Picure Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) This current patch, the apache is just not doing it for me. Firstly, I cant hover anymore by hitting ATT hold (worked fine before) and now george is aiming at nothing even though he says he's lasing. Edited January 11, 2023 by Picure
bradmick Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 You were in velocity hood the entire time and continually sliding backwards. You need to be up the hover symbology and not transition also, it will give you a better idea of your drift since the velocity vector represents 6 knots of ground speed vs 60. Place the acceleration cue in the center of the LOS and keep it there. Once the helicopter is stable, then engage the attitude hold. There is a logic problem in the hold modes currently where it automatically transitions from position to velocity hold and velocity to attitude hold. What should happen is you, the pilot have to interrupt the force trim to transition from each sub mode to the next. So really focus on getting the helicopter stable and trimmed before turning the hold mode on. 4

So really focus on getting the helicopter stable and trimmed before turning the hold mode on. Yea, I know, but from the previous patch, the margin between velocity hold and hover hold was more lax. I know this is because I use a G940 FFB stick which has a inherent loose center which cannot be fixed (and deadzones cannot be set with FFB sticks) and I was able to get into a stable hover regardless of HUD mode and go hands free. Now it’s almost impossible to go hands free because even the most minute movement of the stick during hover hold, the SAS will go into velocity hold. I’ll find time to make another video demonstrating this.
bradmick Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 I’m aware. I explained that it’s a logic error in the current implementation. Just because you’re going more 6 knots to ground speed doesn’t mean the system should automatically switch to velocity hold. It requires pilot input via the force trim to switch. So if you’re going 8 knots in position hold, it should not go to velocity until you interrupt the force trim.
