Altitude Select is in Meters?


Recommended Posts

Is this intentional? If so it seems a weird design choice since everything else is in feet.

I set it to 6000 and it leveled off at 19,700 feet.

It is in feet.

Well as an ex airliner I have to tell you that you will need to cope with units all the time: Wind in m/s in Russia, quarts, liters....And when transitionnng over black sea you cleared from FL330 to FL110 meters! And what do you expect from French engineers!? ;-)

What is the setting in DCS options menu ? Imperial or metric ?

 

Just trying to figure out...

Am I setting it right? I set the three bugs to 0 6 0 (00) and it still climbs and levels out way past 6000ft.

Okay,

To use select altitude hold you must:

 

1. Set the AP on (the AP light must be green).

2. Select the altitude with the drums

3. Enable the system by clicking on the ALT AFF buttons until the green one is lit.

 

Still we will check the system ASAP.

Yeah it behaves like normal altitude select autopilot. It begins a modest climb and then levels out at 15,000ft+

I also can't seem to get it to descend.
