Title: Can't turn on autopilot
Post by Tinman on Jun 4th, 2024 at 12:27am
Just downloaded the new C-130 (with flight deck) and flying my first flight.  I can't turn on the autopilot in the center panel.  Tried using the mouse, button mapping to a Thrustmaster warthogf and the keyboard (Toggle Autopilot Master - "Z") and can't get the pilot switch to turn on.   I autostarted the AC by spawing on the end of the runway.  Is there something else (another switch perhaps) I need to use?

If you have a streamdeck and axes and ohs use this:

OnOffEvent
ON event: K: AUTOPILOT_ON
ON value: 1
ON event: K: AUTOPILOT_OFF
OFF value: 1

Attached are the scripts. Had to change ext. so change ext to .xml before you import it. All you have to do is import them into your axes and ohs.

This forum will not let me send you the streamdeck profile as it's too large. Give me your email address and I'll send it to you that way.

Tinman,

I recommend you not expose your email address in a public forum, soon you will have a flood of spam.

I found this but can't find buddy list on my profile.

Buddy List
The Buddy List section of the profile gives you the ability to add other members that you're frequently contact to a list that will show in your User CP view. Your Buddy List will display each name, their Online/Offline status, and link options to send the user a PM, an e-mail, or visit the link to their website.
Add users to your Buddy List by clicking on the link below the Buddy List display box.
Delete users from your Buddy List by double-clicking on their user name inside the Buddy List display box.

I can't find a Buddy List either.   

retiredflyer73n now that I have some time, I'll try what you suggested and let you know how it turns out.  If you can e-mail your full Stream Deck profile, I can test it out.

UPDATE:  I have NOT updated the C-130 to the new version yet. 

When I jump in it today, the autopilot turned on with the "Z" key and mapping to Autopilot On (one button) and Autopilot OFF (another key) .  Could not map the Alt hold, but the switch did work.  This was mapped to the TM Warthow throttle buttons.

I tried a quick Stream Deck Button to autopilot and shown above, but couldn't get it to work.   Didn't try too hard on it, so I have a ways to go on that.  I'd love to see the Stream Deck profile.

I want to point out again, I didn't do the CAPT Sim C-130 update yet.

I am hoping someone can help? I have have had the c130 on my wish list for a while and now I have it I am buzzing but I can't turn on the ground, from inside the little wheel turns I think it's called a tiller but the aircraft just won't turn. I can start it, all over controls work I've even checking other aircraft and they all turn no problem but all I can do is go back and forth, I am using Xbox s   >:(
