Level autopilot

[VALENGO]

Is there any thread on level autopilot? I don´t understand how (and when!) it works. I´ve tried a few times, but only get "pilot automation off", or something, and my ship never goes straight.

There isn't level autopilot in this game. "pilot automation on", "pilot automation off", that's all.

Yes there is!, I have FB + PF and there is level autopilot.

Very True, Ive seen both of the functions, but never use them.

Trims is the way to go. Planes of the 40's did not had autopilot, so consider yourself lucky.

I'm busy working/building a Historically Campaing in New Guinea (Missions Against Buna) (Missions Against Buna) where you have to do all by your self. The AI planes will fly to the target, but if you use autopiltot, you and your squadron will take of and land at the same airfield, so navigation and planning is essential. Hopefully I'll be finised around May 2008 with it.

You´re right, eddie, but any days I like the game easy way (other days I prefer it hard). But anyway I like to know the whole game, and how it works.
Well, I go to Buna right now, let´s chek it out.

Eddie, I don´t know if I misunderstood, but I follow your link and reach an interesting site, but there is no "mission download area" over there. sorry, I´m a little slow any times.

I dont use the level autopilot function (so dont know much about it) much in the game however i do use the level stabilser when on bombing runs. The level auto pilot and level stabilser are 2 different things, if you wish to use the stabiliser you have to map it (pretty sure its in the trim control section.

When in strabiliser mode you can adjust rudder trim & speed only (pretty sure anyway)
