Short flight using the HOT3 missiles

[fjacobsen]

Here is one of my first succesfull flights.

 

I take off, then fly to my attack positi and use the AP to stabilise the Gazelle inorder to shoot at some APC's with HOT3, then get back to Groom Lake for a somewhat decent landing.

Nice job. Do you use the default setting or did you add curves/saturation ?

 

I have trouble to turn the slave mode on...

I have trouble to turn the slave mode on...

 

I use Saturation Y: 80 and Curvature: 20 set for Pitch, Roll and Yaw.

 

First i get into a steady hover, then I setup the sighting system camera and then engage AP Slave mode.

gyro on ?

Autopilot on ?

conditions OK ? ( Vs <0,5 etc ..)

if on copilot side once autohover engaged, be aware to use the auto collective ( C key ) you'll see it's engaged when your velocity still on the 0 vertical speed.

I have no problems with AP Autohover and Slavemode.

 

Important is to have Airspeed below 18 Km ( 9 knots on the infobar) and VVI around zero.

I have only used Slave mode when the Sighting system was on and aligned with the target and had no problems engaging it under these conditions.

 

When disconnecting - remember to align the control settings with the AP settings, clearly shown on the control indicator.

 

My landing is not perfect and I clearly needsome practice, but it is achievable.
