Is the autopilot functional in early access? I was trying to get it to work.

 

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 🙂

I was just trying to find the altitude hold to make it easier to play with stuff.

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.

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.

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.

Is it possible to set up a combo so you only push one button in the DCS options?  AP Trigger + AP button

Maybe they can add a key bind for that so we don't have to map 2 keys just to turn on AP.
