DGC338 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 I have looked in the NATOPS but can’t find the specific reference as to whether the ATC function targets IAS or MACH or if it targets one then the other. I.e targets IAS then at a certain Altitude it crosses over and targets MACH, and what if that is the case is the crossover point. It seems in game that it targets a MACH number at any altitude (speed set at 310 at SL then climb and the IAS will decrease with Alt) which seems wrong to me. On a aircraft that is not limited MACH no wise in military thrust. Most airlines autothrust will target IAS upto crossover Alt (normally 28-34k) I would like to know if anyone has further info before bug reporting this. As an aside to RL Military pilots here what do you use tactically? Do you crossover from one to the other? References The automatic throttle control is a two mode system that automatically maintains angle of attack (approach mode) or airspeed (cruise mode) by modulating engine thrust in the range of flight idle through military. From functional check flight at 15,000’B) ATC cruise mode - CHECK Engage ATC cruise mode between 300 and 350 knots. • Ensure system maintains engaged airspeed in level flight and banked turns.

References From functional check flight at 15,000’ I've noticed it change with altitudes down low and was wondering if it was trying to hold TAS. 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT
ED Team cofcorpse Posted February 24, 2019 ED Team Posted February 24, 2019 ATC tries to maintain TAS constant in flight.
Eagle7907 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Any word about if this will get fixed for the landing function? I think it’s called powered assist mode?

ED Team cofcorpse Posted February 24, 2019 ED Team Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Approach compenstaion (APC) mode will be fixed and adjusted in future updates. Edited February 24, 2019 by cofcorpse
Eagle7907 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 It cannot be fixed because it's not even developed right now. The will code it eventually. Haha. That makes sense. I didn’t realize it wasn’t coded yet. Much appreciated.
