Bank Angle Limit

[jsnapp]

Does the bank angle limit work in the IXEG?   My preliminary testing says it does not.

When I turn the knob in the cockpit I see that ixeg/733/MCP/mcp_bank_angle_act dataref changes value.   However the autopilot dataref sim/cockpit2/autopilot/bank_angle_mode does NOT change value.    Perhaps the IXEG autopilot is fully customized in its handling of bank angle, but I see steep bank angles even at cruise.

 

Cheers,

I did not perform much testing on this honestly, but i do recall bank limiter worked when tested. Still it does not intervene always as you may think.

 

LNAV & LOC mode it will not intervene. The aircraft must intercept in LOC mode and must complain lateral procedure requirements under LNAV. It won't care what you set.

HDG sel mode and VOR mode should work

 

note: I do not know what you tested specifically.

@mmerelles that is great info to know!  I believe I primarily just tested if the two datarefs were coupled and if bank changed, most likely in LNAV mode.   I will test in HDG mode directly.

cool, report back how it goes...

@mmerelles it seems you are entirely correct and that in HDG mode it does respect bank angle!
