Struggling a bit with training missions -

[Major SNAFU]

1) I am running with TIR5. On many of the training missions you start in the air with the AP on. I touch *nothing* and yet the A10 departs from level flight within 15-30 seconds of unpausing the training mission. Ithen spend time trying to re-establish level flight on course rather than paying attention to the training.

 

What is causing the A10 to depart and auto-disengage that AP?

 

2) I often find in the training missions where you have to repeateldy use the LCTRL+ "Up" arrow on the key board that sometimes the sim will recognize that I have pressed the combination and sometimes it will not. I have tried both quick- clicking and holding the key down for a few seconds (which sometimes seems to help).

 

But I have had to abandon training missions because I cannot proceed to the next step due to the sim not recongizing that I have pressed the indicated keys. Most often this happens with the aforesaid combination, but it has also happened with others.

 

3) I have yet to have the "\" key open the communications dialogs in any mission, training or otherwise. I believe I had set the radios correctly, or have verified that they are set correctly, but I never can open the comms.

 

I must be missing something, but I cannot figure out what.

(1) Are you using a HOTAS like Warthog or Cougar? If so are you sure you have things programed correctly...like trim?

 

(2) Do you have a dead zone programmed into your stick controls? I find that 10 units works well. If the stick is not properly centered (without a dead zone) there may be enough of a force to disconnect the autopilot.

 

(3) Be sure to wait a second or two after they tell you to hit a key or button to actually do it. See if that works.

 

(4) I would start with easy communications to see if the "\" works. I believe that with realistic communications - it is triggered with the actual mic button selections, not the "\".

 

Hope that helps.

It does seem like you are experiencing a controller mapping issue. Can you specificy in which missions the aircraft flies out of control?
