Cibit Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Control helper is the overlay on mission start which can be toggled with right Cntl + Enter The autopilot adjustment gives a virtual co-pilot options to tune autpilot controls you turn him on via keyboard shortcut( IIRC right control + A I may be wrong though.

Eponsky_bot Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 If the function "Autopilot Adjustment" is enabled, the AI Autopilot autopilot automatically adjusts continuously. But you can use tincture of the autopilot manually by pressing the corresponding button, and the "Autopilot Adjustment" function menu should be disabled Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4 /i9-12900KF /64 Gb- G.SKILL Trident DDR4 4000 МГц / Palit GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GameRock 8GB /Corsair HX1200 1200W DCS A-10C Обучающий урок "Концепция HOTAS" (RU) DCS P-51D Руководство пилота Обучающие миссии для Ми-8 (Радиооборудование) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospadin Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Control helper is the overlay on mission start which can be toggled with right Cntl + Enter FYI, there's a mod floating out there to disable the autopilot display (upper right) that I really like. That way ctrl-enter only shows the control inputs for me. Basically you just have to comment out half of a single .lua file, but I can't remember which one offhand.

zaelu Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The autopilot adjustment option in SPECIAL panel gives "Flight Engineer" (not copilot) the third crew member full time and if you use the command from keyboard/joystick commands with the one in SPECIAL disabled you command the Flight Engineer to tune the autopilot for the flight regime ant trim you are using at that time.

Knubinator Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 So how realistic would this be? I mean, would an actual Mi8 have the FE doing something to adjust the autopilot? i7 4790k @ 4.4, 32GB RAM, RX480 GTR I fly it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1.JaVA_Platypus Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Well. I suppose the Mi-8 cockpit is rather cramped as it is and the Flight Engineer is not having any fun at all, having the worst seat of the lot... (and nothing much to do except to fiddle with the autopilot, for the good or the bad...) But even without the AI interfering, the Mi-8 is very stable. I like it a lot.
