hazeleyes Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hello! Just finished my first complete flight in the normally aspirated SR22, and I have to say, it's a remarkable aircraft! However, I noticed one issue with the autopilot: when using the RealSimGear GFC 700, when the autopilot is on and the Vertical Speed mode is selected, the nose up/down wheel function is opposite of what it should be: i.e., when you roll the wheel toward "Down" (which is physically "up"), the nose goes UP. Otherwise, the Perspective system functions almost exactly like the real thing -- incredible work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will reach out to RealSimGear to see if perhaps there is something in their config files. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9 Aviation Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Yes, some of the RealSimGear hardware/firmware combinations have this action reversed. Its easy to change by editing the CommandMapping.ini file found in the SR22/22T folders. Look for the GFC700 sections [RealSimGear-GFC700#4] and [RealSimGear-GFC700#6]. Find the commands: ENC_Wheel_UP@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#4=sim/autopilot/vertical_speed_up ENC_Wheel_UP@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#5=sim/autopilot/airspeed_down ENC_Wheel_UP@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#6=sim/autopilot/altitude_up ENC_Wheel_DN@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#4=sim/autopilot/vertical_speed_down ENC_Wheel_DN@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#5=sim/autopilot/airspeed_up ENC_Wheel_DN@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#6=sim/autopilot/altitude_down And change the last values to match what you need to do, ie: ENC_Wheel_UP@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#4=sim/autopilot/vertical_speed_down ENC_Wheel_UP@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#5=sim/autopilot/airspeed_down ENC_Wheel_UP@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#6=sim/autopilot/altitude_up ENC_Wheel_DN@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#4=sim/autopilot/vertical_speed_up ENC_Wheel_DN@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#5=sim/autopilot/airspeed_up ENC_Wheel_DN@sim/cockpit2/autopilot/altitude_mode#6=sim/autopilot/altitude_down Save the file, and reload X-Plane 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
