Magnetic trim not working as of latest patch and speed altitude autopilot reversed

[WildBillKelsoe]

As above. I'll post a vid explaining the problems, maybe because I come from uh1 its not felt to work? Also autopilot top position does not hold altitude hands off while bottom (speed) position does. Pointers?

So I just flew about an hour long mission and used both altitude and speed modes.

 

So altitude mode you have to make sure your VVI is 0 and speed is above 120 kph. I assign it to a switch on my throttle so it's on constant when I activate it. As long as I don't pitch up or down to hard, or slow down - it will hold the altitude. You'll also be able to turn pretty nicely too. In this mode, collective will control speed.

 

The speed mode is similar, expect the only criteria is to be above 120 kph. In this mode collective will control height.

 

I'll see if I can make a video this weekend.

I'll test now these parameters and report back with a video either ways. Thanks Roie.

Roie.. I tested it can you confirm if it is intended in my video?

Hard to tell since the collective wasn't moving much. I'll try to make a video later showing it's usage.

Ok thank you

Here you go:

 

 

If you have issues, we can always do a flight together and I can see what the issue is.

As it is now in code

Speed limits for speed mode is 120-225 km/h

Altitude mode 120-211 km/h

 

Values over limits may have unexpected effects, like diving in altitude mode because the autopilot cannot hold altitude anymore at the speed the mode was engaged (autopilot trying to pîtch the helicopter down to maintain the overspeed).

Left you a reply there, redownloading. Will report back if its sorted. Thanks Roie and Pat.

again, I cant get altitude mode to engage properly. My VVI is on 0 and speed is 200 km/h. According to chucks manual, the collective would be the problem if its above required to keep VVI and would cause pitch down moments, and pitch up moments if below required for VVI, until it lights PA on attention panel by bleeding speed to less than 120 km/h. I'll post a video as this issue above all others is getting on my nerves now. Speed (Vitesse) mode which I understand works flawlessly even though real pilots don't use it at all (Aerospatiale fluke? No intel).

Have you managed to figure out the issue mate? I was flying the Gazelle a lot today and the AP altitude hold was working just fine. Have you tried trimming the cyclic first to maintain 0 VVI before engaging the AP?

it does not work at all, even in hover there is always stick pressure needed. its not like huey at all. I can see stick moving to new position but I still have to hold it by grip. I am posting a video as its irritating me.
