A310 - F/O should not activate AP after takeoff

[eddl]

Hi,

I am using the iniBuilds A310 and want to use FSFO purely as an audible add-on with F/O only doing callouts. I have gone through all the options extensively and have only callouts enabled and everything else, including flow disabled.

But after takeoff my F/O says LNAV-VNAV and activates the autopilot. What can I do so he does not toggle any switches?

Thank you.

Hey bud!

This is easy, just go to FSFO > ... > Configuration > SOPS >

Set ENGAGE VNAV to 0
Set ENGAGE LNAV to 0
Set AUTOPILOT ON to 0
Set AUTOPILOT OFF to 0

Hi Matthew,

thank you, I will try that!

It might more intuitive to add a slider "MANAGE AP" in the main options which has the same affect as the settings you mentioned.

All the best.

I thought about that option; however, I want FSFO to be adaptable as possible. To the point, some users want FSFO to engage LNAV, but not the AutoPilot; some users what FSFO to engage but NOT disengage the AutoPilot. I try to provide the most flexible copilot program available, while keep things easy for our pilots.

To me setting values to zero to disable something is not very intuitive.

Maybe add a slider for every option you listed (and more). Highly configurable and also clear.

Number of sliders will increase, but when you group them logically (all sliders for AP actions together) then it will be easy to use. Even now with all the options some groups to optically group objects would be nice.

Thanks for your work!

I agree, it's not intuitive; however, there's a message on the configuration page that says "set to 0 to disable"
