• 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.

Problem with autopilot

Hello everybody!
i have a problem with a plane i am working on, even if in the autopilot the default_vertical_speed is set to 1800, when i change altitude the max descent speed is around -1000 and climbing it is around +1200.
If i move a bit the vertical speed knob, like 1700 and then 1800 again, the plane get the right vertical speed of 1800.
Looks like it ignore the value, until i move and set it.
I am going crazy since i'm trying lot of settings.
Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks
 
Make sure you are not using a system that requires you to 'set' and 'activate' your VS setting. For instance, on airliners, you dial in your VS, but you need to activate it, like 'Push to Arm'. Othewise, it uses its base setting that is in the 'aircraft config'. If you want to change the 'default' VS for AP, then go to the aircraft config, into its autopilot section and reset the VS to 1800. Then it will always use that as its default VS speed.

If you are making your own gauges, make sure your AP coding is using the right command (event) strings to operate VS. Dont use the 'setting' system which I just talked about, if that is giving you a hassle.
