Help for AutoPilot

[williehayesjr]

Can anyone help with the sequential procedures to initiate the autopilot for the SU 27?

A to engage the Autopilot

 

Also look in the game settings to see what keybindings engage which autopilot

[williehayesjr]

Yes, I understand as much Razo+r. But, do I hit the "A" first then the key combination (Alt Hold, Route Follow etc.) or the other way around?

Choose type of AP then "A" to engage/disengage.

Choose the waypoints to follow for the Autopilot in the NAV mode (key #1) and then hit A for engage or disengage

 

the combinations like alt+3 engages the designated Mode for the Autopilot, and same as above, 1st time pressing Engage, 2nd time disengage

Thanks; Just one more thing. When do I use LAlt/9. Sometimes repeatedly pressing the A key gives some very unexpected out of control behavior by the aircraft.

yeah, because then you turn off and turn the autopilot on again, and if you do that several times, the autopilot trys always to regain control

 

Also the autopilot sesets the trim, that's also something that you might should know before turning off the autopilot

They broke autopilot "return to level flight" mode few updates ago. It works, but it puts the plane in 250 meter/minute nose down attitude. Youll need to use barometric alt hold to keep the plane level now. It was perfectly level before.
