Disable control input when AP is engaged

[Kenzo]

Hi,

Would it be possible to add an option in the EFB to disable control inputs when AP is enabled? My yoke doesnt have a hard centre position and the slightest touch makes the AP lose control of the airplane.

Cheers,

Luc

@kenzo Could a workaround be that you add a bigger dead zone to your yoke?

@sk0941 it might be, however I don’t prefer to have a deadzone nor a “detent” for the centered position.

I believe the F28 is using similar logic to our other aircraft, where you can move the stick/yoke with external controls whenever the AP is engaged.

I'll raise this point with the rest of our development team to see if there's anything we can do to improve that. We may be able to add a dead zone to the yoke through code when the AP is engaged.
