Auto pilot problem

[ked]

Hey guys, i've been trying the Su-33's auto pilot (ACS) and i have some questions

 

Now you have to use the radar altimeter when you're at low alt and the baro when at higher alts which is Ok to me i just had a long time figuring that out.

 

According to the early manual the radio alt hold should trigger the ground collision avoidance system if the alt is inferior to 50m or vertical speed is lower than -15m/s

 

[LAlt -5] – Switches on the radar altitude stabilization mode at altitudes between 300 to 1000m. At

a radar altitude of less than 50 meters or vertical velocity of more than -15 m/s, the "УВОД НА

ВЫСОТУ" (GROUND COLLISION AVOIDANCE MODE) mode is engaged automatically the bank angle

is zeroized and attain positive pitch using a g-load of up to 4 units.

 

During my testing I came to realise that going outside of theese parameters would just disconnect the auto pilot.

 

So i went on and tried to activate the ground collision avoidance mode first with alt 7 , and it would just put the plane up and the throttle down even when being in the flight limits (so alt was > than 50m and vertical speed > than -15m/s

 

I'm wondering if it's broken or not ?

 

 

I also used to do this a lot: put baro alt hold (H key) and then roll around so i could turn and keep my altitude, now you can't because the ACS is also countering your roll inputs. It's the same thing with refuel mode (and this one is a pain in the ass if you're refueling in a turn)

 

Bug or feature ?

 

I'm all for realism so if it's a feature from the aircraft i'm all for it, otherwise theese issues might be bugs and i'm happy to report them.

 

Tell me what you guys think and have a great time with our Russian Shark

 

PS: traps are amazing BTW, brakes seem a little weak and with the old carrier mecanics you can't really go to after burner without moving already. Is it gonna be better with new carrier mecanics ? are we gonna be able to hold our position with afterburner on like every good carrier based aircraft ? :)

In regards to the Breaks. There are Two modes. Normal Toe breaks with 110kg pressure and Wheels break Start with 200kg of pressure. It will Work much better Ehen Spooling up for Take off

Hey thanks but i can't seem to find the command name for that particular thing i have left, right and both. I also have a shift W command but it has the same name as the W command so i'm not sure if that's it

[Chrinik]

Shift+W is the one. It´s not an axis, it´s a button (lever actually on the stick), Pilots hold it down manually and it´s got nothing to do with the normal toe breaks.

Thanks for the tip !

Wheel Brake Start and yes its Shift+W
