Cthulhus Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hello How can I engage the auto pilot ? I read some posts here and it seems to be easy but for me, nothing happen when I set the different modes on the DDI panel. I missed something but what ? Any ideas ?

Dejjvid Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Modes on the DDI? Press A/P on the UFC, then select eg.

Cthulhus Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sorry, no DDI, my bad it's UFC. And I did what you said and nothing ...

Dejjvid Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 You need zero stick input when activating. I just switched deadzone to 1 (as found in other threads here) and set curvature to 12. Oh my god she got smooth, and no small rolls here and there. i7 8700K | GTX 1080 Ti | 32GB RAM | 500GB M.2 SSD | TIR5 w/ Trackclip Pro | TM Hotas Warthog | Saitek Pro Flight Rudder [sigpic]http://www.132virtualwing.org[/sigpic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhus Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 I found the issue; the F/A-18C don't work well on "Game flight mode"... I set it off and now it's fine.

Malek Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 There is another issue why the autopilot might not engage. According to the manual, you should set the "Attitude Source Switch" below the UFC to standby during the start up, but with this switch in standby the autopilot will not engage. So I leave it on auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I leave it on auto. Thanks for your post. It seems DCS manual is faulty. In NATOPS manual, before taxi procedures, III-10-13 : "Place the attitude selector switch to STBY, check that the velocity vector disappears and pitch ladder is referenced to waterline symbol ( W ). Verify INS ATT caution is displayed. Check that standby attitude reference indicator is erect and HUD pitch ladder appears. Verify Xs appear in CH 1/3 of the PROC row on the FCS page. Return the switch to AUTO". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
