Horizontal Staberliser

[meplay]

Ive got the key mapped for it but it isnt working...any ideas?

Same problem here... was just about to post when I saw this.
I could have sworn it worked the first time I toggled it... but then never again.

And if you find the answer please post it!!

Same here, mapped but not working! HELP!

[Saintblu]

I heard it's bugged like everything else...

Oh, a polemic!

If you mean the single axe autopilot, it is working!
One just has to be patient as a mechanical system with a slow reaction (dampening) is simulated. No instant success like in 1946.

It is supposed to work with bombers only. No fighters at all.

Interesting. Could your provide some details please?

The reason i'm asking is that i keep pressing the key i have mapped to it but i don't even get the kind of confirmation that i get for other controls (the blue text on the right-hand side of the screen that tells me for example, that i switched my fuel tanks to main or turned on my lights, etc). Maybe it is tied to the realism setting for bombs, preventing us from using it if the setting is on? I'm just guessing here by the way.

I'm also very interested to see the implementation you describe, since in the real thing most of the times the manuals advised pilots to trim for level flight before engaging the autopilot and not expect it to work all by itself.

I can't wait to start experimenting with some level bombing
