AP HDG value display shifts digits

    v1.0.4 (and prior) … I now can reproduce (trigger) the shifted HDP digit bugs (and I have a video too, if needed)

    • I activate the AP … and set a HDG
    • When I use the 3D cockpit button … I can turn on-off the HDG hold just fine
    • When I use the command binding for "Toggle AP HDG Hold" then
      • the Y base point for the last (third) digit starts to shift from the normal base line
      • and multiple toggle actions continue to shift the base line … while also changing the on-off state.

    Not sure which language is used for the AP code … but if it where "C" then this somehow would feel like "memory corruption" to me, as there is no logical relationship between the on-off state … and a base drawing coordinate … the only logical relationship seems to be the code (struct) proximity.

        Please share the video. We’ve never used command bindings to test the autopilot (except for master AP engage/disengage), so likely that’s why I’ve never seen the issue.

            In this video … https://www.objectfarm.org/Public/Misc/2022.12.03-MSFS-MV22B-Bug-AP-HDG_digit_jump.mp4 … you can see:

            • 0:00 … a shifted third HDG digit
            • 0:01 … I press the 3D HDG Hold button … the digit stays as it is
            • 0:08 … I turn the HDG dial … it corrects the display again
            • 0:20 … I start using the HDP Hold command binding … and now the third digit starts jumping
            • 0:26 … now even the second digit did jump … from 220 to 210
              • however … the Osprey is not trying to turn … it stays on 220 deg
              • … so this is only messing with the display, and not the real "target HDG" setpoint.

                    It seems that the input binding is outputting decimal values (x.1-x.9) while the knob rotation gives exact integer values, hence the issue.

                    We are looking at a possible solution.

                  I just checked with v1.1.1 … and I just wanted to drop a quick note that this bug is still present.
