jcbak Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Is there a way to immediately slew the heading selector (BUG) to the current heading without having to scroll the selector knob? In most APs you just have to push in the heading selector and the bug is slewed automatically to the current heading. The issue here is.....(unless I'm not understanding how this really works).....is that once the AP is engaged and the trim control is used to move the heading bug, the AP will turn to where the heading bug is once the AP is re-engaged as well.....which is fine in most cases, but it would be a lot more convenient to slew the bug to the current heading without having to spend the time heads down rotating the knob.

feefifofum Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'd also like to see this feature implemented, or the sensitivity of the control tuned; as it is I find I cannot use press and hold to scroll to the heading I want easily, and rolling the mouse wheel is tricky over such a small control without disabling headtracking... I must say the Mirage is shaping up to be one of my favorite aircraft in DCS, though! Keep up the great work RAZBAM!

Azrayen Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Is there a way to immediately slew the heading selector (BUG) to the current heading without having to scroll the selector knob? Yes there is a way (not yet implemented). In fact, it's only a matter of engaging the AP. No it doesn't involve the selector knob. Because this knob is not made to select a heading. Yes the Mirage is different on that aspect. ;) = = = = = = AP selected route (indicated by the green heading bug on the HSI): - resets to 12 o'clock each time you engage the AP (AP goes "green"). - then follows the AP logic - can be set by the pilot through the trim hat (left/right) HSI knob selector: - is used to tune the VAD feature of the HSI; this feature is not yet implemented; it is a way to set (and use) a temporary waypoint defined by an offset (bearing/distance) from a Tacan station. - is not used to set the heading bug (and has no relation to this bug whatsoever); yes, it may seem strange at first, but again: it's just another logic. ++ Az' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hold it down I can then turn the aircraft where ever I want or whatever heading I select. Then I release autopilot standby and autopilot takes aircraft back to where heading bug was originally set. I assumed the autopilot standby was to set up a new heading for autopilot to follow. For example; I have the autopilot on. I'm heading 270. I depress and hold autopilot standby and maneuver the aircraft to 90 and then release autopilot standby expecting autopilot to now hold this new heading I've assigned to it. Is this how it is supposed to work? If not, what is purpose of autopilot standby button? I am absolutely loving this aircraft module by the way. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrayen Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Your assumption is correct. As I said: 1/ AP selected route (indicated by the green heading bug on the HSI) resets to 12 o'clock each time you engage the AP (AP goes "green") 2/ it doesn't work at the moment (1.5.3) => bug waiting for fix.

spiddx Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 2.0.1 Update 1: I can't control the green heading indicator using the trimmer when AP is engaged. This together with the not implemented "12 o'clock reset" makes the AP unusable (plane will simply fly to whatever the green indicator is set at mission start).

Azrayen Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 As the knob is not supposed to move the heading green bug, I would say 2.0.1 is better than 1.5.3 ;) Please don't "fix" the knob => it would only make it back to an incorrect feature.

Jep, but the knob also not working (although it's supposed to in sim) may be indicative of what the problem is... I don't want the knob per se "fixed" to the incorrect behaviour either, I've never used it before tbh. The trimmer is so much more convenient anyways.

spiddx Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 than how to use it for ap?:huh: You should be able to use trim left/right while AP is engaged to move the heading indicator. This works fine in 1.5, but not in 2.0 currently. The HSI knob has nothing at all to do with the green indicator irl.

36Toro Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 ok, it works ... just that you have to hold the trim in the pov long time. I thought fails to make the roll in this mode. however, now it 's clear. Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
