dresoccer4 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 so i'm playing the Mt. Elbrus rescue mission, but with the huey swapped out for the Mi-8. when i begin the mission with the hot start option, i can't get the Pitch/Roll autopilot button to stay on. i can activate the heading and altitude buttons OK, but when i click the pitch/roll autopilot button, it flashes green for a millisecond then turns off. i've been flying the Mi-8 for a while now and haven't seen this happen. any ideas what could be causes this behavior? thanks!

msalama Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Is it powered up properly? All necessary switches and fuses on? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dresoccer4 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Is it powered up properly? All necessary switches and fuses on? i believe so. if the other autopilot functions are working (altitude heading), wouldn't that mean the pitch/roll should as well?

Art-J Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Well, not quite. Pitch&roll channel needs co-pilot's attitude indicator to work (as it uses indicator's gyros to retrieve orientation from), so IF there's anything wrong with that instrument, the channel won't work either, while the rest of the autopilot will. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Maverick24 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I know - stupid question, but - do you have maximum throttle and both generators on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospadin Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 interesting. thanks for the info.this happens after a brand new loading of the game and the vehicle is hot. so nothing should be broken. but i'll go in and give her a fresh inspection now to see whats up Pitch/Roll autopilot should be enabled by default for "Parking Hot" and "Runway" starts.

Zimmerdylan Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Oddly enough, this is an issue that I have started having after last update also. I have been flying this chopper from day one and have gone over everything but it just doesn't stay on. Hmm...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msalama Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Must be the hot starts only, since ground power assisted and battery cold starts still work 100%. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Trooper Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) No problem seen here also (cold start or hot start) but I have not tried cold and high hot starts for a while. The pitot tubes are hot and toasty before you depart? I do not believe these are on with a hot start but I am unsure in cold conditions.

elaintahra Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 "Pitch&roll channel needs co-pilot's attitude indicator to work (as it uses indicator's gyros to retrieve orientation from" This happened to me also, so I turned that on from right triangle switchbox and uncaged the attitude indicator and it worked. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
