autopilot bugged out?

Recommended Posts

yesterday i was trying to navigate waypoints but accidently switched to return mode which threw off the autopilot, and when i went back to the normal nav mode it went berserk and started tossing my poor flanker around while trying to get back to the waypoint course literally to the point that it stalled me out while i was being thrashed around like fish on land (and of course there's always the horrid rocking back and forth that we all know and love :P)

is there a way to go back and find older tracks?

 

If it was in Single Player, and you did not save it, it is gone.

Did you try resetting the AutoPilot? I think its "left Alt+ 9"

 

yes i actually mapped that and my autopilot to two buttons on my hotas, although the autopilot would literally throw itself out of its own jurisdiction, so i couldn't tell if the flanker was acting off of the autopilot or not

I've been having the same issues - crazy mad oscillations as the autopilot attempts to settle onto the route to the next waypoint.

Yeah, autopilot is pretty buggy. Maybe it's accurate and realistic, I don't know. So, these are either sim bugs or real aircraft bugs but bugs nonetheless :).

 

However, the autopilot can be made to work. The key is two things: go fast enough (say > 800km/h) and trim the aircraft before engaging autopilot. The latter applies to pitch mostly, I rarely have to trim anything else (unless carrying unbalanced payload).

 

Even so, route following causes oscillations at every turn, but they eventually stabilize.
