Simple AI pilot to hold level flight when using Nav station

[Hawkeye_UK]

As title says a simple AI pilot to hold level flight would be most useful when swapping to the nav seat to work the radio direction finding.

 

At night and with the current state of the trim controls not being able to trim for reliable level flight its a recipe for disaster at present.

 

I do think however a simple "Iceman" style feature of hold course, come left 10, 30 degrees etc would be a huge asset for this module.  It really does need it otherwise we are not going to get the enjoyment of the nav station seat.

Good idea!

Is there AI like Petrovich?

This is planned for later on in Early Access

Definitely +1.  Having AI "Archie" though isn't the same as having an extremely simple pilot AI that maintains heading/speed while you play with the radios.

I've been around a lot of Pilots. They are all extremely simple!

Please can you pass this request onto the russian side of the forums / team so that the guys actually making the product can read.

 

Otherwise its just an empty request (and pointless).

 

Thanks.

This made me laugh out loud

 

A level hold would be great, I'd even go as to suggest a level hold where the 'ai' drifts a few degree's up, down, left, and right but always comes back to course, just like the real pilot..

 

Then when in a long flight, I could drink soup from a flask just like pilots did in WW2.

I tried to make one using DCS-BIOS to monitor the artificial horizon and then adjust the trims to counteract drift.
 

Let's just say I successfully found a way that doesn't work and move on.
