Speed Hold Switch?

(1/2) > >>

idahosurge:
Is there a way to hold a certain speed with the autopilot?  I can not see a way, but when I was messing around setting a heading and altitude my throttle seemed to get locked up and I could not figure out how to unlock it, I finally got it unlocked, but have not idea what I did to get the throttle unlocked.

This also seems to happen with altitude, I set a heading and then the altitude gets locked without pushing the altitude hold button.  After turning everthing in AP mode off and then AP on/off a couple of times it finally gets the altitude unlocked.

Regards,

Rod

Ctrl R locks the speed  :)

or you can add a 737 autopilot to your panel.cfg, but then you'll have to copy the B737_800.cab file under the 737 folder to your main gauges folder



Window04=Autopilot

I have also noticed this behaviour. Same happens if pushed altitude hold. Heading gets locked without touching it. It's quiet annoying :/

Glad to see that I am not the only one that has encountered the problem(s).

I am with you guys, very annoying.  But for now, as mentioned, the workaround is turning the AP off and then set the altitude hold.
