Engine Governor Trim Key Events have no effect in Code

I'm using the INCREASE_HELO_GOV_BEEP, DECREASE_HELO_GOV_BEEP in RPN and while they do have an effect when I bind them to a keyboard button and push it, they don't have any effect in my XML PRN Update code. I guess that's due to the reason they are increasing and decreasing the trimmer as a ratio per second, not a fixed value per button press. Is there any way around it? A SET_HELO_GOV_BEEP Event would be even better.

Hello @GutsherrBus9

You are right, these events are only supported through inputs at the moment as they require info about the elapsed time the action has been active.
They are ineffective when called programmatically at the moment.
I have forwarded the information to our systems developers so this is reviewed.

Thank you for the feedback.

Regards,
Sylvain

Adding on to this - I'd suggest that the ability to control the governor trim from inside the cockpit is quite important so as to allow control without the user having to configure keybinds that they or may may not be aware even exist.
