ZeroReady Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Using a TM Warthog. Pressing the AP Button causes the AP to come on only as long as the button is held down. The Q key works fine, but not the HOTAS command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q key works fine, but not the HOTAS command. I confirm this, also when you press AP Engage button in the cockpit directly by clicking on it, autopilot will not engage.

Emmy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Is it the keybind for the throttle pinky button or the button on the WH behind the throttles? Or both?

Bagpipe Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Well i give in, i have spent about 1.5 hours trying to teach myself lua scripting and going through alot of old posts on the forum via google searches to see how they used to do it but the code has changed a bit since then and i have no idea how to make it work. Should be a simple hotfix solution though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpipe Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Oh...hold up :) Put the Flight path marker out-with the limits for autopilot to engage (i.e. -10 degrees) and hold "A" or your binding for autopilot engage/disengage. Keep it held and bring the nose back to level and release. Et Voila....but now pressing the key again will not let you cancel autopilot. To release the autopilot you just have to maneuver a bit. There's something wrong with the definition somewhere but I cannot find it. Have fun with that :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg71 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Confirmed. Autopilot in a10c needs button command to be held on. Releasing button disengages autopilot. Only appeared after update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldleader Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Don't forget there are two bindings for the Autopilot Engage disengage 1. AAP Engage/Disengage which is default bound to the A key and the Black button on the warthog throttle next to the Autopilot mode three position switch (ALT:ALT/HDG:PATH) 2. Left Throttle button which is default bound to the Q key and the Red Pinky button on the front of the left throttle handle AAP Disengage/Engage (A) is not functioning as designed, Left Throttle Button (Q) is functioning as designed quick fix is to bind both buttons on your hardware to the Left Throttle Bind in the game. i9-9900KS CPU @ 5.1GHz, Win10 Pro 64bit, Gigabyte Z390 Master Mobo, Corsair Vengance 64GB 3000Mhz Ram, 1 x ADATA SX8200 Pro 1Tb Drive (OS), 1 x ADATA SX8200 Pro 512Gb Drive (DCS), 1 x RTX 2080Ti AORUS Waterforce 11Gb, 3 x 27" ACER Predator 2560x1440px, 27" LG 2560x1440px HP Reverb G2, TrackIR5, HOTAS Warthog Throttle and Stick, 3 x HOTAS Cougar MFCDs, Elgato Streamdeck & Streamdeck XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better! I am getting used to using the A key in ALT mode now. So you could set it using Q and then by holding A you can start a turn and when your bank angle is where you want it release A and repeat as you exit the turn. No idea if it's accurate but i kinda like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpipe Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 What? Its a bug! ED ruin the A 10C...1 step forward , 3 backwards. Nineline has already commented on Hoggit that it has slipped through and is fixed internally so clearly the bits of code they were re-writing got a little bit jumbled. If this is the case it should be hotfixed by this evening. Two of us have already given you a workaround until it gets fixed so wind your neck in a wee bit they hardly RUINED it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacEwan Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Having this problem here also. Hopefully we won't have to wait for the full update cycle and we can get a Hotfix for this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoot Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 bind this instead while waiting for the patch with the fix or if you feel handy with lua, you can probably spot and fix the issue by digging into the keybind files for the A-10c... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapFreddy Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Came to post about it... Same here, if you press and hold down A autopolit will remain engaged. but thats not how it should work. As soon as you release the engane/disengage button i´ll turn off... befor last update it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
