Autopilot and autohover


elkabungo

Recommended Posts

I encountered a problem in multiplayer - yesterday played in enigma cold war and it seems that the autopilot and the autohover is not working. I brought the control indicator up, but it doesn't show anything like altitude , speed or autohover. In single play it works. What do I do wrong?

Perhaps the Pilot cyclic auto-pilot "master" wasn't on (it's modelled as a toggle in DCS).

• Assuming a "normal" cold start with Fuel Control Lever at MAX, gyros ON, SAS Panel Master ON, Pitch/Bank/Yaw SAS channels ON, Mag brake ON, etc.

Check the pitch/bank/yaw control monitor "needles" show the SAS is working (needles moving/centered)

How do you know it is not 100 percent ? I use a lever in my vkb and it seem all the way in.

The only way is to set small deadzones at the extremities of the fuel lever's axis travel.

This is an example of how to setup an axis for the fuel lever with deadzones

In multiplayer, the Gazelle is automatically multicrew by default, as it has a second slot available.

Unlike other modules, the presence of the multicrew slot does not preclude single player operation i.e. this is a multi-crew capable 4YA "slot" when flown solo.

As can be seen, the Gazelle autopilot hover allows hands free operation when flown solo.

Note that MP behaviour using DCS Stable may be different as IIRC, changes/improvements to multicrew in a previous patch had some unintended consequences.
