Course and Heading adjustments

[flipside]

I once saw a way to change the increments when clicking on a given number in the autopilot. I am most interested in changing the course and heading settings. Right now, when I click on the settings the numbers change by ten. How do I make it so that the numbers change by one instead?

i have seen different autopilots act differently... but i would try clicking on different areas of the HDG / CRS area to see if it makes any difference.

what craft is it? and where did you find it?

Let me see if i get this right.
You want your heading to change by 1 degree???
USE THE HEADING BUG ON THE HEADING INDICATOR.
This questions are getting better by the day!!!!

I installed the Citation Sovereign....this is what I found..

Mouse clicks on knobs or readouts

Maybe thats the way they program it.Usually if you go to heading bug on heading indicator you get 1" increments.

You all can forget it. I installed  a different panel in which the issue is not an issue.

Flipside,

I think you unconsciously solved the problem. If a 3P gauge continuously sends event commands to e.g. the autopilot instead of when they are needed, this can cause the effect of incrementing headings by 10 instead of 1, since FS is struggling to keep up with the gauge's input alongside everything else.

Three ways out: use a different panel (which is what you did); or if you like the panel and want to continue using it, you can go through the panel.cfg, REMming out the gauges one by one until you find the gauge that's causing the problem (unlikely to be any of the default gauges) and replace it with another one. Or you can use the registered version of FSUIPC which fixes this 'control acceleration' issue.

question.

original panel, the one that you had the problem with the Heading Indicator in AP.  -- with this panel, could you use the VC??

new panel - does it cause the VC Gauges to NOT show up?

do you fly in the VC at all?  

is this where the Heading Indicator problem is?





The reason for my questions, is IF i go and download this craft, I might be able to exchange the gauges out for you and tell you what to do to get it working correctly so that you can have your original panel.   That is if you liked it better than this new one that you just found (other than the heading indicator)

If there is one, it's possible to add gauges to a VC by copy/pasteing the vcockpit entries from the original plane's panel. Nice offer, prop.
