Raffi75 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) I have a small problem with the autopilot altitude mode. When I'm offline it works fine, when I fly online I can't turn it on. Does anyone have/had a similar situation and what could be the cause? Edited May 8 by Raffi75

The collective brake will disable the altitude hold. It has been a bug occasionally that the collective brake seems to accidentally be on sometimes and prevent use of the altitude hold. 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

I don't have it assigned to HOTAS anywhere either. It would be strange if it started by itself in multiplayer. I'll check it today.

When I tried to turn on AP altitude I had a problem with it again. All I had to do was press "F" and everything worked fine. Thanks for the tip.

Are you turning on your route channel within the Doppler limits of +/-7 degrees pitch or 30 degrees roll? 50-300 kmh? Usually you can’t use it above 260-289 kmh becuase you need such a negative pitch angle it disables the Doppler Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Recently I noticed that I can't turn on the ROUTE when I'm flying with a course between 70 -110. Between these values DISS turns off and the low speed indicator shows strange values despite the fact that it shouldn't because usually my speed is around 200 km/h Edited May 10 by Copperfield86
