Martin1454 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 So after I changed to a Winwing F-16EX setup, I've had some issues with the Autopilot of the F-16 and want to confirm the correct usage. Normally I would just level out, set my "HDG" and then engage "Pitch ALT hold" mode and then "ROLL HDG SEL", and then the plane would be on autopilot. But now when I do that, nothing happens... I can see the switches flip in the cockpit to the correct position, but the plane does not respond to it. Is there anything else I should do to engage the autopilot? I would post a track, but even a 30sec track is larger than 5mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 1, 2022 ED Team Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hi, can you include a track replay showing the issue, it seems fine for us. Are you maybe confusing setting course and heading on the HSI? Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

See the track - both switches will be enaged, but it does not affect the plane at all. Test2.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Frederf Posted June 1, 2022 Solution Share Posted June 1, 2022 Your AP paddle is stuck on. I take over at :56 and depress/release the AP paddle and it resumes normal operation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that my Winwing Joystick sets button 7 when I press the paddle switch and holds button 8 when I releases it - And paddle switch was set to button 8 -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
