Swift. Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I (along with many others I'm sure) have always had difficulty with engaging the autopilot in the DCS hornet. Because the way it has been modelled to where the stick needs to be perfectly centred for it to engage, it means those with smooth centred sticks will have a hard time getting the stick to that perfect centre. The options to solve this so far are to increase the deadzone for the whole stick, which will ruin the experience in all other aspects. Or to just not use the AP. The suggestion I'm making therefore, is that we have a special option for hornet where we can have either: - Toggle 'Realistic AP engagement' ON or OFF, where ON is perfect centre required and OFF is AP engagement not limited by stick position. - A engagement deadzone slider, where we can adjust how big the deadzone should be so we can account for the imperfection in our sim hardware. As a side note, I'm not 100% convinced the AP engagement requiring perfectly centred stick position is necessarily correct. However if it is then the above suggestion would allow the option for those that need it. 1 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye91 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 +1 I just got the Wingwing Super Libra, and I either have to add a deadzone of at least 2 to the pitch axis or not use to AP at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ourorborus Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Like the idea of an "AP engagement Dead zone" as a different setting to axis dead zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
