please make auto-collective a special tab option

[wolle]

Auto-collective currently is a "cheat" that comeswith the auto-hover auto-pilot function (it can be activated/deactivated by pressing "C"). Some of us think (I do) it is not necessary, the collective can be easily adjusted to stay at a given height above ground. Please make it a special tab option, so that the ones who want it can activate it, but the ones who don't want it can make it permanently disappear.:thumbup:

Isn't that possible to simply unbind the key, if you're concerned about pressing it inadvertently?

That wont do because autocollective defaults to on.

Indeed, some missions seem to have it enabled from the start, like the weapon training at least (haven't seen another yet). It's a mission trigger apparently, it can easily be removed. I often felt the need for options when starting some missions, like cold start / runway for instance. This could be another good example if implemented one day :)

 

I suppose the idea is the same as the Huey, you're one user in a two-seat aircraft and sometimes you need to rely on some extra features to help doing the job of two people.
