S-Tec Autopilot suggestion

Post by simonflight »

Hi Guys,

One thing that's always stopped me using the S-Tec AP fully is not being able to quickly re center the L/R turn knob after use.

What I would find use full is a right mouse click on the knob to re center it. Or maybe a click spot just above as an alternative.

Anyone else think this would be a handy addition ?

Best Regards
Simon

There is such feature in it, though I don't remember what you had to click. It was fairly easy to figure out though.

Hi AKar,

Wow you are correct its there already. How bizarre, I was right clicking like a madman earlier in case it existed but couldn't get it to work. Now it does. So I'll put it down to pilot error.

Thanks for pointing this out :D

Cheers
Simon

No problem Simon. :)

This turn knob is one of my favorite features in this AP. I find it extremely useful in simulator when doing VFR, such as valley runs or following some roads. More so than clumsy heading select in which many more "advanced" autopilots default to. As I don't have any fancy view aids or VR, I really like the 'mouse wheel control' when panning the view around constantly.
