Hi all, I have tried to enable Autopilot to take off and show myself to Ground Control to receive take off clearance, but, surprisingly for me ( I'd never used it to fly before), Autopilot does not work!

I've mapped SHIFT+A key in the section "General", line "AI Toggle control". Then I tried SP Quick Mission "Free flight over Channel": no way, I press Shift A and nothing happens, the plane drops down if I do not touch the Joystick.

Also, I have tried mapping same keys (disabling the above) in the "Aircraft" section "Course Autopilot - Cycle Modes": no way, nothing happens.

This SHIFT+A combination is mapped nowhere in any other place of the sim, I've checked that.

So, is really Autopilot working in this f*(k¡|\|g half-completed sim or am I a dumb ? :) Good old IL-2 had this working perfectly!.

Nothing to do with TF great work indeed, I've checked this also in Vanilla CloD and same happens!

Thanks for your help!!

Cazador,

Tal vez tienes un conflicto de teclas. Intenta "mapear" algo como CTRL-Q a ver si funciona.

Cazador,

I suspect that you have a "conflict" with yourself, :)

Probable in Options > "Realism" > "No AI control" are ticked. :thumbsup:

The key or combo dont matter, I use Alt+A.

BTW - The functions "Course Autopilot - Cycle Modes" is for another kind of "autopilot", the "Kurssteureung" (TF please translate this :whacky: )

That's the point! I have Full Real settings, and of course this does not allow AI Control !! Finally, it is clear, I'm a dumb!

Thanks a lot, you made my day! Gracias tambien, Colander! :)


By the way, I subscribe Sokol's question, what's ""Kurssteureung", a German Autopilot?

Kursteuerung means; Course control/course management.

Err, I beg for translate in CloD GUI, is boring see this in Blenheim/Br.20 and ever in Ju-88 because all others messages related system are in English. :thumbsup:
Perhaps just "Autopilot Course"...

Cazador this thing is used in bombers for maintain a level flight during level bombering.

Aha, so that is the "Level Autopilot" command existing in good old IL-2...

I haven't tried bombing yet, in CloD, but I subscribe Sokol's petition of a more appropiated translation, for future patches.

Thanks!
