Support for Keybinded Switches, as well as this guide is still a Work in Progress. We plan to support as many functions as possible given the limited amount of usable keybinds available.
NOTE THAT NO KEYBINDS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR EFB FUNCTIONS.

Nearly all switches (unless those with default MSFS Keybinds) can be keybinded to hardware using software such as SPAD.next and LVARs. The LVAR list is too long to fit here, but there are several methods to retrieve LVARs for any 3rd party aircraft. All LVARs on the CH47D are clearly named to make them easy to locate and bind to keys.
If you are inexperienced with finding LVARs, please read the following article by our friends at JustFlights. https://community.justflight.com/topic/5324/lvar-list/2
