFD, but it should as well like the main button.

    MSFS2024. PC. Marketplace, current version.

    1. This is by design. The warning notifies the pilot that Autopilot has been disconnected.
      Press the MASTER CAUTION button on the glareshield to acknowledge and remove the warning.

      Stability Augmentation System and Autopilot are two independent systems, with independent warnings.

          But as I write, it doesn't work in this case ACKNOWLEDGE MASTER WARNING button. Removes only the sound, not the warning,
          Unless you click it in the cockpit. I'm referring to the button in MSFS2024.

          So:
          1/ click Master Caution Acknowledge is ok by mouse as I wrote
          2/ ACKNOWLEDGE MASTER WARNING button (MSFS settings) doesnt work the same way < here is the problem. Looks like a bug. It should work the same as clicking in the cockpit by mouse.

          I have the button ACKNOWLEDGE MASTER WARNING pinned to my Throttle.

          1. Yes, I mean - Press the MASTER CAUTION warning using the mouse to remove this warning. I'll take a look at the keybind.

                Thank You :)! Everything is fine with clicking the mouse, I mean the assigned button to e.g. a joystick.
