Incorrectly implemented AFC and Altitude Hold system

I note that the AFC and Altitude Hold system appears to be incorrectly implemented in this module.

 

The real AV-8B flight manual states the pilot can adjust the AFC (autopilot) in two ways:-

1. With stick movements up to 1 pound of force; and

2. By 'clicking' the manual trim i.e. using the trim hat.

 

Currently in DCS you can only adjust the autopilot with the trim hat. When making small stick movements in AFC mode, nothing happens. If you make too big a stick movement the AFC disengages.

 

The AFC rules of the DCS Harrier appears to be similar to the autopilot rules of the DCS M2000C. This is an issue because the Harrier does not have an equivalent to the Mirage's Autopilot Standby through which you make autopilot adjustments with the stick.

 

In conclusion, in order properly implement the AFC system in the Harrier, the ability to make adjustments with small movements of the stick up to 1 pound of force needs to be added.
