Autopilot Adjustment Indication

[shake307]

Hi all, 

 

Is there any indication in the Hip as to whether or not the Autopilot Adjustment is Engaged/Disengaged?  RAlt+A is the key bind for it and I can check the box in the Special Tab.  The only way I can tell if it is on or off is by watching the knobs on the Autopilot Console.  If they are moving, then the Engineer is adjusting.  That seems a bit clunky to me, so I am just wondering if something else indicates it.

 

Thanks

If you've ticked the box in the special options it is on all the time. Why do you need to check?

Are you using a multi-monitor setup? If so the autopilot indicator might not be on your main display, and possibly in an area of the resolution where you don't have a screen to show it.

 

in the file
DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Mi-8MTV2\Cockpit\Scripts\ControlsIndicator\Controlsindicator_page.lua

line 276 
autopilot_base.init_pos       = {0,(1 - autopilot_height)}

 

You can play with numbers to move the box around.

mine is
autopilot_base.init_pos       = {-5.35,-(1 - 0.3*size)}  --{0,(1 - autopilot_height)}

can you share your monitor position and spec to us,I don't understand how to shift height and width
