Hi there!

 

Wonder if this has ever been discussed.

I have the Airbus package, incl A380.

Using the Flightplanner, with altitude set, most of the planes from the Airbus Package are going up and down, causing the game

to alert me with wrong altitude. It goes 5-700 feet too high, before going down, coming through the designated altitude until the

plane is 5-700 feet too low.

 

Anyone who has experienced this, and woulkd there be a working solution to the problem??

 

Happy for any help, please.

Go to the aircraft cfg look under autopilot,autopilot available check to see if it`s 1 and not 0,1 will make it useable! also check your panel and flight director and altitude hold are on. 

Hi Alcanallen!

Thanks for trying to help me out.

Yes, it is 1 in the cfg file, and surely all the switches are on in my panel.

Problem is, that the Autopilot works, but is NOT accurate. It goes up and down all the time.

 

I compared the cfg file with the 737-400 provided by MS - it comes with the game.

Only difference - 2 lines

default_pitch_mode                  = 0
default_bank_mode                  = 0

They are NOT in the default CFG file.

You might try adjusting the [pitot_static] entries in your config file.

 

[pitot_static]

vertical_speed_time_constant= x.x                //Increasing this value will cause a more instantaneous reaction in the VSI

pitot_heat=1.000000

 

Sometimes decreasing the value will reduce 'hunting' in altitude hold.

Thxs pfflyers!

I will give it a try, and let you know when I have a result - good or bad B)

pfflyer!

vertical_speed_time_constant= x.x  was 2.0 in the CFG file.

I changed it to 1.0 - did't help.

Is it possible to take the whole autopilot section from a working plane, and paste it into

the Airbus planes having the problem??

It funny. Its not all the planes in that package.

It include 318, 319, 320, 330, 343, 346, 350, and 380.

380, 350 and 346 has the problem. Not the 330 and 343!!!

Strange!
