Not sure ... it appears on the Manual, so it must be functional .. it is a very primitive autopilot, its controls are all over the cockpit: top left of the instruments panel, flight stick, Navigation indicator, etc. I will first learn the aircraft basics and leave the AP for later For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

Try this: 2.35 Use of Autopilot • The Autopilot is engaged by pressing the AP pushbutton, while holding the AP Disconnect trigger depressed on the Flight Stick. • As soon as the amber AP pushbutton light comes on, connection can be made throughout the permissible flight envelope. 1. Climb • First, establish the climb attitude. • Connect the AP by releasing the trigger on the Flight Stick. • Adjust the attitude by using the pitch trim. 2. Cruise - Altitude Hold • Bring the aircraft into horizontal flight, using the trim. • Engage the Altitude function by depressing the ALT pushbutton, which illuminates. • The altitude is established after a delay of about 2 minutes. 7 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
FMBluecher Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Can confirm that Rudel_chw's post is correct. It feels weird to have to hold the AP Disconnect trigger while also pressing the AP pushbutton, but it does work as advertised. 5
SliderCDN Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 If you have 2 stage trigger, it's very intuitive.
Iron Sights Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Yeah, this took me a minute to figure out, but that procedure is correct. There is also an auto pilot disengage button, besides the disconnect button. Still working on figuring it out.
Sarge55 Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Is it possible to set up a combo so you only push one button in the DCS options?

Gronank Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 AP disconnect is generrally a button you want mapped anyway, easily accessible too
