• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Can I invisibly disable the autopilot when simulating hydraulic failure?

I want to be able to disable the autopilot without the "autopilot disengaged" sound playing or any of the autopilot settings visibly changing, in order to simulate a failure of the flight controls from hydraulic failure.

If I just try to lock the controls by disabling the joystick (through FSUIPIC) and using K:AILERON/ELEVATOR/RUDDER_SET events, the autopilot will override these commands when it is active -- any way to prevent this?

Hope someone here can help,

George
 
You have to eliminate the disconnect audio entry or it will always sound when the autopilot turns off. You can't really make the default autopilot turn off and not have the default behavior happen.
 
Turn altitude hold on and set the desired altitude to 0 - that will at least insure a crash... :)
