Ala12Rv-Birdman Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone. I cannot engage the autopilot for heading to a steerpoint or TACAN station. I follow the manual procedures, but no response... is not still working or may I being skipping any step?

sLYFa Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 The F-14s AP cannot fly towards waypoints or tacan stations. Only heading hold and ground track are available for LNAV i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
Ala12Rv-Birdman Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 Then I should have misunderstood the operation. What's the difference between Heading and Ground Track hold?

RustBelt Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Heading hold keeps you on a fixed compass heading. With wind this means The line you travel along the ground won’t be the same as your heading. (Think about a boat crossing a river) Ground track hold keeps the plane flying in a straight line relative to the ground meaning as wind changes your heading changes, but not the line you’re making along the ground. If you are in a mission with no wind set up you won’t notice a diffrence.

Giat Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 HI everyones, i can't engage the GT or heading Autopilot. The manual says that the A/Ref lights should shows and disapears as soon as i'm engaging the NWS button BUT, it doesnt show itself at all ! Any idea ?

Norpa Posted September 30, 2019 Posted September 30, 2019 Maybe it's not implemented yet. I can't get it to work either.
draconus Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 So, the OP problem is not a bug, but the main theme "GT Autopilot" probably is. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria

I believe the Tomcat A/P will not engage beyond a certain airspeed (however the actual value escapes me) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com
