dAsReLiCT Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hey guys, I have a question according to the post-start pilot Chklst (Navair 01-F14AAP-1B page 231) is to put the autopilot on Engage, I have found nothing in the other Chklsts that you do not disable the autopilot in flight. Is that correct? greetings The underground is where I dwell at, It's where I find my heaven, and where you find your hell at :music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I noticed this as well...the HB checklist says the same. It doesn't make sense to me though because when you set the autopilot engage switch to on, it engages the attitude hold. With it on in normal flight, you would be constantly fighting the autopilot. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayos Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 You can set the auto pilot options and then engage it with the nosewheel steering button [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 You can set the auto pilot options and then engage it with the nosewheel steering button Attitude hold is engaged by just switching the autopilot engage switch to on...no need to depress the NWS button. NWS button is used to engage the three autopilot modes as selected. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if the autopilot is engage without any opiton alt, hdg the plane is stabilized but not that it keeps the altitude or the heading Edited March 24, 2019 by dAsReLiCT The underground is where I dwell at, It's where I find my heaven, and where you find your hell at :music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
