pchRage Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 I haven't come across an action that uses it.... What does it do in the F16? AA, AG, TGP, etc etc?

pchRage Posted August 13, 2020 Author Posted August 13, 2020 thanks @kengou! Is it just a temp disable, and press again re-enables autopilot? Does it actually force the autopilot left panel switches back to their default positions?
pchRage Posted August 13, 2020 Author Posted August 13, 2020 decided to test and answer my own q. so it appears to only be a temporary (as in you have to hold it) to disable autopilot. the second I release the paddle, then the auto kicks back in... seems...odd...

VampireNZ Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 ... seems...odd... Not particularly, enables you while in ALT HOLD to hold the paddle and fly to a different ref altitude and release to select that alt, and enables you to reposition the aircraft without fully cancelling AP mode, or having to override ATT modes with stick control forces etc. Vampire
kengou Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 In the other sim I found it most useful when using the terrain following radar and low level autopilot modes, to interrupt it when it did something wacky like pitch up wildly to avoid weather.

ncimike3 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I'm trying to config my paddle switch through DCS software. I programmed the paddle using the Pitch Alt Hold off command but it disengages the autopilot, physical moving the switch to A/P off. I'm sure this was the wrong approach. Can you tell me how you configured your paddle to do this? Thank you.

ncimike3 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 when you say bind it to the input, what program are you using to bind? I use the in game control page to program my hotas and it doesn't offer a "paddle switch - Depress". My only option using the DCS control page is a button press. See the attached screen shot. My paddle is button 4. EVGA X58 FTW3 | i7-960 3.2GHz | 6Gb DDR3 1600Mhz | GTX 680 4Gb | Win 7 64 |TM HOTAS Warthog | Combat Rudder Pedals | TrackIR 5 | TM MFD Cougar set | Logithech G35 Headset
