Altitude HOLDs errors with 28/7 patch


AvroLanc

Recommended Posts

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.

Marker / box is missing but radar Alt hold is working. 

I have asked the team to check Baro hold

It is known and reported

I can confirm AL mode/Right not working. 

I press this button but it doesn't appear its engagement in the enhanced upfront display

RAD AL HOLD in hover works for me. it‘s engaging and I get a message in EUFD. Just the symbol in IADSS is missing.

BAR AL HOLD does not work.

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.

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.

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.
