Heading Center Feature Suggestion

[Dynon101]

Can you make the heading bug center when the knob is pushed in?

This would be a very convenient feature for times when the autopilot is tracking LNAV and makes a course chege at a waypoint then after the autopilot completes the turn and gets the wind vector figured out the pilot simply needs to push the center of the knob in to center the heading bug...as opposed to spinning the knob to match the new heading.

Uhhh, it already will do this. Just press the heading knob in and the bug will go to that heading. Maybe I don't understand what you are asking.

I tried to do that however nothing happens when I push the knob in.

I am running the most recent revision of the software.

Try pushing the knob in and holding it for a couple seconds. This is documented in the Skyview users guide, rev Y, page 4-39, but it's in the control knob module documentation.
