DrCapt Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Can anyone tell me if there is an autopilot engaged indication, i.e., light, lever or anything, that tells me that the autopilot is on? If so, where is it? I have looked all over the cockpit of the F15C and can't find any indication that the autopilot is on/off. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
ThirdELTPoznan Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Look on HUD (left bottom corner) there everything is displayed. GROM- Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Manewrowego
DrCapt Posted January 30, 2005 Author Posted January 30, 2005 No, it's not there. Any other ideas of where it coild be or idoes it even exist?
169th_Cobra Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 i dont think there are any indications on the F15. the A10 shows it in the lower left of the HUD and the russian aircraft have lights to indicate it.
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 F-15 nothing as far as I am aware. A-10 Autopilot - HUD lower left, also rectangular green indicator below FIRE <R ENG> PULL Alt hold - HUD lower left MiG-29 Left of landing gear / flaps status is a panel of 6 square buttons each has a small green light. Autopilot - Lower left button marked AN Alt Hold - Upper right button marked (approx) CTAB BbIC Su-25 If a/c is neutrally trimmed when autopilot engaged, then trim lights go out (bottom row rightmost 3 green indicators) Other than that no indications as far as I am aware. Su-27/33 Above Radar Warning Receiver are 3 columns of rectangular indicators, a left column of 6, then middle of 5 and then right of 2. Autopilot - bottom of left column lights up green AN and bottom of middle column lights green with ABTO. Alt hold - 2nd from bottom left column lights green with (approx) NPNBEA KrOPN3 Speed hold - bottom of middle column lights green with ABTO. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose!

Guest ruggbutt Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 The F15 (in game) doesn't have indicators for speedbrake, autopilot, altitude hold or speed hold.
DrCapt Posted January 31, 2005 Author Posted January 31, 2005 Autopolit Indication Thanks all! Tha t is good info.
GGTharos Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 The F15 (in game) doesn't have indicators for speedbrake, autopilot, altitude hold or speed hold. There is an indicator for speedbrake. Look at the very top little corner of the 'damage' panel on the right side of the cockpit (where you get the 'afterburner' 'fuel low' 'most of your plane doesn't work' red lights) and open and close the brake.

diveplane Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 yea f15 has a airbrake indicator, mind you its in a real stupid place https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
169th_Jaws Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 yea f15 has a airbrake indicator, mind you its in a real stupid place Well that's where it is in the real F-15 so I've got no probs. Although why they have no auto-flight control lights in the Eagle is beyond me! Just when you thought it was safe to go back over the water... Flight Lieutenant "Jaws" 169th Panthers
Tracker Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Unfortunately, no indicators. But, there are some things you can quickly do on the fly to determine if AP is set. 1. Switch to NAV Mode 2. Change Waypoint using the ~ key. As you cycle through the WP's your plane will change course to intercept the new course if AP is active. Toggle the A key to toggle AP on or off as desired. If deactivating, use CTRL-T to reset trim. When all else fails, Eject then read the manual. Oh, and a good wingman helps.
