Lixma 06 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Using 'Transition to Level Flight' (RALT-7) the autopilot gets the shakes. It starts at around 550kph and gets worse the faster you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marduk879 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Same here. Almost sure this isnt how the altitude hold(default "H") should behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeriaGloria Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It is, just like the Sukhois, the auto pilot is only designed for a certain speed range. It’s gain isn’t meant to handle all speeds, just like a quadcopter oscillates with too strong of motors Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marduk879 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Flanker doesnt suffer from any of these problems you describe. Altitude hold works just fine. On high speeds it just takes time to stabilize sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auditor Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Try turning off autopilot damper beforehand. But be SURE to turn it back on before you land, otherwise the plane will yell at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepin1234 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Don’t confuse autopilot with recovery emergency. Just before you hit H, try to get the vertical speed close to zero and the same with roll the most horizontal possible. Also both parameters should be stable at the moment of hit H (not increasing or decreasing) So will rock Edited October 11, 2018 by pepin1234 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Bridges Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 How do I switch off the Autopilot? I press H and an unable to get control back. there is a light on the right side that shows TRIMMER RP (in cyrillic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I press H and an unable to get control back. there is a light on the right side that shows TRIMMER RP (in cyrillic) The autopilot works by adjusting the trim. When you cancel the autopilot, you're "in control", just the plane is trimmed weird depending on what you were doing e.g. if you cancel autopilot in a turn. If you want it back 100%, you also have to reset the trim. VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

Burning Bridges Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Thanks. But I still think I am doing something wrong. Lets say I hit H and then what to return to pilot control? "A" , "LShift A" or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VC Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I don't remember the default key bindings because I don't use the keyboard. But you need to press "Reset Autopilot" followed by "Reset Trim". At least that's what I do. VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

Burning Bridges Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 ok that is LShift-A plus whatever I used for reset trim (I have it on Ctrl + some joystick button). Will try asap, thanks! P.S. there are some lights on the bottom left of the cockpit that light up when autopilot is on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VC Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Each one is a different autopilot function, but I don't know off the top of my head which is which. One that's on all the time is the pitch damper, you can turn this off as well but it requires holding "reset autopilot" for 3 seconds. One I think is just a generic "AP is on", then additional lights for what type e.g. roll hold, altitude hold etc. VC =X51= Squadron is recruiting!

MAD-MM Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I fly the MIG with MS Sidewinder, but also it goes absoute crazy when i try Altitude Holde.. Anyone Experience with the Sidewinder?

AeriaGloria Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I fly sidewinder. Alt hold can be tricky, I recommend finding a sweet spot I need speed where the gains work without causing oscillations. Easy to do even without AP since sidewinders can’t use curves or dead zones. In addition to bring in the right speed range I get best results when activating alt hold when I move already level and holding alt. Hope this helps.

enigma6584 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I've just gotten the Mig-29 module myself the last week and have been reading up, testing how the autopilot works, still confused a bit. Been reading through this thread and was wondering if anyone knows of a video or tutorial on how to use this aircraft feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I've just gotten the Mig-29 module ... and was wondering if anyone knows of a video or tutorial on how to use this aircraft feature? Cap did a short autopilot tutorial for Su-27, Su-33, Mig-29 & Su-25 recently. Note: IIRC, when I flew the Su-25T regularly - I used Altitude, Attitude, Autopilot OFF and Trim reset keybinds but kept away from the other modes. Edit: I found DevRim's English Cockpit particularly useful for checking which autopilot mod I was in when starting out, so you may want to try that.

Kazansky222 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 So if I'm just in straight and level flight, and set the autopilot to altitude hold, the plane holds altitude, but it just shimmies on the ailerons ever so slightly, back and forth, same thing when I use attitude hold.

Oceandar Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 That happens if your speed is too fast around 1k kmh. Try lowering your speed around 600 - 800 kmh if my memory serves me well CMIW.

Skuva Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) As of 2.8.4.39313, this is still a problem. It happens with all variants at all speed on all Autopilot modes. Can be instantly reproduced. Edited April 25, 2023 by Skuva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only it makes unbearable to use at speeds above 650kmh, it also mess up your trim, requiring you to always reset it and adjust againg after disengaging the AP.
