hannibal Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 about to jump back into the apache to show a buddy how to CPG.. wondering if auto hover function is any better with the new patch.. find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
NeedzWD40 Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 I've been using the attitude hold for quite a while and haven't noticed any major issues after this past winter.
Floyd1212 Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 The ATT Hold and ALT Hold have been working for me just fine as well. I think the problem is with players that have FFB or sloppy joysticks that tend to drift. Any little force on the stick can induce the aircraft to drift out of the position hold. Only someone with a setup that was suffering from this before can tell you if it has improved at all. On a side note, I recorded a short track before applying the patch, and then played it back after patching, and it does appear that more collective is needed to hold an OGE hover. (Not the most scientific testing method, but it's all we've got.) When I established an OGE hover pre-patch, on the replay I slowly settled to an IGE hover, indicating a little more collective was needed to keep my altitude.
Grennymaster Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 the Apache has no auto hover. you need to understand that you "just" got hold modes, you as pilot have to get the bird into a good hover. keep it under 5knts and engage the hold modes, the bird will always move a bit. Caused by the dynamic of rotor, wind etc. the heavyer the bird is, the less you should hover. for training an learning CP/G, start light, 4 ATGM an max half ammo. if workload gets better, start to fly slowly towards the target area. many people seem to think helos always hover when using there weapons. but thats not the case. movement is the key to survive 5
