I mean middle click, when you click down the scroll wheel on you mouse.
Well sorry but the generic autopilot is unrealistic rubbish and keep in mind you are flying a General Aviation aircraft with an autopilot suited for that - if you think you get any VNAV guidance whatsoever (which even the generic autopilot barely has, just extremely basic altitude logic which is annoying cause it always get the descent rate wrong cause generic a/p is rubbish) then you are flying the wrong plane. You need to do that.
We model the software revision 6 by the way (you can see a 6 appear during the self test). If you read the POH better it explains it all, but I will try to summarize best I can.
The change heading for localizer is only for the "DG Panel" not the "HSI Panel" because on the DG panel, the autopilot does not talk to the OBS for heading, so it does not know the course. So the heading bug is used to know the course. It will follow the localizer arm though. However, the "HSI Panel" since the HSI combines a DG and a OBS, the autopilot can use the course knob on the HSI directly for VOR/LOC.
For Approach, the button APR just makes the NAV mode (VOR/LOC) more sensitive to deviations, so that it tracks closer to the center than VORs. To engage GS arm, the following MUST bet true:
- NAV APR engaged
- ALT engaged
- both NAV and GS error flags are not visible in HSI/OBS
- the NAV radio (whichever is selected) is tuned to a LOC frequency, not VOR
- LOC deviation is 50% or lower
- at least 10% below GS
You will notice next to ALT will appear a GS light. once it gets to 5% below GS, the ALT light goes away and only GS is lit, and you will now descending to follow the GS. If a fuck-shit happens and the GS does not engage for whatever reason, you can press "ALT" and immediately it will switch to GS mode - possibly with an abrupt pitch change - which we have modelled as described.
What do you mean an "F" button for that?
