Milviz Cessna 310 Releasing May 4, 2022!

Recommended Posts

Lovely aircraft, but the KAP140 needs a few tweaks.   Armed mode for the altitude is not annunciated, and the when engaged, the AP is seeking 'straight and level', when the real KAP140 engages with a 'pitch and roll hold' basic mode.

I found the cause of the AP issues, in the systems.cfg  :-

DEFAULT_PITCH_MODE  is correctly set to '1'  (hold current pitch).

However, there's then an errorneous entry of "USE_NO_DEFAULT_PITCH =1", which tells MSFS not to use the above default pitch mode.

I deleted the above entry, and the AP engages smoothly and correctly now.

Also, DEFAULT_VERTICAL_SPEED is currently set to 700, but should be set to 0, to allow the preselected altitude to be changed, without the aircraft (incorrectly) immediately climbing/descending, without VS mode having been engaged.

Thank you for that, good find! 😉

I found one just clicking around inside the cockpit. Didn't know there were nine.

I think that's the number I heard on the stream yesterday. I found eight.

Excellent troubleshooting skills.

Made no sense to me when I first read the negative comments about the KAP 140 AP, since I have used it before and never had a problem. I think some just like to make up issues. 

Unjustified thinking.  It does make sense.  When the systems.cfg is set up differently in different planes, of course it will operate differently.

Yes , I made some changes in the User.cfg that you posted this morning. I didn't realize that the KAP 140 had a user CFG that could be modified.

Good find indeed, but after applying the changes, with target altitude set, trimmed in climb, engaging the AP starts up with ROL / VS / 0 fpm.  Does it capture current pitch for anyone?

Thanks for this! 

Does it need to be saved in read only for it to persist?
