DaveSD Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hey gang, Is there a way to manually set an autopilot altitude, similar to how one can set the HSEL bearing? Dave Slo-Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Kazansky Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The Mirage 2000C allows you to select an altitude which is held when reached but it is not like OP requests neither. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think my question was unreasonable, but I do think your answer was. Best regards I remember that 18E in mfs2020 seems to have relevant settings of cruise altitude in the UFC panel. But at that time, I was trying to teach a friend who had never flown a plane with the knowledge of 18C. So I didn't go deep into it. Anyway, the 18C in DCS didn't have such ability 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfr Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Yes I remember that too but the 'Acceleration Pack' F-18 was far from a study simulation of the aircraft (the features you allude to were very much standard MSFS autopilot fare) and its not a feature i've ever seen in any serious reproduction of an F-18 (DCS or the VRS F-18E in MSFS). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 It's a thing on the Mirage, but it has a very advanced autopilot system complete with a runway approach mode. All in all, the autopilot on US jets tends to be a little bare-bones, basically just a heading and altitude hold. Navy jets have ACLS and autothrottle, but that's pretty much only so that they can automatically land on a carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
