Autohover

[dresoccer4]

are there any video tutorials on how to auto hover? not sure how to actually enable/disable it and what allowances there are

 

thanks

 

P.S. also i STILL can't get the rudder to stay trimmed

 420...nice

 

yeah i've read chuck's guide front to back and its awesome. but still can't get auto hover to work, its one of those things you have to be shown instead of read theory about

Since you said can’t keep rudder trimmed it is said to not have yaw channel on for hover when doing hover mode.  Can’t fly till tomorrow, I know route mode works haven’t tried hover though sorry.

oh the rudder trim is a separate issue i believe (but not sure). i dont use yaw channel normally but it does work. but the rudder won't trim when i press the trimmer button no matter what. the cyclic trims fine. the Mi-8 should work the same but it's rudder trim works for me

You have rudder trimmer option selected in the special options menu?  Dumb question but maybe check it

Ha maybe the avionics needs to be set native not English,  works for coldstart bomb dropping I guess

Hey Auto hover working like a charm here.  I disregarded what chucks manual said and had all auto pilot channels enabled.  Pulled trimmer in hold get to a relative stable hover then released trimmer followed by turning on altimeter button and then hover button.  As per screen shot can see all the green lights on.  Hind hovered perfectly in a pretty good head wind aswell.  Tested in cauc freeflight instant action mission

Enduro14 has it based on what I've found - all AP channels on, get to basically a full hover and then activate it.  

 

You have to be at a hover already - this just assists in holding that.
