Maksim Savelev Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Hello, might be someone familiar with the topic can clarify one thing for me. I just went trough the SCAS and FTR functions in the real AH-64 manual and found that the HDG hold sub mode is available in several scenarios but all the time with attitude mode switched on ( I mean the button is activated, of course it will act differently depends on state of flight it's been activated), I've found no mentioning that SCAS will provide you with anything more than just " rate damping in all axes" with no Attitude Hold activation. But in fact in DCS HDG hold active all the time when you have less than 40knots GS and SCAS has enough authority after resetting the Force trim. Might be a bug or wrong implementation, or I'm missing something) Edited January 6 by Maksim Savelev

Heading Hold is enabled in the AH-64D when below 40 knots ground speed, regardless of whether Attitude Hold is enabled, subject to specific engagement/disengagement criteria. Please refer to the DCS Early Access Guide in the FMC section for more specific explanation of the criteria. 2 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

Maksim Savelev Posted January 6 Author Posted January 6 (edited) Understood, thank you. Found this info right now in ED Apache manual. I actually impressed! It's a first time I can see that the game manual gives more detailed and clarified info, than the real pilot's one. Since it combines both technical and pilot knowledge data, may I kindly ask you to share details about the force gradient in all axis or just total maximum spring load for each axis of flight controls, if by any chance your team knows it. It's really needed for the proper FFB profile tuning for more realistic experience. Thank you! Edited January 6 by Maksim Savelev
Maksim Savelev Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 Oh and other thing I came across in your manual: "CAS is disabled in the FMC Yaw channel when the aircraft is on the ground (determined by the weight-on-wheels or “squat” switch). This prevents over-steering during ground taxi." But it's not the case in simulation, while on the ground I can see on the control diagram, that CAS is trying to augment my yaw command, and green vertical bar (actual actuator position) is trying to jump far ahead of the white diamond (actual pedal position)
TZeer Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Do you have the latest version of DCS installed? I know it had that behaviour before. But should be greatly improved (fixed?) in the latest version.
