sunski34 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Yesterday I did some tests.... flying with Autopilot (master swich) ON then OFF. Easy Mode is OFF, trim on rudder is OFF on settings. Test on 2.5 OB Update 5. No change on standard analog joystick axis parameters. It's strickly the same, no difference. When AP OFF, it's very easy to stabilize the Gazelle, as if AP was ON !!! I tried to set ON/OFF the three switches for AP roll, AP pitch and AP rudder ... with master AP ON then OFF.... No change !!! I didn't test with the last switch ALT/VIT OFF AP but I think it's the same... I tried to turn OFF gyro, and then again, no change !!! With AP ON or OFF. So, AP switches seems not working !

Pat01 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hi, If you notice no changing, switching the Gyro and the Autopilot Off, it means you definitely have Something wrong on your side. Autopilot off, means no more trimming system, coordinated turn, auto-hover, speed/alt modes, slaved mode. GYRO off, means no coordinated turn, auto-hover, speed/alt modes, slaved mode. Only trimming system can be used without gyro, but needs Autopilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunski34 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) No, I mean that joystick sensibility and gazelle reaction are the same with or without AP. For example to do an hover (manually), I have the same feeling, Gazelle seems to be with AP ON. If it's not the case, I thought doing an hover with AP OFF was harder than with AP ON. In 1.5 that was the case I'm sure ! Of course, I know that auto hover needs Gyro ON. I will test flying without Gyro to see. The test was done in MP not SP.... I will test in SP.

sunski34 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) I did new tests.... in that case SP only Gyro off, yes there's a difference when flying, it's more difficult to do a manual hover. But Gyro On, when flying with AP (ON then OFF), I didn't notice a real change sorry :cry: in that particular manoeuver. So in that case, does AP help on manual hover or not?

borchi_2b Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 When the Gyro is activ the AP is also engaged in the background and helps your helicopter to be more stable. Gyro on and AP on means you can really use the Autopilot functions like alt hold or heading hold. Gyro uses the AP channel to actually make use of the SAS system in the end and makes your helicopter more stable. I hope I explained it correct http://www.polychop-sims.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunski34 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Ok, so I understand when Gyro ON and AP OFF, there's still an help to be more stable. When AP ON (and associated switches) that helps only for heading hold and alt/speed hold. Correct? If Gyro off, no AP in any case (switches AP ON or OFF) even in background, so no more help on stability. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat01 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 sunski34 Gyro and AP logic has been reworked here, you may experience something different with the next update. Thanks for your patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
