AnnaNass Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 The autopilot flies a sinus wave vertical and horizontal while trying to hold altitude or while trying to follow the localizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_1stVFW Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 The autopilot isn't perfect. You'll see deviations from the input paramenters. I think the effect is a little overdone, but not terribly so. You can help yourself out a bit by being very close to your desired autopilot holds and stable before engaging it. You will have to monitor the autopilot control input very closely while letting it fly. Especially during an approach.

CptSmiley Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hey guys, just an FYI, updated AP logic but for HUD symbology and for behavior is in the works, most of the improvements are ready for the next update. "Witness mere F-14s taking off from adjacent flight decks, gracefully canting left and right, afterburners flaming, and there’s something that sweeps you away—or at least it does me. And no amount of knowledge of the potential abuses of carrier task forces can affect the depth of that feeling. It simply speaks to another part of me. It doesn’t want recriminations or politics. It just wants to fly.” ― Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of updates it's been 3 weeks now any chance we'll see it THIS week? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our updates are ready to go, but unfortunately we don't call the shots on when ED makes a new update for DCS that pushes our changes to you guys.

bkthunder Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The autopilot is VERY unstable at high altitude. It's just impossible to keep it in ALT HLD, it has a bad case of APIO (auto-pilot induced oscillations) :D Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AP needs a big fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
