cannot reproduce George as Pilot cannot maintain desired altitude

[stoop]

When I am in the CPG seat and use 5 short up clicks to get the Pilot to come up to 50 feet, he does that ... then he sinks to the ground, then he goes up again, then comes down, up, down, up down ...

I shot a video of it.  Can anyone tell me if there is something I need to do in the Pilot seat itself before switching to CPG seat to make this work?

George needs more coffee in the morning...

I had him on course at 70kts and 400 feet.  Send the commands in quick succession to stop and rotate 180.  I thought I was going to be walking back to base as he dropped, fairly quickly to under 50 feet before recovering.

He needs to go back to flight school, he is very inconstant with height once its set, even at 500 I have had him come down to 100 or lower on a turn.

Hi George will be tweaked as early access continues, but please if you want to report something include a short as possible track replay so we can test it. 

thanks

Here you go.  6 or 7 bounces in the Track file

I noticed this issue on the Scud Buster mission. Lowing fuel weight helps. 

[stoop]

I only have 40% fuel in the Apache, and no weapons other than the gun.

Thanks for the track, we will check it out.

From what I can see, there is something odd going on, I wonder, do you have the option selected in game to sync your controls with your HOTAS on mission start (under MISC in settings)? If you do, unselect and try again.

When I save the track as a mission, then reopen it, all works fine. Start there and see if we can figure it out.

[stoop]

Yes it was selected, I unselected it and it works just fine now !!!!!

Oh one more thing, I did have to make sure my throttle was up in the front seat, looks like the guy in the back doesn't override that, I did have to move the lever I use all the way up for that.

[NineLine]

Yup, Hot starts cant be tricky if you have controls out of sync, soon as you move them, the sync up. So you have to be mindful of that for sure.

I also saw this(similar) issue couple of times when trying to hover after I switch seat to CP-G. I order pilot to reduce speed and go up but he just slowly starts losing altitude(no matter what I set), so I have to swap back to pilots seat not to crash. Note that George confirms the command and the numbers update on that "menu" that is displayed. Sync your controls with your HOTAS on mission start option is unchecked. I will save the track and add it if I see it again

[NineLine]

Yes, please do, if you get a track would love to look at it.
