AvroLanc Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 There seems to be errors with the ALTITUDE HOLD functions with the latest OB patch. 1. The box around the RADAR ALTITUDE digital readout (IHADSS and FLT page) now doesn't appear with ALT HOLD engaged. 2. BARO HOLD doesn't work at all. No engagement, no EUFD advisory, no box around altitude readout. 3. RAD ALT HOLD is now rubbish, doesn't really work well. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache 64 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I can confirm this. RAD altitude hold still works to some extent, but rather poorly. Box is missing but the sound when deactivating is played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Boys UK Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I find radar alt works fine on its own but sometimes in conjunction with att hold it reports SAS Saturated, which might be realistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwbishUP Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Lost altitude hold, both modes, also. 1 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. Micah 5:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TZeer Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Just tested. Could not get altitude HOLD to engage in any way. No sound, no message in EUFD and no box in my IHADSS. Tried engaging while in flight below 100 FT. Tried engaging while in hover. No joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UberMongo Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Same as the other comments above. Hopefully this gets sorted before the next big update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Same. Came here for a sanity check as it was my first time. ATT HOLD engaged, sub-100ft, no sound, no box, no message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Boys UK Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Have just tested in single player mode and all weights, including full fuel, Hellfires and rkts (over 8000 kg) at 20 degrees temp at Hama airbase and Radar Alt Hold worked every time. No attitude hold used. No trim applied. Stable enough to hover taxi into hangar. Edited August 3, 2022 by Ian Boys UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd1212 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yes, I have been able to lift off and hover at 10 ft and enable ALT hold. But as I'm flying around engaging targets, hovering at higher altitudes, does not engage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma6584 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just wanted to chime in here myself. I'm running Stable Version DCS 2.7.16.28157 released August 4th and have noticed same thing while attempting Altitude Hold. In the Track File, you'll see me go to a hover from the runway, about 10 feet, stabilize myself and hit Speed Hold. You see the box on left side of my IHADSS. I then come down to about 7 feet and hit the Altitude Hold. No symbology shows up on right side of the IHADSS. Yet, it seems to be holding my altitude. I go "Hands Free" from the HOTAS, and you can see it holding steady and at 7 feet above the ground. I then go to outside view, again I'm "Hands Free" and the Apache is holding steady and at Altitude Hold yet no symbology on the right side of my IHADSS. Please see Track File attached below. ah64althold.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
