AP_VS_VAR_INC & AP_VS_VAR_DEC events through simconnect do not cause the KAP140 to display VS speed.

[ancrm114d]

When using simconect calls for events AP_VS_VAR_INC & AP_VS_VAR_DEC the VS speed does change but it is not shown on the KAP140 display.

This is the same behavior as in the stock Asobo C152 without the mod so not sure if this should be called a bug or a feature request.

When the UP/DOWN buttons are pressed with the mouse the KAP140 display shows the current VS speed then reverts to showing the set altitude setting.

This is down to how Asobo coded the kap140. However, if you are using third party controller software (spad I know works, the others I can only assume work also) you can access H: variables that can be used for the vs up/ down and the altitude knob and have it reflect on the screen .
