Autopilot disengage issue or missing feature yet?

[lwalter]

The following actions don't disengage the autopilot for me, although they're supposed to:

- paddle switch (yes, I checked the binding was fine)

- alt flaps extended

I was wondering if others have the same issue, and then is it really an issue or just missing feature for now?

Paddle switch only temporarily disables the A/P.

Paddleswitch disengages temporarily and afaik updates desired altitude to be held after release.

If you get close to stall spreed or pull high Gs the autopilot will also disengage automatically.

Why someone would use alt flaps in normal operation, I dont know. But maybe it should disengage if you used them.

Thanks to all of you for answering my questions!

There should be a caution though when the AP disengages ( i.e. can´t hold altitude or attitude). Currently this does not occur.

If A/P disconnect, FLCS Fault caution light and the FLCS A/P FAIL (on Pilot Fault List) message will activate. But in DCS we don't get any warnings.

Is PFL WIP?
