Archaic Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Seems like one of the first questions real world F18 pilots ask when trying out the F18 in DCS: "Is there an auto-throttle?" I'm assuming that it adjusts throttle to maintain a speed when the button is pressed. This sure would be handy for carrier landings. Is it in the pipes? i7 - 9700k | EVGA 1080Ti | 32 DDR4 RAM | 750w PS | TM Warthog HOTAS/X-55 | Track IR 5 |
David OC Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 He knew there is an auto throttle, he didn't know how it was mapped in that pit. Not sure why he had the controls setup like they were? Even the air brake was set backwards lol. The ATC for Landing is still WIP. It works differently when in landing config, the throttle holds on speed and you keep height / glide slope with the stick. Whole different set of control logic is needed. i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

Archaic Posted November 21, 2018 Author Posted November 21, 2018 Yeah that seemed like a weird mapping. Jello from FPP noted a lack of auto-throttle when flying with Wags as well. Seems like they really use it a lot. i7 - 9700k | EVGA 1080Ti | 32 DDR4 RAM | 750w PS | TM Warthog HOTAS/X-55 | Track IR 5 |
Kayos Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Auto-throttle works fine for me. Was using it last night. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
