Kongamato Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) I know that the C-101 doesn't have autopilot in real life, but it would be good a simple autopilot, "Flaming cliff" style: just a key, let's say "A", for maintaining altitud and course and some kind of light or indication in the cockpit or in the screen when engaged. When disengaged, the plane could return to the previous trim settings. I think it would not be very difficult to make. I know it would be like a "cheat", but most of us are not real pilots with all the manuals, checklist and all the knobs of the cockpit in the memory. Most of us during our virtual flights sometimes have to take a break for consulting the manual, looking for some knob or switch in the cockpit, or just go to the fridge to grab a drink or to the WC... :music_whistling: Or just taking a break of the joy in a cross country navigation flight. :thumbup: Having the possibility of being hands off the joystick for a second without having to pause the flight would be great. Probably there are people that would say "the real plane doesn't have AP, so I don't want one". Well, kudos for your love for realism. :pilotfly: But having an AP doesn't mean you are obligued to use it. You don't even have to map it in the keyboard or the HOTAS. And, after all, an AP is most realistic than the "Pause" key. A lot of planes in real life have AP, but not a single one (as far as I know) has a device for pausing the time... :D Edited March 12, 2019 by Kongamato
kontiuka Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 An auto-pilot cheat like in the Huey would be fine. But again, should be low on the priority list. 1
