ADF tuning with active coopilot

I noticed that you can tune the ADF even with coopilot turned on. Couldn't it be solved so that this works with VOR stations as well? The video also shows that you have to zoom in on the instrument panel a lot if you want to press something on it. In this case, you can't see much of the surroundings...

The copilot auto-tunes VORs nearby and eventually it might also tune the ADF if the route has an NDB approach planned.

The EC135 also has an autopilot so you don't really need the copilot to just fly the route. And then you're in full control of the frequency tuning.

I know all this, thank you. But believe me, sir, the simulator would be much easier to use if the VOR could be tuned like this. It wouldn't be bad if I could switch between the coopilot and the autopilot with, say, the NAV, ALT or HDG buttons. It would also be a smart solution if I could set the frequency by tapping on the radio station on the map, like in the X-Plane simulator. It wouldn't be bad if it remembered the set frequency when I went to the Location menu, for example. I have a couple more ideas...
