[bugs] FC3: Autopilot + Trimmer control issues

[betatrash]

Trim Rudder:

 

F-15C: Trim Rudder Left/Right trims Ailerons instead. No characteristic yaw effect, as opposed to all other aircraft. Rate of trim is also sluggish vs other aircraft.

 

Trim Reset:

 

A-10A: Does not reset Rudders.

F-15C: Lacks Trim Reset. Does not reset Rudders, since Trim Rudder Left/Right don't work. T/O (take/off?) Trim trims nose up, no difference, also bugged.

Su-25: Lacks Trim Reset.

Su-25T: Lacks Trim Reset, but Autopilot can be used as a pseudo-Reset.

Su-27/33, MiG-29A/S/C/G, J-11A: Trim Reset works and also resets Rudders.

 

Autopilot:

 

F-15C: Autopilot doesn't work.

MiG-29A/S/C/G: Barometric Altitude Hold doesn't work, but the 'H' version does. Both function in other aircraft.

Su-25: Lacks Autopilot.

A-10A, Su-27/33, J-11A: All tested Autopilot features work as expected.

 

Autopilot Trimmers:

 

Su-25T: Autopilot sets trimmers, but lacks Trim Reset.

MiG-29A/S/C/G: Autopilot sets trimmers, but they can be reset.

 

Autopilot Reset:

 

MiG-29A/S/C/G: Lacks Autopilot Reset. Autopilot Reset (Stick Button) must be held down for 50ms (via script), but standard (non-Stick Button) version doesn't have this limitation, otherwise functions identically.

 

Summary:

 

Su-27/33 and J-11A, based on the same design, function as expected.

F-15C is completely broken.

A-10A, Su-25/25T and MiG-29A/S/C/G are in various states of disrepair.

 

Resolution:

A-10A: Trim Reset should reset Rudders.

Su-25/25T: Add a Trim Reset hotkey.

F-15C: Fix/Add Autopilot, Rudder Trim and Trim Reset functions.

MiG-29A/S/C/G: Add an Autopilot Reset hotkey and fix Barometric Altitude Hold.

Su-27/33 and J-11A: In working condition.

 

Notes:

 

Barometric Altitude Hold 'H' maintains Heading when banked less than 6/7 degrees, otherwise maintains Roll. No different from non-H and Roll Hold versions in Su-27/33.

 

Tested: Autopilot Engage/Disengage and Disengage, Autopilot Reset and (Stick Button) version, Barometric Altitude Hold and 'H' + Roll Hold versions.

 

I can test other options and radars/weapons if needed, but at least let me know you'll fix these first, before I buy F/A-18C. Thanks.:helpsmilie:

If possible: Probably not worth the effort, but if it's simple enough,

 

Combine Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft and Su-25T Gear Light Far/Off and Navigation Lights On/Off into a single keybind. The state of one when other is toggled doesn't matter from a functional perspective, but eliminates the need to keep track of external lighting state by the pilot and by scripts.

 

Convert HUD Brightness Up and HUD Brightness Down into a single toggle switch that cycles between High and Low Brightness. Or add another keybind, similar to Flaps Up/Down.

Do you have a FFB wheel plugged in?
