[Known issue] "Autopilot toggle" hotkey does not set "off" if an AFCS switch was disabled


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Bug: If at least one of the AFCS switches (pitch/roll/yaw) isnt engaged, while "autopilot on" is enabled, then the "autopilot toggle" hotkey will not set it to off anymore. Reenabling the AFCS switch does not fix  this issue. The button can always toggle the autopilot to on, only its ability to disable it is affected. The switch still works if moved by another measure, eg with mouse click

Here a guess, the autopilot shouldnt work if an AFCS switch is disabled, even if the engage switch is set to on. Maybe the autopilot being nonfunctional in that way, is connected to the toggle hotkey not working?

Can I reproduce it 100%: Yes

How to reproduce/ description:  1. Create an empty mission in the editor; place an F14 set to player and start the mission.

2. Disable at least one of the AFCS switches, while "autopilot engage" is enabled. Altenatively, enable the autopilot while one of the AFCS switches is disabled.

3. Now the "autopilot toggle" button will not set the switch to off anymore, and it has to be done another way (eg via mouse click).

DCS Version: Multithread preview, 2.8.4.39731

edit: Found the same behaviour in Singlethreaded.

Thx, probably on a list then. Bit annoying when you wanna quickly reset the autopilot, but I guess there bigger priorities.
