Well weekend caught up with me i recalled the stick. Got the autopilot working! Got the roll pitch up better with a recalibration of the stick. Will look at the training videos now. This is great advice!

This is great info! Thanks again for your time. I just made a nice chart on all the controls, That helped me bring all the different represenations together. I will post. So back to the two remaining issues. The Autopilot. Are the keys to assign it called LAAP Path Hold, LAAP Altitude heading Hold etc? (And corrispond to the 2,3,4,A keys?) if so I will check to see if anything was mapped to that. The Trim keys. Trim button works. But any air start mission If I left the stick alone the plane will immediatly pitch right and rolls reletively quickly. Thus maybe I am trying to correct and it is hitting with autopilot? You would think that if a mission starts in autopilot (training) it would be stable. So I will check the calibration of the stick. Check the Rudder to see if anything is mapped to it. and place the A key to an empty stick button. That brings up one more thing, with the brakes are they either "On or OFF" it seems that way. I tried to map the brakes to the rudder toe, but it seems not to work until I use the W button. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the help. Got the mission running. Even edited it. The Hawgs started too far away and I could not catch up to the tanker. So I edited the mission! yeah. Still have to try the new one. The Radios got mapped to the stick (X645). Just have to solve the autopilot thing. Thanks again!

Got the mission to work. But not good with Radios yet so not sure it worked out like it was supposed to!

On the A/P the Narrator says he is going to engage, while I let go of the stick the plane rolls right hard and will crash. Will try the mission now. I extracted it and placed it with the other files but it did not load up.

Thanks, Love the learning curve. So I'll try setting A/P in flight, but I wonder why it does not work in the training missions. So when I start the airborne ones I have to trim the heck out of the plane to get it stable then can follow directions. But when he says I will engage Autopilot in the middle it does not work. I do get the girls voice saying autopilot but no change.

THanks is there a center the pod command?

I just started A-10 from years of IL-2 and months of RoF. I looked for these on the forums but could not find answers yet. 1. In the training missions. The narrator says I will place the plane in autopilot. Not only does that not happen, I cannot seem to set autopilot at all, in any manner. Is it more that depressing the button on the left panel? 2. I wanted to try the refueling mission downloadable from the web site. The mission does not show up. I changed the name to the .miz file, it shows up as selectable, but when I do the game goes to the main screen. How do you use the mission files from the site? 3. When I use bombs or Mavericks on the training missions, I get the target point lined up and fire/drop the first weapon. After that I cannot seem to get the TV screen/targeting pod back on target. It gives me a gimbel error and I can never seem to get it back on target, even when I am setting the soi. What am I missing? Thanks for your time!
