bestwishes Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Hi, altitude hold not working, could anyone give me a hint, many thanks..may it be a bug ? Flying 150km/h, level (all criteria met by far) and if I switch on alt hold switch, the switch moves back and nothing happens....

Rogue Trooper Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) I have nothing to offer here, I fly her so low and so fast that some sort of dependence on an automated altitude hold will get me killed for sure!

Mango Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 I haven't been able to get it working either, so I just ignore it.
FragBum Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Well it does work I just tested it in the minigun version. The thing is in Alt mode it will attempt to maintain altitude however you as the pilot still need to control yaw and roll, you can adjust altitude by cyclic and if you level off it should hold the new altitude. Turn on the controls indicator to get a feel for how it interacts with input. In that regard it is more of an assist and not a full blown hands off autopilot. :thumbup: Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above. Currently rolling with a Asus Z390 Prime, 9600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, 2080Ti and Windows 10Pro, Rift CV1. bu0836x and Scratch Built Pedals, Collective and Cyclic.
Mesha44 Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Alt and speed hold are a little tricky to get set. You need to be flying perfectly level to get alt hold on, and at a fairly stable speed. One thing that will help is to have the controls indicator on, R-cntl + enter. Alt or Speed will be displayed once you get it working.
FragBum Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Guys it's not that difficult and you don't need to be that fast or that high, just saying. For those that use a joystick you may need to carefully trim but meh who uses trim or a joystick? Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment.

Mesha44 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 The aircraft needs to be stable in both speed and altitude for either of the holds to work. Otherwise it is a little bit pick but works fine.
mkiii Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Works here once I get the usage parameters right. It is useful for longer flights where you might have to concentrate on other issues than maintaining altitude. I think the important thing to take into consideration is that even once it is ON, that it will drop out again if speed drops below the criteria for it to be set in the first place, which I believe is 120Km/h, and that using the collective in this mode lowers or raises speed.
JDski Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I use it with auto hover. When hitting it while in auto hover, it will deactivate your altitude hold only so you can pop up over a hill while still being in auto hover.
