skywalker22 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) HSEL - Heading Select option sometimes works sometimes doesn`t (its like 50-50). Didn`t figure out the pattern when it does work. But there is definitely something wrong with it. PS: I also noticed occasionally BALT (Barometric Altitude Hold) doesn`t wanna work as well (pressing on a button and those 2 dots for engaging do not show, and consecuently the BALT autopilot also doesn`t work. And I have no issues with my joystick. AS far as I tested, BALT autopilot will work when inside +4° and -4° of elevation on the hud. Is that correct? Edited March 16, 2022 by skywalker22
Foka Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 No idea about HSEL, never exprienced that problem. But with BALT to work you need to have joystick in neutral position. If BALT doesn't work jently move joystick few milimeters. BALT should turn on.
AG-51_Razor Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 I had a guy in my squad report this same thing while online last night. I use Voice Attack to engage Heading Select or BARALT and it rarely fails to work unless, as Foka stated above, my joiystick is not centered. The guy reported that he was "manually" pressing the button with his mouse. I wonder if it has anything to do with the amount of time the mouse button is held down on the button?? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
XCNuse Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Haven't seen HSEL being an issue on my end but to answer the BALT, since I've struggled with it a lot recently when it greatly seemed like it sometimes worked and didn't. As Foka said, your stick has to be at 50%/50%, dead center. If it isn't, BALT will not engage. Two ways to fix this; increase center deadzone (which, I don't recommend), or, figure out why your stick isn't centering. So say your stick is 1% forward from center, BALT will not engage; I don't want a big deadzone (1% is as high as I'm willing to go with my new Virpilwarbrd), and why some of us run into this issue against people with something like an X52 who have like a 5%+ deadzone who don't struggle with this issue and are confused. For now, I've just found a better way to center my stick, and/or press BALT a lot until I get it.
