Title: Option to disable joystick-input-autopilot-cancel
Post by: mechanic on April 09, 2013, 01:04:09 PM

Sometimes I go afk and my stick spikes a little and cancels autpilot. Yeah I know I should maybe get a better stick. Though I wonder how many people have this happen to them. An option to enable/disable the autopilot cancelation input method could be done?

Have you tried setting a mode with no inputs but to switch it back to mode one? When you are going inot AP switch to say mode 4 that only has a control set to switch back to mode one. This way when there's a spike it does nothing to the mode one controls. See if it helps <S>

Or you can get a stick that doen't spike.

I predict people doing NOE attacks in jabo will have the ground rise up to meet them often.

You can also adjust the dampning in the stick scales if the spikes aren't all that bad, should be enough to smooth them out so it won't kick off your auto-pilot.

How exactly does dampening work?

 It reduces the input over the entire movement of the axis.  Goto options,controls,map controls, then select the axis of choice and check the advanced box to access the dampening slider.

Could you just bump your deadband up to the moon and then go afk?
With the few cogitations I put into that reply it sounds like it might.   :confused:

I use deadband to stop this. Or I used to  :neener:,,   If I'm in bombers, I always go to nose gun position after I've established climb and heading . This solves accidental bumping of the stick when I get in and out of my chair! :joystick:

Dampening is how fast the stick can move I.E. the max control change per second.

Deadband, is how far the stick must move before it is not longer considered zero, I.E. still in the center.
