wingshigh.g Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Reading this thread, trying to understand the effect of CAS. If I understand correctly, CAS is essentially switching from "manual" to "fly by wire"? Sounds like this is the basic requirement of having autopilot function, which is logical. My other question is, obviously with or without CAS depends on the situation, what is the criteria for having this on or off?

My other question is, obviously with or without CAS depends on the situation, what is the criteria for having this on or off? CAS should be on at all times in the real aircraft, switching it off would only be in case of emergency. Right now keep the yaw cas off if there is wind because there is a bug.

wingshigh.g Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Tks. I never paid attention to it but are the three CAS channels on by default?
AceRevo Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Ive never used CAS on as its default OFF, so Im doing it wrong? May that be the reason why my plane will roll uncontrolable by pulling the stick too hard (as in a highspeed tight turn)?? X-55 profile for the F-15C

AceRevo Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 CAS is on by default. So when you turn CAS off a light appear for each one? When I ''turned'' CAS Pitch on (apperantly i turned it off then..) my plane just went straight down in a dive and acting weird and I thought that was CAS doing it.. :S :P X-55 profile for the F-15C
GGTharos Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Nope, that was your ability to fly the aircraft without CAS :-P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
ff4life4 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 F15 really isn't that hard to fly without CAS. I have managed to hit a tanker and refuel with the systems off. 1
AceRevo Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks, lol. I guess you dont really need to priority CAS on your HOTAS then, I just noticed its quite easy to hit it up on your keyboard (Ctrl+1-3). I ask this becouse Im working on ''fine-tuning'' my HOTAS, and having it up for share. I want it perfect lol :) X-55 profile for the F-15C
wingshigh.g Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 But CAS does not prevent departure, correct? I would think it should help, but I always have problem with F15 at high altitude pulling just around 3g.
GGTharos Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 It helps, yes, it does some things to try and prevent you from departing but it won't stop you. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
fitness88 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 What i find funny is that we have went through several updates of the game from when this thread was started and nothing has been done to alievate the bloody trim issue.. I gave up on even checking if ATT/ALT hold has been updated. Regardless it's still easier to fly the a10c straight and level then the f15 due to trim control. O well. maybe one day we will get a decent trimming setup.. Or maybe get an option to setup trim sensitivity. currently IMHO 1 click of trim in the f15 would equal about 5-10 clicks in the a10c. ATT/ALT works well for me. ATT holds roll and pitch and ALT holds roll and altitude [you must be within 3 degrees of flight level for ALT to engage]
ED Team cofcorpse Posted November 3, 2014 ED Team Posted November 3, 2014 you must be within 3 degrees of flight level for ALT to engage To be more precise, your vertical speed (Vy) must not exceed 2000 ft/min
fitness88 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 To be more precise, your vertical speed (Vy) must not exceed 2000 ft/min Are you saying that it's only the vertical speed that determines the limits of activation for the ALT A/P.
ED Team cofcorpse Posted November 3, 2014 ED Team Posted November 3, 2014 Are you saying that it's only the vertical speed No. I just said that it's not pitch angle. Full requirements you see here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2039704&postcount=1

Full requirements you see here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2039704&postcount=1 Within 3 degrees of level flight ALT activates for me pretty much under all conditions but will de-activate given all the printed variables.
Holbeach Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) My attitude switch operates and the function works perfectly. The altitude switch doesn't move and therefore the function can't work, despite trying different assignments . Can somebody confirm their switch actually moves, in which case I need to look into it further? Edited November 4, 2014 by Holbeach ASUS 2600K 3.8. P8Z68-V.

ff4life4 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I have just used the H key on the keyboard (default) to engage the altitude switch. You have to have the Attitude switch on in order to engage the Altitude hold switch. Happy cruising

Holbeach Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Guys, if you interested, you can provide track, I'll tell what is wrong in this particular case OK, thanks to you requiring a track file, after some time fiddling, I saw the switch move and it held altitude perfectly. I hadn't realized how narrow the operating envelope was. So in conclusion, fly straight and level first, turn on attitude, turn on Altitude and it will hold. Your autopilot works as intended. Just put it down to operator error. :thumbup: ASUS 2600K 3.8. P8Z68-V. ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2080Ti, RAM 16gb Corsair. M2 NVME 2gb. 2 SSD. 3 HDD. 1 kW ps. X-52. Saitek pedals. ..
