Restrict elevator movement with AP +ALT Hold on

Post by JamieKugelmann »

Hi,

My friend purchased the Cessna 172R Trainer for me today.
When I am flying with the autopilot and alt hold on, the elevator is quite sensitive when trimmed down/up a bit. I thought maybe there should be an option for people who want this, to restrict elevator movement to a minimum/small angle so that people who have joysticks like mine which sometime oscillates, it won't make the plane go out of control from pitching too savagely with AP and ALT hold on. When autopilot is off this would no longer be needed as pilots use the elevator heaps and trim the plane level.

We have something like that planned for the update, no ETA thogh.

As a temporary workaround, there is an option in FSX to disable joystick input completely, you can even assign keyboard shortcut to that.
