Guys I purchased this aircraft and I love it and I've been reading through the manual but I can't seem to get the aircraft to hold vertical speed. Any tips on this? Thanks Also where do I set my altitude.

Hi Angus,

The autopilot is very primitive and doesn't feature the ability to control vertical speed or select an altitude. The real unit doesn't even have the ability to hold altitude, it simply controls bank/heading, but we've included the option to toggle altitude hold by right-clicking on the mode selector knob.

Thanks
Martyn

Hey Martyn when I takeoff I click the autopilot button but the plane doesn't do anything. What is it I'm doing wrong here? Thanks

Hi Angus,

Have you followed the tutorial in the manual? That covers an entire flight and makes use of the autopilot, with screenshots showing what to do etc.

Thanks
Martyn

Hi all,
I love the T-Arrow, makes all my Carenado planes boring. But does anyone else run out of nose down trim?
