Hi,

 

I agree with @shadowborn on the nose wheel steering issue.  It would be nice if the  nosewheel could be steered using the rudder pedals.

Also ran into an issue when disconnecting the autopilot the "Autopilot" disconnect warning cannot be silenced.  Maybe I am missing something here, but to me it is really annoying to hear this warning over and over.

Tried auto start and it did not work for me either.

I looked, but I could not find a knob to move the HDG (heading) bug. The AP seems to have a HDG function button but I could not slew the HDG bug.

Is there an joystick assignment for the landing lights or the taxi lights?

Thanks to the devs in advance for looking at the above!

 

Not a dev, so can't answer all the questions, but a couple of thoughts:

For rudders for the tiller - You could try to use a modifier for the tiller. This should allow you to use your rudder pedals to steer the tiller (when you press the modifier button), and then use standard rudder (no tiller) when you release the modifier. 

Autopilot disconnect - look for a keybind for "Silence", "Hush", or "Cancel".

The training missions cover everything but the no autostart..

However as I hate the RTFM answer:

 

Double press the autopilot disconnect it'll kill the warning.

As mentioned the knob for the heading and course bugs are on the center console a bit below the flight computer.

You can assign a button to the landing and taxi lights in the control editor if you want them on your stick.

Hi,

Thank you guys for your answers!  Found the HDG knob on the pedestal.  And I re-mapped my AP disconnect .

How about fps performance? Is it better than chinook module?

Was big time looking forward to this plane and had high expectations. Keep your FF F-15C and your Typhoon, the C-130 was #1 on my list.

 

Just had my first flight out of Groom Lake and I like it! 

 

My only disappointment is not being able to write my name on the coffee cup. Other than that, I can tell this thing is going to be fun.

There are two binds in the controls menu. AP on/off and AP disconnect. Or you double press disconnect.
