Su-25T Autopilot wrong direction?

[Inrideo]

So I've started the Su-25T lessons, and I'm seeing something weird about the autopilot and the flight director. They're more than happy to go in the wrong direction.

 

And I don't mean that they'll correct to the intended flight path as designed.

 

I tested it yesterday and my plane flew a few hundred kilometers before bingo fuel ended the trip. And it was flying directly away from the waypoint.

 

For the test I just used 'A' rather than any of the alt + # versions.

 

I don't see where I'm going wrong and have watched some youtube videos on it. Any tips?

 

 

PS. It was very enlightening to find out about resetting the trim after coming out of an autopiloted maneuver. I'd found my joystick drifting the other day and couldn't find any conflicts in settings and that discovery fixed it right up :D

Alt-6 to select the route follow auto pilot. Alt9 to disengage. Print the beniboy's keyboard map.

Sorry I'm on mobile.

Yeah. I had done alt-6 and was getting strange results, and since it does the route follow I used the plain 'A' as a test to see if going as-the-crow-flies would make a difference.

 

And yup, I use alt-9 so my trim resets :)

Oooh, those keyboard maps are nice :D

[Elwood]

Yes. Cannot leave the runway without those as I'm not flying much on fc3 or su25t.

Did you keep the route?

Anyway A should work....
