HoYa Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm trying to map key commands to my hotas, but I can't seem to find autopilot anywhere, any help as to which menu it's under would be appreciated. Also, when flying the f15c, I mapped the rudder toe brake as the wheel brake with no problem but the a10a simply won't map it, any ideas ?

dallas48 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi Look for LAAP under the "all" heading in controls for the auto pilot. The is no axis setting for brakes, just set "w" to a button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoYa Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Got it on the brakes, However, I've tried mapping all of the LAAPs to my hotas, and none of them will hold alt, bearing, or speed. It's hard to aim Mavericks while steering the hog! Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocket Sized Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 To use the autopilot (and gun PAC) you must first turn on EAC. ...which is done by pressing left alt 5 and then left alt 4. DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoYa Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Armed EAC, both by key mapped and keyboard, and the plane still rights itself and starts to climb...frustrating. I tried in AA mode and GA mode.... Any other thing you can think of ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu68 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) First you choose which autopilot mode you want (L Alt +1,2,3) then press A to engage autopilot. Make sure you're level before engaging AP or it won't engage. To orbit first initiate a level turn then choose alt/bank hold (L alt +3) then A to engage AP.

Its a lot easier to lock your target when you dont have to fight the stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
