Zaneboy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Since one or two patches ago (excluding recent hotfix) anytime when I have the AP enabled and give any sort of stick input, the nose aims downwards in the beginning. Doesn't matter whether I roll left/right or even pull the stick back. The moment it detects input the nose goes downwards before the input is strong enough to go where you want it to. I have no conflicting bindings and when checking the ingame axis (rctrl + enter) it doesn't show wrong input. Is this intended behaviour? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz000 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I think AP is WIP still and not acting properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggus Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Yeah, I'm seeing a pitch down on any failed attempt to engage alt hold AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtorris Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Disengage Autopilot Retrim Re-enable Autopilot, AP Vector, AP Altitude Hold, AP Heading Hold, but do not press the AP reference / NWS toggle button. Or just disable AP, and fly by trim. As Baz has said, it's WiP at the moment. We'll just have to make due, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Noticed as well, particularly uncomfortable with FFB, I basically can only use simple AP on attitude hold. Worked fine for quite a while until just recently though. Edited November 7, 2021 by Eldur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumidekCZ Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Same here, ... very annoying but. I hope, HB will fix this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 We are reworking the AP completely, and will hopefully be done by the next patch. We're doing this to future proof it, so that FM changes, as tiny as they may be, will not throw it out of whack again, and to make it not only perform, but also internally work like the AP did in real life.

winghunter Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Since there is no visual indication if autopilot is engaged, I'd like Jester to say "Autopilot engaged" or "Time to relax" or something like that.

Lt_Jaeger Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 You got switches and a lamp showing you the status of the autopilot, so I guess there are a bunch of indications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless its a bug and supposed to work differently That's 100% a pilot thing. The RIO has no "AP is on" indication. Whenever you flick the AP engage switch you are in ATT hold 100% of the time. Flying is purely pilot responsibility (minus checklists on take off/ landing, etc), so it is expected from you to basically look down and check the switch, if you forgot whether you have it turned on or not. If set to engage, the AP is on and in attitude hold.

I thought i needed to engage NWS to activate it, cause it can set you on a dive even if the physical switch on AP panel is engaged Edited February 10, 2022 by winghunter DCS Web Editor - New 3D Mission Editor for DCS that runs in your browser DCS Web Viewer free browser based mission planner / viewer 4090 RTX, 13700KF, water cooled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATT hold should still grab fairly decently, though you may have to aid it at times. 1 Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvester.E Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) For my understanding; does this mean (wip) the acls isn’t working at this moment? In the process of learning this fantastic module and just want to know if it's me or the wip that holds me off from any acls landings.

In the process of learning this fantastic module and just want to know if it's me or the wip that holds me off from any acls landings. ACLS still works but I found the pitch quite wobbly to the extent I would retake control if I wasn't testing it in a flight sim (in the past before AP issues it was fairly rock solid in normal, not adverse weather). Unsure if this was the engine response time or AP, so was just going to wait until the new patch.

sLYFa Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Same here, initial pull on the stick in CSS mode induces a slow pitch down so you have to keep pulling until the aircraft starts pitching up as it should. i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
