Autopilot emergency disconnect paddle disables Pitch SAS


Recommended Posts

As per thread title, since latest update using the autopilot emergency disconnect paddle also disables Pitch SAS. I never noticed that before and I guess whether it is now intended.

 

Besides, when I configure autopilot switches I cannot see any more the light on the right brow of the front monitor telling me that I must enable autopilot by depressing the autopilot reference button.

I'm not a pilot, but a backseater, but I'm pretty sure it behaved like that since release.

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

All SAS must be on, select mode and hit ENGAGE AP first.

It's intended. According to NATOPS it's a feature of the (IIRC) digital flight control system. I asked about it a while back because I was confused by the analog vs. digital systems and which one we had in our Tomcat.
