Sprool Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkman222 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited March 30, 2022 by darkman222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chain_1 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will test and revert - thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
