ChrisJD Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hi I had to re install DCS recently & thought I would fly the A10A & F15 again. So where is the autopilot for both these aircraft? The key strokes are listed, but have no effect. Am I missing something or have they actually been removed from the modules? ChrisJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanK Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Dunno about the F-15 but for the A-10 remember to arm it using Alt - 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJD Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi JanK I have been using DCS since FC1, so I am familiar with the keystrokes for the Autopilot. I am currently using the latest version of DCS 2.5.4.27430. The A10A has no keystrokes/joystick buttons at all for an Autopilot, & the F15C has 3 listed - none of which work. Since there is nothing listed for the A10A, I would like to know why this has been omitted - when the real A10A has an autopilot? Hardly realistic! ED, answers please.

nessuno0505 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 It's a long time since I played a-10a but I remember the autopilot works in the same way as for the a-10c. You have to activate EAC before turning AP on/off, and then you have 3 AP modes to choose. If you have no more keystrokes to assign in the last DCS version, it's a bug and you should report it.

ChrisJD Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thanks nessuno0505 Yes I have tried different permutations of L Alt + 1 2 3 4 5 No luck. The problem is that on the Control set up for the A10A, the Autopilot is not listed at all - so obviously no keystrokes are going to be recognised. Perhaps I will raise a bug report with ED.

ChrisJD Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Solved I think! Hi The Autopilot is NOT mentioned, nor is the EAC used for the this. The actual place is the LAAP. L Alt + A puts the Autopilot into Alt Hold. To change to other modes you press L Alt + A again, then select L Alt + 1 2 or 3 then press L Alt + A again & you should get Path hold or Path/Alt hold. I will have to have a play around to get things clear in my mind! ChrisJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJD In the F-15C you have A for attitude hold, and then H for altitude hold (in that order) and that's all there is. Now, when you don't have the commands listed try: 1. Temporarily remove \Saved games\DCS\input\config\_aircraft_name_ so the game loads defaults 2. Temporarily remove any default profile for your HOTAS in \DCS\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Input\_aircraft_name_ Make backup copies or just rename the files when doing the changes!

rogorogo504 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) just a short necro, just today I tested the A-10A (as I try to get someone to use his, to finally start getting into DCS) and I just.could.not.get. the LAAP to work. I do not know whether those switches on the LASTE panel are animated or not, but I followed the correct procedure, aka tried on/off, switch modes only when off and the LAAP would not come on. Once I had a LAAP related line in the HUD, but the plane still would not use the LAAP. Since this happened in Multiplayer and in the O-B branch, and this is a very old module with an AFM (so it has not received any special attention for long) I do not have a problem with it being bugged (except that it makes aiming Mavericks with the TDC and TV a little more tricky when your stick and trim is not the best) - I just would like to know if anyone knows a current state. Thank you in advance UPDATE: with O-B build 2.5.6.49798 the LAAP started working again for me - disregard post Edited May 31, 2020 by rogorogo504 resolved with latest O-B build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
