Autopilot Question
-
So if you unplug your joystick, then start a mission in the air, and use the mouse to click the AP switches and change steerpoint, with the default keyfile loaded, it still does not make steering inputs?
If so, there is definitely something wrong somewhere.

This is what I said “only when set up properly” in that case strg selected
But first forget about course , are you able to engage the ALT hold autopilot and working fine ? Do not forget that stick steering is always available in AP as well
Mav,
I was going to check that next. So if I point the jet up a few degrees - less than 5 - and engage ALT hold then it should change the AOA to 0, right? Also, is there some type of indicator light that tells you that you are in AP mode? There was a YouTube video by, I think Krause, that showed an indicator light on the AP panel that turns on when you enable AP. I don’t see that… -
No, because at zero AoA, you have a nearly ballistic trajectory. If you put the switch up, it should level off at the current altitude. If you put it down, it should maintain its present attitude.
The position of the AP switch tells you you are in AP.

I don’t see that…no, dont touch your ROLL switch, and FLIP with your mouse the PITCH switch to ALT.
It should hold altitude as long as you have enough speed….to test it, easy , climb with your stick and release, the AP should command push down and recover the altitude you set when switching the button

Thanks all for your suggestions. Pitch was not enabled so I uninstalled and reinstalled BMS. That seemed to do the trick. Something must have been corrupted.

Well it reverted back to no AP. The switched enable, but no AP. I have been using variations of Morphine’s key and script. I decided to try Mudd’s because I was having issues with the speed brake with JC1’s script. I couldn’t get it to work even when assigning the DX code. AP worked with Mudd’s script and key file. Weird. I am hoping I don’t have a hardware issue with Warthog. Mudd’s profile is less complicated. Maybe it’s related to shifting?
At this point I am going try and modify Mudd’s profile. I am going to try enable shifting and see what happens.

After all those years I still don’t understand why people are just not using DX simple programming . I never ever touched my keystroke file in 19 years of falcon

Well, if you have ON-OFF-ON switches, you will need to use less than simple DX programming. Still need to dive into keystroke file to program DX button release effects.

The OP is building a cockpit ?
