Altitude arm issue
-
Hello community!
What a wonderful airplane 146 is. Slowly taking over duties from my modern aircraft fleet, cause it's such a joy to fly it :drooling_face:
However, with the latest version, I think I am experiencing some issue, as I know from the manual and some post on the forum, that it should not be like that.
The issue is altitude arm. Which does exactly what it should be - it arms it, but only for the first time. If for example I've been cleared for initial climb to 5000, it arms that altitude and during the climb to that altitude, (let's say at 3000) I have been cleared to climb further to FL, it stops the climb at 5000 and the only solution to climb further is to disengage altitude arm, set new altitude and arm it again. I know it should not be like that, I've seen a post somewhere, that this issues has been fixed already. I am on a latest version 0.1.8, so should not be experience this issue? I was wondering if someone else still has this issue on latest version and maybe knows the medicine for that? Or I should try to reinstall the plane?Regards,

Ok Pilots,
Looks like I have found the cause of my own problem. So in case if someone is interested, here's what it was.
I did full reinstall, which did not solved the problem, so, I started to experiment. The problem appears to be in altitude select binding on a keyboard. I have set "INCREASE/DECREASE AP ALTITUDE REFERENCE BUG" to keyboard arrows, not to use the mouse, while doing manual flying. This setting does change the number on the display to whatever you set it, but it is not arming that altitude. So that's why the plane was leveling off at first armed altitude. And also you cannot see altitude knob turning as it is when you turn it with mouse (can also hear click noises). Tested many times and it works perfectly if set with mouse. Which is a little bit strange, as I have also bind heading reference to some keys and it works as it should. Well, as long as it is flying now as it should, I am happy with it. Just wondering, if altitude change and arm will work as it should, if setting changed with rotary encoder, as I am building MCP for my cockpit :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Hope that was interesting to someone, enjoy flying! :airplane: -
