LazyBoot Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 7 hours ago, Nealius said: BARO alt hold works fine for me, but only once per mission. If I deselect BARO the UFC claims AP is still on. If I use paddle switch to turn AP off, I am then unable to get BARO to work again for the duration of the mission. It will * in the UFC, but won't actually work. Are you pressing the AP button on the UFC to turn the AP back on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP menu is already up, so no (Hornet habit). Perhaps that's what I'm missing. I thought AP button was a menu access button, with BARO/RDR/HDG and such being the "on" button.

Sarge55 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Also don’t forget there is no auto throttle control, you need to monitor your speed. I found that if I got slow there would be some bobbing trying to hold the AP setting. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7 10700K OC 5.1GHZ / 500GB SSD & 1TB M:2 & 4TB HDD / MSI Gaming MB / GTX 1080 / 32GB RAM / Win 10 / TrackIR 4 Pro / CH Pedals / TM Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chipwich Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Maybe the placebo effect, but it seems that I'm trimming less with Alt Hold and A/P engaged. Perhaps I'm just more comfortable in the a/c.

Erazor Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I my experience Alt-Hold does not work if you are still in Takeoff Trim. Only after I trim the nose down a couple notches, it activates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosun Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'm echoing many here, in that it only works intermittently for me, and there's no set of conditions that I can reliably point to, mission to mission, that give me any predictability as to whether it will. If I'm flying at 24,000, and I want to set the AP for that alt, and I'm trimmed and flying it already, when I hit AP on and have alt selected, I expect the aircraft to darn well stay there. But it doesn't. It'll either slowly sink, slowly loft, or bobble. But rarely does it actually stabilize on the altitude that I've commanded it too. This makes formation flying ridiculous. I can't imagine that the actual AP of the real plane was this finicky, was it? Who would have ever used it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q3ark Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I have just done a two hour sight seeing flight on the Sinai map in the 15, used the auto pilot extensively and encountered no problems. I don’t know what could be effecting you guys but it would be worth doing a short flight to demonstrate the issues and posting a track replay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get Altitude Hold or Altitude Select to maintain altitude. You can watch the video, but for basic alt hold it's a 2 button press. Here's what I do. Press A on keyboard or UFC AP button. This will give pitch hold and heading if you are below 7 deg bank. Then press UFC Alt hold. This will level to maintain current alt. If over 7 deg, this will give Attitude hold. I will post a track if you still have trouble. Press button A at start, then alt hold, the NAV then, steering. All subsequent alterations are button "A".F15 CBU 97 SA 10 3l.trk ..
