Autopilot ATT and ALT hold not working?

[Sprool]

Sincel the recent update on openbeta my Viper ALT and ATT hold no longer hold either attitude or altitude. STRG and HDG switches work ok, just the Pitch ones seem to have lost function.

The update did not change anything for me.

If ALT and ATT dont work, STRG and HDG cant work either. The first ones need to be engaged for the latter ones to work. If just ATT (Pitch) seems not to work correctly, try to press the paddle switch on the HOTAS, bring the flight path marker to the desired pitch (maybe 5 degrees) and let go of the paddle switch. If that does not work, try to set a deadzone to eliminate unwanted control input from the stick. Although I never had it interfere in the F16 it is an issue in the F18. So why not try it in the F16 too.

Make sure your Air Refueling switch is in the closed position.  If it's open, ALT HOLD and ATT won't work.  This has gotten me before when I had a switch in the wrong position.

just had a thought - maybe axis assignment conflicts - recently upgraded to new joystick and not yet wiped the old assignments off the controls. Will test and revert - thanks!

Yep - control axes conflicts, now sorted
