    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

There is the control binding called 'Set Heading Indicator', which when triggered will automatically correct the heading indicator. I use the 2020 keyboard control bindings selection in 2024, so it is bound to the keyboard key 'D' in my case, as it was by default in 2020.
 
Thank you. I'll have to play with that. I just tried setting that up and changing the input mid-flight and it shut done the sim when I went to resume flight
